The federal government needs to help the ABC expand its South Pacific profile and engagement now! : Comments

By Jeffrey Wall, published 25/3/2022

The ABC's once substantial presence in our immediate region was put into reverse gear when the Abbott Government in 2014 stupidly cut funding for the ABC's overseas broadcasting operations.

Long live the ABC. The only radio worth listening to.

Leaflet dropping from a B52 would be more useful and less culturally damaging.

Palm trees draped in rainbow flags doesn’t sound like a good idea.

I would consider a palm tree draped in a rainbow flag as imposing the same humiliation to native Samoans as does a rainbow projected onto the sails of the Sydney Opera house to a Christian.

Tantamount to a swastika projected onto the walls of a synagogue I would think.

I’m sure the ABC would chip away relentlessly at any opposition to the scenario, disguising their objective in news bulletins featuring the Gay Mardi Gras for months on end.

All legitimately neutral of course. Who would dare object?

Now the juvenile Chinese foreign minister or equivalent has called Australia "irresponsible" for being concerned about the threat their presence in the Solomons represents to Australia. There is no dealing in any normal way with people like that.

Appropriately, the new Chinese ambassador has been denied an audience with the PM.
