The article you were refering to in your post,duh.
Obviously this conversation is going nowhere.
What article are you referring to?
.
In a surprise move - and an attempt to tackle head on charges of excessive secrecy - Mr Morrison will appear at a Labor/Greens-dominated Senate inquiry in Canberra today to defend the government's Operation Sovereign Borders policy.
Immigration Minister Scott Morrison will appear before a Senate inquiry on Friday, as he continues to defend the federal government's approach towards asylum seeker boats.
In three interviews and a doorstop on Friday morning, Mr Morrison confirmed that he would attend the Senate hearing that will scrutinise the government's claim that it does not have to provide regular updates to the Senate about Operation Sovereign Borders.
Mr Morrison is due to appear before the Senate committee after 1pm on Friday, along with top military officers and government officials.
He said he was appearing of his own initiative because he wanted to ''stand beside'' those implementing the government's border protection regime.
Mr Morrison is set to face a grilling today from Labor and Greens senators when he fronts a Senate inquiry into the Federal Government's refusal to release key documents about border protection.
The committee requested to speak to government representatives along with officials from Defence, Immigration and Customs.
You can call me cynical, however Ifind it strange that the ABC wait untill Labor are out of office before releasing stories on union corruption.
I'm asking for any article, anywhere, by anyone at all which demonstrates that the ABC has sat on this union corruption stuff whilst Labor was in power.
The article you were refering to in your post,duh.

New details have emerged about asylum seeker claims that Australian sailors mistreated them during a boat interception operation earlier this month.
New details have emerged about a boat interception operation earlier this month, with one asylum seeker saying Navy personnel sprayed him in the eyes.
(My bolds above) I asked how you knew the ABC had sat on the story, broadcast on "7.30" on two nights this week, whilst Labor were in power, because I've heard no suggestion anywhere that the ABC and Fairfax have not just completed this investigation.
Hopefully the above will clarify what I was asking.
If you go back to your original post on the subject, on the previous page, which was what originally aroused my interest, you provided a link to the ABC. I've just tried this again and it works without any problem.As I said i tried to look up the article to re read it but couldn't find it on the ABC, website, which in itself, I find strange.
OK. Fine.I stand corrected if there wasn't any date reference.
It's our ABC, so hands off, Tony Abbott and Malcolm Turnbull
The federal government has picked a fight with the national broadcaster.
It was September 2009 when Maurice Newman, then the ABC chairman, paid a courtesy visit to the national broadcaster's Tokyo bureau. Mark Willacy, the bureau's award-winning correspondent, and his three Japanese staff put on the kettle and sat down for a cuppa with Newman and Bruce Dover, chief executive of the Australia Network, the ABC's Asia-Pacific service.
Willacy refuses to comment on this episode in his distinguished career, but what happened next became hot news in the ABC. This version comes from several sources.
They say Newman proceeded to lecture the bureau about the number of negative stories it was running. He mentioned the focus on Japanese whaling stories. They weren't helping the Australia-Japan relationship. There were more positive stories to be told. There were good-news business stories.
The meeting left the staff gobsmacked. But they had already accepted the invitation to join Newman for dinner that night. When the bill came, however, Newman and Dover were in the bathroom, so the ABC's Tokyo office picked up the tab.
Many in the ABC were alarmed by Newman's intervention and saw it as an attack on the ABC's editorial independence.
As the ABC comes under government scrutiny, staff have been warned not to ''embellish'' or add ''any flourish'' to asylum seekers' claims they have been mistreated by border protection forces.
Head of ABC news content Gaven Morris sent the directive to the organisation's top brass on Friday morning, less than 24 hours after the government announced it would conduct an ''efficiency study'' into the ABC's operations.
If you have any issue with the ABC and consider there is a breach of their code of conduct under Australian Broadcasting Corporation Act 1983, nothing will be resolved on this thread.

The ABC has been moving left and been infiltrated by leftists and Marxists since the 1970's. They just call themselves Greens now.
The links you give, have been used on numerous occasions to make complaints, without any meaningful result.
It is a complete waste of time to "Complain to Caesar, about what Caesar does"
Anyone who uses the complaint process either needs their head read, or has too little to do with too much time on their hands.
gg
Their complaints process is an absolute joke. You can send them verbatim examples of the most egregious bias and they will find a way to justify it.If you have any issue with the ABC and consider there is a breach of their code of conduct under Australian Broadcasting Corporation Act 1983, nothing will be resolved on this thread.
