Albie Manton in Darwin,

Thank you. Your service and that of so many others is appreciated and always will be.

Regarding the in-your-face, self-promoting, egocentric narcissists who host and as special invitees grace the ABC 'public' podiums', if you would like to take a meaning from what I have already written, it is that the ABC and SBS are servicing already well-off, informationally-advantaged people. Where digital is concerned, that is practically everyone in Oz.

The ABC and SBS are long past their 'use-by' date.

Problem is that with sweet bugger all to contribute that isn't already available to most Aussies online through tablets, mobiles and desk tops and now multiple use technology, they, the overbearing 'Progressive' elite, the ABC's Dahlings, are making nuisances of themselves.

It is how non-productive (in the real world) but well educated people spend their time, apparently. Hence the now common snide sledging at Australia's institutions and so on. It is all a time- and life-wasting game. While the real digitally disadvantaged get squat and are largely ignored.

there is NO DISRESPECT to Anzacs simply by someone expressing her own views in a public forum ...

most commenting here have expressed views different to hers ..

opinions are NOT values ... nor is religion

some of you have way too much time on your hands to make such a big issue of half a dozen words posted on FB by one young Muslim woman living in Australia ...

betcha many of you hold views she wouldn't agree with too ... So ?

Foxy Quote "Her private opinions are her own and not those of the ABC"

Absolutely wrong when a person broadcasts those thought in or on a public platform, numerous people have lost jobs and been refused jobs because of various online posts.

Not to mention people have been sued for such posts.

Nobody has fought to defend Australian freedom between 1945 and quite recently when fire began to be turned on Islamic State.

EJ,

"Nobody has fought to defend Australian freedom between 1945 and quite recently when fire began to be turned on Islamic State"

Quite true, but many Australians have fought since 1945 to defend the freedoms that we enjoy.

Dear Philip S.,

Just quoting what the ABC has stated.

Her opinions are her own. And she did make
them on her own Facebook - not on the ABC.
There is a difference.
