Well, obviously you'd say that, JKJ. After all, the ABC produces reports of fact and there is nothing worse than that for people like yourself who think that bluster and bluff is the epitome of argument.

Cue the rest of the LEGO/JKJ/ttbn sockpuppet clone army...

Rabbott hasnt got the guts to appear on the ABC.
Without a script and a supportive interviewer he just ums and aghs and looks like the complete fool he is. Every ABC journalist is more than a match for an intellectual featherweight like rabbott. No wonder he only talks to the parrot or bolty et al.
Nothing but a bullying coward.
ELECTION NOW!

Hi there MIKK...

Could you put it any more elucidatory perhaps ?

What's the problem with you 'knockers' of the ABC?
Do you watch its TV presentations in the hope that they will support your conservative bias?
The ABC is not left or right - it's very central, and those who guide its creative output often come from other politically rigid media operations where their freedom to report fully was limited; they appreciate the need for impartial and unbiased reportage.
Naturally, such a mammoth public media outlet cannot please all the audiences consistently, but 'pleasing' does not equate with 'suppression' of contentious viewpoints.
An oaf, a dork, a fool, will be seen as that because of body language, dress, appearance and attitude.
The ABC's audiences are not dumbed-down receptors of whatever party line is being pushed by those who want their own ineptitudes to stay hidden.
After all, it's our ABC - we pay for it and we support it, otherwisse it would have been wrapped up long ago.

Keep your grubby hands off its impartiality!

oh but I do fund the the ABC JKJ through my taxes, just like i fund schools, and roads and hospitals. A independent media that is free from having to grovel to advertises is clearly needed in any Country.

Commercial media descends into shock Jock's and opinions pieces to get the readers eye, a bit like people stopping to watch a car crash. fact free and controversial.

The project has tried hard but they have had to go in for celebrity to keep the axe at bay.

Just because you know someone even more right wing then you JKJ doesn't make you a centrist.

I just don't agree with censorship whether it's done by soup or sushi. me I'll continue to watch what I like and speak my piece!

That said I agree with the minister and would pass the hat around in order to get the Islamist malcontent on his way!
Rhrosty.
