The ABC provides a useful megaphone for Labor’s leftist policies and conflates
criticism of bias with ‘political interference’. Well that's wrong; Ita Buttrose caused the ABC to be fined for illegally sacking a Moslem journalist who critised Israel's actions in Gaza. Quote:Clearly, the ABC’s intellectual and moral compass is broken; it sides
with Hamas while championing feminism, knowing that under Islamic law,
women suffer discrimination. And it promotes gay rights, aware that in
Palestine, the LGBTIQA+ community would be imprisoned or worse. Er - while Israel is conducting genocide in Gaza, and both Netanyahu and Hamas are wanted by the ICC, the ABC is NOT siding with Hamas, see the Lattouf case (above). And championing feminism or gay rights doesn't mean siding with Hamas or Islamic law. You try and tell Maurice Newman of the Spectator that.  Maurice Newman? He's a RW ideologue elected as chairman to the ABC who proves your 'Lefty ABC' narrative is garbage. eg (Spectator) Gone to Gough
The return of socialist Australiaby Maurice Newman https://www.spectator.com.au/2025/08/gone-to-gough/Observing the Albanese government today, many older Australians could think they have been transported back fifty years to the days of Gough Whitlam.
True, Albanese Labor is yet to seek money from the Iraqi Ba’ath Socialist party to meet mounting campaign debts or employ a shady Pakistani businessman to bypass due process and secretly borrow four billion US dollars for ‘temporary purposes’. Nevertheless, today’s ALP did court Beijing-backed property developers and senior figures in the Chinese Communist party to secure donations and lock in Chinese votes in key seats. And foreign affairs is where the sense of déjà vu is especially striking including fundamentally realigning Australia’s traditional relationships.....proving Newman is a stinking Neoclassical, anti-'socialist' ideologue; Gough, like Menzies before him, maintained sufficient public housing to ensure everyone was decently housed in Oz. But the Arab oil embargo in the 70s wrecked the post-war Keynesian 'welfare state' economy, forcing Gough to raise funds in unconventional ways. Fast forward to the present: the whole world is suffering a cost of living and housing crisis, under mainstream Neoclassical economics. Hence - lo and behold, we have a brand new socialist elected as mayor in NY (a real socialist, not a fake one like Albo): https://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1645944963/1380(Daily Mail) Mayor Zohran Mamdani moves quickly to implement socialist reforms(excerpt) Mamdani reached out to voters who backed Donald Trump in the presidential election and himself in the mayoral election, saying he understood that the rocketing cost of living was their primary concern. 'Many of these people have been betrayed by the established order. But in our administration, their needs will be met,' Mamdani said. 'Their hopes and dreams and interests will be reflected transparently in government. They will shape our future.' Mamdani met with Trump in the Oval Office in November 2025, with the Republican president full of praise for the new star of the Democrat party. Mamdani , who was born in Uganda, has promised to offer free daycare and free buses across the city. He also plans to enact a millionaire tax, with critics warning that his policies could drive out the super-rich, whose taxes fund public services in the Big Apple.See the problem: the super-rich supposedly fund public services, yet there is a cost-of-livng and housing crisis in NY - and around the world. Hence the start of the 'socialist' revival in 'the land of the brave and the free' itself. What were you saying about me needing to consult Maurice - when his very chairmanship of the ABC proves Auntie is as subject to delusional RW ideology as you.
