Shadowminister,

You underestimate the average Australian.

Even many conservatives believe that the ABC's funding
should not be reduced. You are in the minority.

We've seen that Australians support same-sex marriage
( as evidenced by the postal survey), more funding for
the ABC and reform of electoral donations, along with
many other "progressive" issues. The average Australian
is much more progressive than their political
representatives.

Thanks to compulsory voting, the views of people are
plain to see.

People such as yourself and other minorities are the
"friends of the ABC" greatest recruiters. Every time
you attack the ABC - people ring up and say-
"Where can we send you money?"

Keep up the good work!

A bit of some light humour.

No matter how old you get - I bet you still
mentally sing ABC to see which letter comes next!

Foxy,

According to you I, as a far right-wing conservative have actively supported same-sex marriage and voted for it. Notably, it was passed into law under a coalition government after Juliar actively opposed it.

Notably, 80% of voters actively supported the pacific solution, and the boats crisis and carbon tax brought down both Krudd and Juliar. And the silent and not so progressive majority abandoned the high taxing and spending Shorten just 2 years ago.

Shadowminister,

Go back and read what I actually wrote.

Shadowminister,

You ejaculate: “The vast majority of ABC viewers reside within 5km of the CBDs of the main cities with little to no diversity.”

Rubbish yet agian.

“ABC’s average weekly metropolitan reach in 2018-19 was 5.6 million people or 32.2% of the five-city metropolitan population.”

“ABC’s average weekly regional reach in 2018-19 was 2.6 million people or 35.7% of the regional population.”

Yup that is right, the percentage is higher in the regional areas. You know one day you might just fact check before you inflict your petty little drivel on the rest of us. This really is getting tiring. We are suppose to be in a post Trump era where facts are starting to matter again. You mate are dragging the bloody chain.

Yet another grovelling apology from the ABC for fraudulently misrepresenting a dance group performance.

"An ABC story on Wednesday reported government MPs were shocked that the dance was allowed at a ship commissioning with the Governor-General in attendance, but it has since been revealed the dance was before the official ceremony and General Hurley never witnessed the performance.

The ABC has apologised to General Hurley and Chief of Navy Michael Noonan for editing intersecting images of the dancing with pictures of them both in the audience — making it look like they were watching — but has yet to apologise to the dancers.

101 Doll Squadron leader Maya Sheridan, in a letter to the ABC, said the public broadcaster should acknowledge her troupe’s trauma and accused the public broadcaster of using specifically sexualised images of the troupe, which she said demeaned her colleagues. “We are very upset at the attention you have brought to the 101 Doll Squadron. We’ve been persecuted non-stop and all experiencing anxiety and distress,” Ms Sheridan’s letter states."
