The ABC and the vile attack on Gina Rinehart
Jul 30th, 2026 at 11:57am
 
Wow!

I've only just caught up with this story.

How can "Our ABC" get away with such a vile piece of TV?

No apology?  Shocked

Only after a week of external pressure are they finally referring it to their internal "ombudsman"?

Where is the outrage over attacks on women?

Where is the minister for telecommunications?

You'd have to ask, wouldn't you!!   Angry

The ABC should be defunded.  It's an absolute disgrace what they get away with.

The only program I watch these days is Four Corners.

https://www.news.com.au/finance/business/media/controversial-segment-on-abc-depi...

“ A controversial segment on the ABC that depicted violence against billionaire Gina Rinehart has been referred to the Ombudsman by the broadcaster.

Communications Minister Anika Wells finally conceded on Wednesday that it was unacceptable.

“My personal view is it’s unacceptable. Like any Australian, there’s stuff I see on TV that I don’t agree with,” she said.”

she then took a taxpayer funded limousine to the airport to go on a taxpayer funded family rort/reunion at a first class resort.

The ABC tried to cover themselves by calling it "satire."  Which is about as low as you can get.   Angry

It's called crossing the line and the ABC does it continually ... trying to justify hate speech against conservatives as satire.

They need to be defunded.   Angry

The ABC is not fit for purpose anymore.

I started watching their food origin story on 4 Corners, and I turned it off because I just don't trust their work.

You doubting Thomas:


https://www.actu.org.au/media-release/rineharts-call-to-pay-workers-2-a-day-out-...

Rinehart’s call to pay workers $2 a day out of touch and just plain wrong


Media Release - September 5, 2012

Gina Rinehart is not only Australia’s richest person, she is also clearly the most out of touch and cold-hearted Australian, based on her latest attack on workers and their rights.
ACTU President Ged Kearney said it was almost inconceivable that anyone would consider paying workers $2 a day a fair concept, let alone the richest person in the country  advocating for it.

“If Gina Rinehart seriously thinks Australians should be competing with African workers who are paid $2
day, then she has no idea about fairness or equality – the values on which Australia was built,” Ms Kearney said.

“It’s time we stopped listening to people like Ms Rinehart, who continually shows she has no interest in using her wealth to grow Australian jobs or support the local economy and now she appears to be suggesting we should look to Africa for our future.

“Perhaps she wouldn’t feel so buoyant about the African workplace relations system if she personally had to work surrounded by war, poverty and disease – let alone live on such abysmal wages. Ms Rinehart’s attitude is an insult to millions of working Australians.”

Ms Kearney said Ms Rinehart continually displayed contempt for the people who worked for her.

“Her recipe would take Australia down the path of a nation divided between a super-wealthy elite and an underclass of working poor,” Ms Kearney said.

“Last week she was advocating for a cut in the $85 a day rate of the national minimum wage and today she appears to be saying that cut should go down to $2 a day, or Australia won’t be able to compete with the likes of Africa.

Doubting Ged Kearney is like doubting Jesus - it's blasphemy.
