London to a brick, huh Lego? You've badly miscalculated there, for my degree is in civil engineering. The reason I know how to solve many (though not all) of the world's problems is because I can see many options that those in power fail even to consider. I'm not a republican (nor an ardent monarchist, but I did vote NO in the referendum). I don't put the interests of foreigners above those of Australians, but rather than advocating persecuting and ripping off foreigners, I look for solutions where Australians and foreigners can all benefit.

Thanks for finally admitting you don't even watch ABC programs so are relying on second hand information to support your claim that the ABC is biased. Now those reading this have absolute proof that it's you whose opinion is down to groupthink. You try to belittle my opinion, as if it was like saying the Earth is flat. But guess what? There's EVIDENCE the Earth is round, whereas the very widespread perception of ABC bias is one of the Howard government's most enduring myths. It was arguably true when they started it, but certainly false when they propagated it and it's been false ever since.

In real life there are many things thought to be true that later turn out to be false. For example, twenty years ago everyone thought too much aluminium caused Alzheimer's disease. We now know for sure that it doesn't.

Drop your groupthink and forget your silly stereotypes! Start looking at the evidence and thinking!

Most Australians are post racial and pro multiculturalism. But it has had a few failures, mostly in western Sydney. So I expect I'd disagree with the majority of bogans there on that issue, but I'm not going to try to second guess their opinions on other issues.

BTW Shaun Micallef congratulated the PM earlier this year, but I don't remember whether he's been congratulated since then. I'm sure the ABC would congratulate him more if he let them interview him more and if he achieved more.

ozbibb’s fatuous question“ how on earth was the ABC to know about Mallah's tweets “
During the research they did to ascertain that he was the insolent, arrogant, intellectually challenged terrorist supporter suitable to their purpose, it would have been obvious.
James O”Neill mimics the ABC nonsense that it doesn’t know what “left” means, and that its output is “centre” and not “left”. The ABC is lying.
It pretends that it is unaware that it supports homosexual marriage, climate fraud, despite almost 19 year of no global warming, opening of our borders to illegal immigrants, and any other anti-Australian left wing cause on offer, by refusing to give the conservatives any opportunity to present balanced, sensible commentary on the topic.
Mark Scott refuses to comply with the requirements of his employment and should be immediately terminated as the first step in reforming this mess.

Aiden, there is evidence that the earth is spherical.There is no evidence that it is flat, since the old fellow who used to sit up in Macquarie Street,with the easel and sketches on butchers paper illustrating why the earth is flat, is no longer around.

You saw no evidence, Aiden, that muslims treat reasonableness as a weakness. Have you managed to remain unaware that Sharouf lived on a disability pension in Sydney, which continued to be paid when he went to Syria on his brother’s passport, to join ISIS. You may also be unaware that there were organised groups who staged car accidents, upon which muslim “passengers” would pile into the vehicle not at fault, so that the could pursue a claim for compensation, for their “injuries”, on which they had to fool the doctor who supplied the report, if a middle eastern doctor was not available to give a false report. This just scratches the surface. There is plenty more, if you are willing to relinquish your ignorance.

What a clown you are, Aiden. Micaileff congratulated Abbott for winning out over Turnbull, on the basis that his show was better with Abbott as winner, as Turnbull was too reasonable to make a good basis for the show.
The addled left wing thinking of the ABC gaggle would prevent any perception that Abbott should be congratulated. He would only earn their congratulations if he did something despicable and left wing. Turnbull’s initial despicable and disloyal support of the carbon tax earned the approval of the ABC, for which Turnbull should be thoroughly ashamed. Any decent person would hope that he never did anything to warrant the approval of the ABC

To Aiden.

I know that you have never thought about it, but if you ever got yourself in a dark corner with no distractions, you would pretty soon figure out that human beings think using stereotypes. Human beings link stereotypes to create concepts. If I was to say to you that there is a "bird" sitting on a "car", you would link your personnel stereotypical image of a "bird" sitting on your stereotype of a "car" to paint a picture in your mind.

Your stereotype need not be completely accurate, only accurate enough to form a concept. But I understand how trendy lefties think. Somebody in your peer group told you that it is wrong to stereotype, and you unthinkingly accepted it. Because the person who said it sounded like they were intelligent, and you identify with people like that.

Saying that people should not stereotype because their stereotype might be wrong, is exactly like saying that people should not think because their thinking might be wrong.

You ticked two boxes for a stereotypical trendy lefty. If you are not an Artz grad then that hardly makes you less a trendy lefty than an flightless emu is no less a "bird." And if you don't believe in a republic, then with most groups, a certain amount of deviance is permitted while still maintaining identity. But trendy lefties as a group tend to be unforgiving of candidates who reject any doctrines of the Holy Orthodoxy. So I would not spread it around among your peer group that you are a republican heretic. You might be shunned for conduct unbecoming a trendy lefty.

I have probably watched three times as much ABC in my life as you have. But several years ago I just gave up. I got sick and tired of the ABC going on and on about "refugees", and David Hicks, and "refugees" and Mamdouth Habib, and "refugees" and Cornelia Rau, and "refugees" and Mark Latham is the new Messiah, and refugees and the monstrous, so called "stolen generations" lie.

Leo Lane, Micaileff congratulated Abbott several times since then.

Regarding Mallah's tweets, why should it be obvious? It was two tweets among thousands.

Unfortunately the consensus for gay marriage is across all media, not just the ABC.

The ABC does not support climate fraud. But your claim that there's been "almost 19 year of no global warming" makes it clear that you do. We know from satellite measurements that our planet is absorbing electromagnetic radiation faster than it emitting it.

I've yet to see any evidence the ABC wants open borders, but there's rightly a lot of criticism of the savage way we're currently treating asylum seekers.

And when has the ABC ever refused to give the conservatives any opportunity to present balanced, sensible commentary on any topic?

BTW I'm well aware there's evidence that the earth is spherical - in fact in the comment you were replying to, I informed LEGO of that fact.
