It's worth pointing out that unlike the US, the triple J network being
mentioned by our Australian friends is actually non commercial and
funded entirely by the Australian government for the "good of young
folk." There's pressure on the neighbouring New Zealand government to
set up the same there so there's an alternative to the crap played on
mainstream radio.
