Foxy,

The accusations of bias are undermining the ABC mostly because they are true. The mandate of the ABC is to be non-partisan and objective, which they routinely ignore.

Commercial stations do not require a mandate, but also produce programs to inform and entertain simply because it is what the consumers want.

My comments on SM were directed at Pauliar.

Don Watson's article was not just tongue in cheek it was a sneering polemic.

shonkyminister, are you the right knocker? BTW I haven't asked in a while; How's that imminent arrest you claimed in the beat up Bolt case going, been a few years now.

Pauliar,

Still lying through your teeth about a claim I never made I see.

How are your 2 mates, remember the 2 high-level Greens convicted for paedophilia?

Why is it that some people find it necessary to
name call and insult. That is not reasoned debate.
It's a sign of a limited vocabulary and small
mind. It needs to stop. And saying - "He does it
too," or "He did it first," is childish.

No matter what the topic, the usual ratbags end up arguing among themselves about things which have nothing to with the thread.

Now back to the topic.

Quiet frankly I really can't see Scott Morrison
leaving so soon. He's a young man, with a young
family. His salary is a very attractive one. As
are the perks that go with the job. And in the
Coalition he's already a proven winner. Mr Albanese
and Labor - don't appear to be great contendors for
the job.

My guess is that Scott Morrison will be with us for
a while yet.
