Now back to the topic - does anyone have an opinion
on Gerard Henderson?

Apparently he's been let go from the "Insiders" program.
Not sure why.

Interesting. Could be standard left bias at the ABC but I'll reserve judgement. Gerard Henderson will be no worse off I'm sure. But serves to remind us that we need to defund the ABC because it's gone to the commies. Remember the Guardian article that said that 50% of ABC Journos are Greens voters and 20% Labor 10% Liberal. This puts them as more extreme than the main stream media with 20:50:10 from memory.

Canem Malum stated on page 12 -
Foxy - ageist again.
No. Foxy was not referring to age, but a mentality or
existing mindset. It has nothing to do with age.
But, "ageism" or whatever you want to call it is a very
British phenomenon. You don't get it too much in
other cultures.

You are probably correct about British being more concerned about protecting their territory- due to it being an island probably- similar to Australia- it took much longer to be tyrannized by other influences due to the geographical barriers.

That doesn't make it wrong. Perhaps Foxy has a different philosophy to myself and wants to force it on me

Gerald Henderson is obviously another notch in the ABC's Leftist agenda with the "“scrupulously fair" David Speers one of the most poisonous spearheads in the ABC's arsenal !

Foxy doesn't force anything on to anybody.

She's not British you know.

She's an Aussie.

And she salutes you in the most Australian way
she knows: with the joyous cry,

"Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!"

Thanks for the extra information Individual.

I think Gerard Henderson could be Conservative/ Economic Libertarian- I tried looking at some of his articles and got blocked by paywalls- he seems to have some conservative leanings from the article briefs- but he's involved with the Sydney Institute a business- Economic Libertarian group.

Didn't our so called right wing Liberal Leader PM Scott Morrison cut the funding to the ABC because of their left wing agenda. Is this the ABC's way of doubling down- raising the ante and hitting back at ScoMo by sacking a right wing commentator- getting some of the funding back and reducing right wing influence in one blow. Not bad in terms of smart tactics but from a seeming un-wise position of weakness.

Not sure what the cycle of ABC funding is- maybe they are hoping that ScoMo will be out before the next funding round. In the meantime they can work with other institutions to destroy them before the election.

Fascinating. See if it works out in favour of the ABC. And we thought all or nothing plays only happen in the movies.

I can only repeat- defund the ABC.

I hope that this will encourage many Australian's to turn their ears in Gerald Henderson's direction.

Then the ABC will lose twice for their lack of contrition
