Creeping Americanization: When was the last time you heard an ABC Radio National presenter not pronounce 'project' the American way?

Perhaps it doesn't matter, but there must still be some Australians who respect their own traditions and culture. And I'm sure there are many who don't want 'fries' with their 'to go' meals at the 'store' near the 'train station'. Come on, Auntie! Let's send 'prodject' back to the US of A, along with all the other American pronunciations and idioms that your presenters are adopting at an alarming rate.
