Not surprising, and really only worth my in-passing comment in the Holocaust thread. There is a life outside OLO, where people quietly make up their minds about things without feeling the need to nag other people about it. Pro ABCers are always going to disagree with anti ABCers. Get over it.

On Prince Philip, there will be a lot of sanctimonious claptrap from people who liked to rubbish him and his family while he lived. The most insincere and amateurish crap came from the Governor General, whose politically inspired 'white privilege walk' for his staff would have raised a caustic remark from the Duke if he was aware of the idiocy.

The ABC provides some excellent programs and I, for one, would hate to see them disrupted by adverts as on other channels.

Foxy,

Why on earth are you quoting numbers from 24 years ago? If the viewers paid for the ABC it would be $1bn / 220 000 = $4500 p.a. each.

I've watched Q&A a few times, and most times there are a panel and audience stacked with left whinge nodding heads, intellectually lightweight guests and topics that are primarily left whinge interest, and perhaps one conservative panellist. The main feeling engendered by this tripe is boredom. The sole exception to this was the episode with Jordan Peterson, but even then it was largely a damp squib.

People don't watch the ABC so much because it lacks diversity and keeps regurgitating the same ideological drivel.

The ABC has passed its use-by date and should be dismantled and sold.
