So what you are saying ( individual) is that despite a right wing board, the leftwing staff do whatever the feck they want!

Made my wet Sunday mate! Cheers

Dear Alison Jane,

Let's try and get your poor addled brain around the issue.

You will remember the question was “Do elites rule at the ABC?”. The 'rulers' of any corporation are the board. They employ of sack the CEO. They set the direction of the organisation and the Chair has enormous power.

In the case of the ABC many have been either right wing political hacks or right wing agitators like Windshuttle. What he was suppose to bring to the table who knows.

So the question is do these right wing elites rule the ABC? Of course they do, just like in any other corporation.

My favourite political commentator right now has repeatedly called out the ABC for rightwing bias. He makes the point that the Liberals really don't want to privatise the ABC because they control it. He has a point.

Although to be fair he also calls out the elitism as well.

Alison Jane,
Standard Public Service mentality conduct !

Oh my oh my master Steel rednuts, your so firm and impressive, what can I say.....your intellect is so very, very, very..... small!
Hippo weekend and stop pulling the wings of little winged insects.

Yupp! Individual... and they get $500k-$1000k pa plus Gongs and Boardships on retirement.

I wonder what the cries of Labor would have sounded like if the Coalition had gone about buying votes as Labor did ?
And, please don't deny that creating thousands more Public Service positions for guaranteed voter support isn't vote buying !
