ABC is Political

Jump to new
News Radio seemed to trust implicitly in Short'uns integrity today.

It reminds of the curious incident of the dog in the night-time

The story is now about Abbott and his intimidation and attacks of the ABC, swinging voters will just love that looking forward to the next poll numbers.

The LNP Ministers don't need to give the Green/Labor socialists any oxygen.......They a full of hot air already.

Anyway, lets wait and see if the ABC put on a true impartial face.

Yes, I think you have that correct. Abbott may appeal to the hard Right, but most voters are centre or slightly Left and so Abbott's Party room appeal will most likely not translate to electoral support.

I can just see Malcolm mounting a challenge to the leadership of the government based on the principle that Tony Abbott won't let him play with the ABC.:rolleyes:

I made up my mind a few years back that Malcolm was a neuter Tom. He just allowed Tony to take what residue of self esteem he had.

Of course he invented the internet didn't he, by owning shares in a ISP dotcom company that somebody else developed.

hang on a sec. Wasn't Turnbull creating the internet in Australia the main reason he was made comms minister and Abbott trumpeted it as meaning he was eminently qualified to rollout out their full costed ready to go end of 2016 everyone would be getting a minimum 25Mbs internet access?

Oh wait, I see you point now with his lack of actual telecoms industry experience.

Yes, trouble is what experience have all the other Ministers had in their portfolios ? I suppose at least Turnbull's analytical lawyers brain might help him discern fact from fiction. I have less confidence in most of the other Ministers.

As I recall Paul Keating had a toe in the phone over internet concept. So I'm guessing he should be forever known as the father of phone and voip systems.

Yes for knobs like me that were designing and overseeing the install of network fibre pipes back in the mid eighties, it's a bit aggravating to see how little we have progressed in 30 years. There were so many armchair experts back then who read it in some acronym filled PC magazine, and Malcolm was probably one of them.
 
Rather worrying EPG for ABC2 ... well worrying for prudes like me, but obviously not for one or two here who think children should be exposed to many kinds of adult behaviours :rolleyes:

This Tony Jones and the ABC are lower than a rattle snakes belly.

To bring a brain washed and well rehearsed 10 year old child on QandA to criticize the Prime Minister of this country is as low as they can get.

What will he have on next week? An orangutan monkey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Jones has enough monkeys in the audience already ...What a d^ck head.

I did not watch it....

A public backhand was served to the Prime Minister on Q&A when panellists were asked by a 10-year-old boy about Tony Abbott’s recent “attacks” and attempts to “control” the ABC and Q&A.

“I know I’m only 10, but Tony Abbott scares me when he attacks the ABC and tries to control what we see on it. Should we all be afraid of his attacks on Q&A and ABC, both things I love?” 10-year-old Ashton Platt, from Highbury in South Australia, asked the panel through a prerecorded video.

Did not watch it either but that's below the belt if the ABC used a 10 year old for political gain. I highly doubt a 10 year old would actually care at all about Q&A, if so then I fear for this child's ability to individually think for himself as clearly his parents are pulling the strings.
