I find gerrard a fairly sensible "straight - shooter".
Some of those lefties on the ABC are in permanent "dick" mode.
If they get rid of the more sensible people like gerrard, they will be left with a total leftard echo chamber. Then the only people that tune in will be leftards who don't like their ideology challenged and the leftards will all live in blissful ignorance.
of course , if leftards had a brain, they would be out talking to the millions of red neck, beer drinking, aussie flag loving "bogans" in the suburbs. They would be trying to understand this enormous demographic which determines elections.
This, of course, will never happen.
Through intellectual laziness, the leftards will stay right where they are, preaching to the choir and ignoring the vast mass of public opinion.
Thankfully once every 4 years , they get a rude awakening , when they discover 2/3 of the electorate think their ideology is a pile of horse shyte

NSW Opposition Leader John Robertson is under increasing pressure to resign after admitting he failed to tell police, parliament and the state's Independent Commission Against Corruption about a criminal's attempt to bribe him when he was leader of Unions NSW.
Mr Robertson revealed last week that in 2007 the Sydney standover man Michael McGurk - who was later murdered - offered him a bribe of $3 million to sell the Unions NSW holiday property Currawong, north of Sydney, to him for $30m.
However, Mr Robertson's failure to inform anyone, including the police, of the incident until last week has seriously compromised his position as party leader at a time when NSW Labor is trying to distance itself from the stain of the ICAC's recent corruption findings against senior Labor figures in NSW.
Mr Robertson yesterday failed to answer why he did not alert anyone to the attempted bribe, merely restating that he "shut down" the offer of a business deal that ultimately never went ahead. "I've acted at all times with the utmost of integrity," he said he sure did McGurk was still allowed to tender..

The New South Wales Government is moving to set up a parliamentary inquiry into a bribe offered to Opposition Leader John Robertson by murdered businessman Michael McGurk.
