Are you thick?

Kindly show me where I am attacking white Australians?

Goodness me. What's wrong with you.

I was merely responding to Paul's post historically
illustrating how times have changed and the ways in
which they have with various historical illustrations.
Now I can't be responsible for your comprehension
skills - but the historical facts are there in any
text of this country's social history

Current trials underway in England are as good a reason as ever existed to keep Liberal hands off the ABC.
No doubt the Liberals biggest fund giver and election manager, Murdock the son of a Blow fly will not be prosecuted.
But should he get his wish, ABC s head this country will fade to black on the news front.

Foxy,

Whereas you allege racism and other epithets if your favoured ethnics are criticised, even mildly and with good evidence, you are always on the front foot to lay into Aussies, especially of the 'white' variety. Doubtless others have given you similar feedback before so your feigned shock is a bit rich.

Here is you getting into your stride on your favourite theme:

As I said, BTT.

otb,

I do not accept for one minute your slanderous
accusations. You seem to have a serious problem
with Australian social history. The information that
I cited on page nine to which you refer, was gleaned
from an Australian social history text. Those were
the facts of that period and they should be viewed
in that context. This is not an attack on white
Australians in any shape or form. It's simply history.
And it was given simply to illustrate that times have
changed as you yourself acknowledged on the same page
referring to changes in travel and communication,
including public access to the internet.

Your continued attempts to attack my fundamental traits and
character says more about you than it does about me.
You should really try to maintain a higher standard of
intellectual discussion.
If you can. Or expect to be ignored if you can't.

Foxy, I don't know why you continue to engage with OTB, when he is at his most obnoxious!
He is obviously not an ABC viewer, as this would involve intelligent thinking : )

Foxy,

It is interesting that you cherry-pick some 'social history' as a diversion that is irrelevant to the thread.

Returning to the thread, the ABC and the SBS are anachronisms in a society where access to the Net is widespread and brings a plethora of sources, including major newspapers and culture from around the world. As well, there has been a huge expansion in community television - where it it can be argued that the existence of the publicly funded national broadcasters has an inhibiting effect.

The world has changed enormously in the last decade. If either the ABC or SBS were proposed now it is now every difficult to imagine that they could make a case for their large dips into the federal budget. They duplicate each other and are anachronisms in modern Australia.

Australia needs improvement in rail, water supply and a host of other priorities that should be put before the sentiment and elitism that supports the ABC and SBS.
