Dear runner,

"In a ranking of 18 major western countries,
Australia came in eighth lowest for per
capita funding of public broadcasting. The
ABC’s per capita funding is 34% lower than
the average of other public broadcasters,
including the BBC. Norway, Switzerland
and Germany each provide per capita
funding to their public broadcasters at least
150% more than Australia"

And

"In real terms, ABC operational revenue from
government has fallen by 28% between
1985-6 and 2017-18 (from $1.2 billion to
$865 million).4

In 1987, the ABC cost each Australian eight
cents a day; in 1987 dollar terms it is now
4c a day – per capita funding has halved
over 30 years."

Both parties fund and support the ABC. So why is it that this is a 'socialist' Labour policy?

Why don't you try again. Name one policy the Labour party took to this election which you deem socialist.

Steelie

Your denials don't change facts. The abc is full of Marxist/feminist dogma and commentators.

SteeleRedux,
Of course the BBC costs more because of the higher integrity in reporting !

"Socialism lost.
Identity politics lost.
Political Correctness lost."

All true, but also lost are the captives on Nauru, which Australian pirates cruelly hijacked on the high seas so many years ago and still refuse to release, even into the hands of a kind country that is happy to accept them.

Many experience relief, but they only experience the darkest despair.

Vengeance has won.

Business applauds the win by the sensible centre:

"Scott Morrison’s stunning election win delivered a $33 billion sharemarket surge, marking the second biggest post-poll jump in three decades as investors bet on a property market recovery, a stronger business environment and resurgent household spending spurred by tax cuts.

Banks and health insurers led a relief rally, now that Bill Shorten’s big-spending agenda, including a tougher regulatory environment for banks and a clampdown on negative gearing, has been binned.

Economists and business leaders are expecting an economic stimulus to be unleashed by the Prime Minister’s tax cuts which, when paired with the likelihood of two imminent Reserve Bank interest rate cuts, will reignite household spending after growth slowed over the second half of last year."

Well it has always been my view [one I hid here] that Bill carried the blame for Rudd and Gillard
Too that we needed to define ourselves and try winning greens back, not supporting them
Too ALBO has no ones blood on his hands
He is a blokey man with a good feeling for the average person, he should rule
But the party machine may ,still, be blind to what voters want
