Yes. That's certainly right. She often says it when she's being done like a dinner (that's very often); but it's just a matter of time before she's banging on about the topic again.

Baz,

Right on about the ABC. The reporters should have been sacked for what their employer called a “error”. They should also be personally responsible for the $400,000 compensation that taxpayers have to pick up because the ABC is a public service, not an independent, commercial self-funding business like the other networks who have to be a lot more careful about what they say and do than the scandalous ABC does.

I hope that one day we get a government with the courage to drag the ABC's snout out of the trough for ever. The ABC and the people who work in it are bad.

We have 2.6 million shouts in the trough collecting aged welfare, several on this forum, probably pissed it away in their working life, or as one admitted, he hadn't worked since 1972! ttbn what's your excuse?

Your well-known hatred for people not as rich as you say you are has nothing to with ABC "shouts" in the trough. Shouts? Not snouts? You certainly didn't get your massive superannuation for being literate.

What did you do a job that made you wealthy? Your son is a bus driver. Kids are usually better off than their parents, so your not needing a pension is probably as much bullsh.t as the rest of you.

The 300 women claiming misogyny and discrimination by the Greens is on the agenda again today, by the way. Even Albanese thinks the people you mix with are rubbish.

As George Orwell wrote, “to make sure that all written records agree with the orthodoxy of the moment is merely a mechanical act”. That's what Albanese wants to do with his rotten Bill. The bureaucrats are going to restrict/stop freedom of speech by the ‘mechanical act’ of legislation.

The thing is 70 pages long, and complex. Will anyone have the time, energy, and money to fight this monster if it passes? ACMA has as much of our money it needs to apply the screws of tyranny.

Faceless bureaucrats making arbitrary judgements.

Albanese is making a brazen attempt to destroy democracy in Australia.

Hmmm, we may need to setup an encrypted web site.
The problem is to let us all know where it is.
I am pretty sure such software is already available.
There are ways to do it so that by the time it is broken we will all be dead anyway.

If the Bill is passed, bang goes the ability to verbalise our feelings and opinions. We have seen what happens in countries that don't have freedom of speech to release frustrations: death instead of discussion
