Ye Gods another Christian(i use the word loosely)sticking his nose into other peoples business,as long as it has no effect on you Bill mind your own bloody business.
You get sick of the Bible bashes filling kids heads with BS and egged on by the ignorant and uninformed on here.
Your entitled to believe what you want Bill even if you cant prove a word of it, cause you know it was made up by a bunch of blokes with no sense of humor.
GO AWAY

Democritus,

I don't know where you are getting your info, perhaps direct from Andrew Bolt or Piers Ackerman but...
16 October 2013, 02:28PM Amnesty International web site

"Amnesty International is calling for the immediate removal from detention of two pregnant women currently detained in the Nauru Regional Processing Centre."

Also...
theguardian.com, Tuesday 15 October 2013 12.44 AEST

"A second pregnant woman is being held in immigration detention on Nauru, the UNHCR has confirmed to Guardian Australia.

The woman, of Rohingya descent, is thought to be about 30 years old and is seven months pregnant with twins, according to UNHCR and other sources who did not want to be identified."

I can't see any evidence of poor reporting by the ABC can you? These are independent articles on the issue so your bias is showing.

So if you are going to give examples of the "tax payer funded left wing mouthpiece" at least get your references right!

Oxymoron; ABC factcheckers.

The stewards of the ABC have trashed it's reputation. They are by large majority Greens voters, i.e. radical liberals (central government domination of all aspects of human life), and by self-selection exclude conservatives and diverse perspectives.

Captured by a strange mixture of deformed Christianity and reconstructed Marxism, and now a billion dollar bureaucracy unaccountable to any minister let alone their charter - they must mean to us the end of our ABC's, barring massive purging of staff and decentralisation.

The loss of a true public voice has only played into the hands of the plutocrats they claim to oppose with: regulation, redistribution, social amelioration and global government. The rise of omnicompetant state, ABC-Greenism, works hand in glove with the plutocracy.

http://www.theamericanconservative.com/tocqueville-on-the-individualist-roots-of-progressivism/

"The liberation of humanity from all partial and mediating groups and memberships finally culminates in what Tocqueville famously calls “the tutelary State”—the rise of a new form of tyranny, “democratic despotism,” particularly chilling because it comes about not through the imposition of force and violence, but at the invitation of an individuated and weak democratic citizenry. No longer able to turn to the old orders and organizations to which he might once have belonged, “he naturally turns his eyes toward the huge entity which alone stands above the universal level of abasement”—the State—amid his individuated weakness."

Silly young graduates of Australia's dark schools of journalism have a well salaried sheltered workshop in the ABC, the grubby secret of politics is that both sides benefit from a massive spruiker of central government and federal politics. The ABC is simply a ridiculous green-left church - the lie that they're disinterested public servants has been completely absorbed into hypocrisy. The ABC can't be reformed now, which is a huge public loss. Royal Commission time.

WTF Martin,

Unbelievable diatribe from you that is incoherent codswallop!

"The stewards of the ABC have trashed it's reputation. They are by large majority Greens voters, i.e. radical liberals (central government domination of all aspects of human life), and by self-selection exclude conservatives and diverse perspectives. "

Get a grip...on the board are three AOs, 1 x AC, 1 x AM and a QC. You could not get further from "The ABC is simply a ridiculous green-left church - the lie that they're disinterested public servants has been completely absorbed into hypocrisy." if you tried. Most are LNP appointments and even if you look at individual programming balance; on any episode of Q and A or Insiders there is more often than not more LNP spruikers than Green or Labor combined. Even the odious Piers Ackerman, Gerard Henderson and before he got his own gig, Andrew Bolt are regulars.

I think you need help if you seriously believe your comments.

@Peter King. The fact remains. There are no conservatives in a news or broadcast role at the ABC, none. The sop called 'Counterpoint' implies even soft moderate/conservative liberalism is somehow fringe. The people you call odious or 'regulars' represent the beliefs of millions of Australians, and are outnumbered in those programs you mention 3-8:1 by secular liberals, giving the impression to the weak minded that conservative beliefs are marginal or politcally partisan. The voting behaviour of ABC employees has been measured it is overwhelmingly Green Party. This egregious bias isn't news, a person has to want to be deceived at some level to not recognise the state of the ABC and news media.

Here are some more numbers: http://www.touchstonemag.com/archives/article.php?id=16-03-023-f

".. The numbers are mind-boggling: 43 stories on secularist Democrats, 682 stories on traditionalist Republicans. In 1992, the Times alone published nearly twice the number of stories about Evangelicals in the GOP than both papers did about secularists among the Democrats for the entire decade. The bias is even worse among television journalists, ..
.. The message was clear: Traditional religion makes people oppose abortion, vote Republican, and adopt intolerant attitudes. There was no similar connection between devout secularism and its link to pro-abortion fervor, Democratic loyalty, and anti-religious prejudice. “And thus it is not surprising,” say the authors, “that ANES survey results indicate that the more attention a person pays to the national political news media, and especially to television news, the more likely is that individual to believe that Christian [traditionalists] are ideologically extreme and politically militant.”

The ABC are in denial, if they want a platform for their elite culture war prosletysing they should do it on their own dime. At present they are a public disgrace and their hypocrisy, of historically grievous magnitude. Royal Commission time.
