shifty&shadyminister,

Oh dear me, you are making me feel just so unloved. Woe is me.

I happened to turn past ABC last night and briefly watched a segment where they were berating Craig Kelly. It appears the ABC will not allow any other opinion other than their commentators. The claim to hold to diversity but that only applies to their opinions of diversity, not the right to intellectual difference.

The ABC is not alone in berating Kelly. His own party doesn't like what he says; there is even talk about dis-endorsement . The ABC's attitude is not surprising seeing that its aim is to rubbish all conservatives. It is more unforgiveable coming from his own side. It's one of the many reasons why I, as a conservative, will not vote for the Coalition, which has not been conservative for a long time - if it ever was. How can a party that calls itself the Liberal party be conservative? Turnbull said that the Liberal party was not conservative, and that might have been one of the few things he got right. We should remember that Menzies broke away from the conservative Nationals.

Dear Josephus,

"not the right to intellectual difference".

You are confusing diversity of intellectual views and differences in levels of intellectual acumen.

Kelly does not hold intellectual views as starkly evidenced by his quackery around COVID.

Such drivel deserves to be publicly dissected and dismissed to a level commensurate with the megaphone of the propagandist. The ABC is completely within its brief to do so. What is your complaint really about?

I thought so typical SR no views other than his allowed to be expressed. Whether it is right or not is not the Diversity we stand for to only allow one view is mind control. He can hold his views and express them publicly, but others have the right to debate the values of his views, not deny his right to speak them. SR is the typical supreme ruler of all truth and fact, that is so he thinks. We have clairvoyants telling us every day in public papers and for money our futures and no action is taken even though we do not believe them.

Learn what democracy really is instead of imposing control of ideas and thoughts.
