Abdel-Magied hasn't impressed everyone,

"Muslim sheikh says ABC should sack Yassmin Abdel-Magied after 'disrespectful' Anzac Day remarks"

In the video report it was said that it is 'a tactic of the left to demand resignations where the left is offended' (or more often, faux offended). What usually happens in mainstream society is that she is found to be a fool and disregarded accordingly.

Yassmin Abdel-Magied is an egocentric, attention-seeking fool, forget her, seems to be the conclusion.

She is a self-made caricature of the cultural stereotype of the activist, attention-seeking Muslim woman, or activist woman 'whatever'. They always over-dress, over-act and over-egg the part. How many posing in-your-face, motor-mouth feminist activists has OLO seen off over the years. That is life, everything is transitory. And thankfully so are they.

The ABC seems to have an array of cultural stereotypical 'persons'(sic), one for every occasion.

I wish the old Aunty would come back, but alas that will never be possible.

The link is self-explanatory.

OVER 1 BILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS = "ABC has demonstrated its ability to galvanise audiences around major national events such as Crowded House Live at Sydney Opera House (1.5 million reach on broadcast, 10,000 live-streams on ABC iview), the Australian Election (TV coverage across the day reached 5.9 million viewers and a record 7.1% prime-time share for ABC News 24) and the New Year’s Eve Fireworks (3.6 million reach on ABC, 66,000 on ABC iview, 10 million+ on social platforms."

If I was a shareholder or CEO I would not be impressed by that. (regrettably as taxpayers we are shareholders)

5.9 million viewers if that is the best you can do for a event that happens every 4 years epic fail, How about showing us impressive figures for shows people actually want to watch that you have NONE that's why the give those statistics

As a taxpayer I want my money back.

I must stick up for the ABC, they do provide some very good shows,
moreover shows that are not riddled with adds.

"Eggheads" for one.

Is Mise - If taxpayers had to support the other channels to the tune of 1 Billion dollars you would probably get no add there.
