Dear Joe,

Great suggestions and well worth a try.

Anything can be improved with fresh new ideas under
fair-minded, objective,experienced leadership.
However, as we all
know with cut backs in funding changes are not always
easy to implement. And especially when the cut backs

"And Hitchens’ disdain for the host was in itself a pleasure to see, which really came out when he asked why he alone from amongst all the guests was being interrupted in the middle of his point. And he would not let go and made the point over again even while being interrupted"

Q&A does need more spontaneity. The Twitter diehards might

Just another example of the ABC's leftist (NOT Left) 'Progressive' editorial policy. - Not the published editorial policy and ethics, but the informal versions that apply through behaviour and really must be getting the approving nod from 'upstairs' somewhere.

Twitter? That is funny.

Sometimes humour is the only appropriate reaction
due to the absurdities raised by some people.

"The ABC has taken every opportunity to normalise anal sex and other risky sexual practices"

It is amazing what the perverted mind can think up! I wounder what else lurks in the dark recesses of that degenerate space.
