Probably correct Julia as I rarely listen in to radio or watch TV.
And I do need to mind my own business a bit more on some of the threads.
Presumably this is part of the ABC Local Radio network? This network seems content to leave focus and content pretty much to individual presenters/producers, unlike Radio National which would suit you much better Explod with its incessant and determined left bias.
You should listen to Country ABC from Bendigo, it is so biased right wing that it keeps hitting the truth wall.
And on the global hysteria it leaves wayneL for dead.
Whilst I am as irritated as most here with the ABC's political bias, I'd be sorry if an incoming Liberal government slashed their funding too much.
They have some wonderful and thoughtful programs on Radio National on literature, music, medical and psychological innovation plus many panel discussions and interviews on an extraordinarily wide range of topics
For those of us living in regional areas it can be an oasis in a cultural desert.
.These days it is the green movement and the apocalyptic anxiety about man-made global warming that have become the cults du jour, "the opiate of the masses". However, Australians are generally rather pragmatic and, as the climate has failed to conform to most of the doomsayers' computer modelling, popular support for measures supposed to combat global warming has waned.
This presents problems for those journalists and public intellectuals who embraced the cause uncritically in the early days, and haven't seen the need to express any reservations
"as the climate has failed to conform to most of the doomsayers' computer modelling"
Did they indicate where that derived that conclusion from?
That derived that conclusion from daily sticking that's head out that's window and observing.

"as the climate has failed to conform to most of the doomsayers' computer modelling"
Did they indicate where they derived that assertion from? Serious question as I have not seen an analysis of climate modelling that substantiates that assertion and I would like to review where they derived that from.

You should direct your "serious question" to "they" whoever "they" are.This is the paragraph in the article;

If you really want to know, try Google.
Really well said, Julia.Whilst I am as irritated as most here with the ABC's political bias, I'd be sorry if an incoming Liberal government slashed their funding too much.

By the way, does anyone remember this study of the political bias of the Australian media by E S of A?

Nope!That was a great read. Thanks!
Are you aware of any similar analysis as tables 4 and 5 for TV and radio?
We love to sink the slipper when the political commissars get wound up on Radio National.
However in this case, credit where it's due - ABC Local Radio have been outstanding during the NSW fire emergency, providing a great community information service.
Well done ABC Local Radio. Keep at it guys and gals, because the hot weather is coming back.
It got to 41C here yesterday, I wanted to stab myself. But phew, a southerly came in, thank goodness.

ABC Local Radio are excellent.
We do not consider them "proper" leftie ABC millionaires, like the Radio National ones , in Queensland.
Great coverage from all the Radio National crew kept us going over those days and nights of Cyclone Yasi.
It is a shame they are drowned out by the Commissars.
