If you don't like what you see turn it off. The ABC certainly knows how to draw a crowd.
Boycotting anything as our polititions should not happen, just another of Abbott's secrets for the moment. We are in a cloud of secrets and lies and all in the name of Australian politics, never before has this ever happened. Never before have we had such an entertaining leader.

otb,

Let's cut to the chase.

The ABC review is politically motivated.

Abbott's politically partisan spitting and hissing, backed up by all the radical right-wing nutbags in govt, may as well be advertised in neon.

The likes of Greg Sheridan and Ray Martin are merely articulating what most people think of Abbott's hysterical behaviour. Stunt after stunt after stunt abounds - the ABC review and subsequent boycott is but an extension of Tony's agenda - an agenda which contains little of substance and is propelled by his wanna-be despot ideas of flags and uniforms.

(Apparently Federal govt members have been allocated $10,000 for flags this financial year - http://www.dailymercury.com.au/news/federal-member-not-flagging-on-symbols/2698944/ )

This really has gone far enough...don't you think?

I mean if Abbott and his more right-wing henchmen are the best the Coalition can stump up - we're in big trouble.

Off you go.....go and find us someone with substance and honour - a little statesmanship and honesty wouldn't go astray either.

Give us a conservative we can look up to. I'd be willing to give he/she a go.

otb,

I agree that a reviewer should at least be
perceived to be impartial and definitely
keep his personal opinions to himself.

However, as Greg Sheridan pointed out -
who of us doesn't make mistakes? And therefore
Mr Abbott as our Prime Minister is over-reaching
in his reactions to the ABC. As our leader and a
statesman - he should lead by example. The current
example is not a good one.

I, like Poirot, would also like a leader with
some fairness, leadership qualities, and statesmanship,
and with a vision for our future. Someone who would
indeed govern for all Australians.

Know of anyone?

Foxy, I think you will find that there are two inquiries.
The ABC inquiry, which Poirot pretends is a government inquiry and the ACMA inquiry,
which I imagine is the more important inquiry as they
enquire into breaches of the law, broadcasting regulations etc.
They have the power to prosecute and penalties can be very high as well as gaol sentences up to 10 years.

This whole thing is a deliberate Abbott beatup and I am surprised that you would take part in it.

when the regressives are upset you can be sure that Abbott is doing something right. Hopefully they will also save the tax payer wasted money by not attending the upcoming gw religion meetings. Numerous Labour ministers have refused to appear on the Bolt show. Something the regressives deliberately ignore. More abbottphobia.

Who is Bolt. Abbott doing something right, now that is really worth waiting for, do you really believe it will ever happen.
It would be a refreshing change for him to deal with 'Bills' already in front of him.
The ABc is well and truly up to date with what is apropiate and what is not to be aired, like all the legals they go through because they have items of interest to Australians, that someone does not like aired.;
