Dear ABC,
Just a reminder Labor is in government. We’d like to hear policies esp on climate & hear end of sentences. If we wanted your new found balance with the opposition we’d have voted for them. Yours, a Stakeholder
When you have all finished laughing at Dan, consider many young women miss school for a week each month because they can’t afford sanitary items and their schooling & self esteem suffer.
#TamponDan
Front page Herald Sun when Dan Andrews missed one of two steps, cold stone sober at 9:15 am on way to work. Barnaby paralytic and abusive.
Luckily there’s no double standard here.
Paul Fletcher is like a desperado climbing a greasy pole when being interviewed by Laura Tingle tonight.
You are outclassed in every way Paul. Resign.

As a Friend of ABC in a very active group I am following Sally McManus’ mantra in industrial action”Stand Up Fight Back” Turning off just hastens ABC’s demise. Write to pollies & Michelle Rowlands. We stakeholders need ABC free of political interference.

@ABCaustralia
Way back, when my broom was a lot less ragged, we also swept out the door in December 2001 another ABC MD, another WMD - Weapon of mass destruction - Jonathan Sheir - sent in by Howard, allegedly to dismantle public broadcaster & hand to Rupert. Or so rumour suggested.Allegedly.
Looking forward to another unofficial Liberal National Party broadcast tomorrow when Sky Boy, David Speers interviews SHADOW Home Affairs Minister James Paterson so we can hear everything Labor is at fault for, with never an explanation for 9 years of LNP inertia.

Why are we even having a showy women’s talkfest Cheryl when Rosie Batty, the Women’s Refuge & Shelter groups, feminist groups, the rape crisis centre & many more have stats & solutions from the front line. They need FUNDING.
FOR THE RECORD :
Ms Keneally : ''I am nobody's puppet, I'm am nobody's protégée , I am nobody's girl.''
Ms Keneally renounced her US citizenship in 2000.

Much of our populace is being locked out of our ABC against its charter.The biggest crisis since meteors hit dinosaurs is here. Earth will survive but will we? We need intelligent debate & action.Not rightwing denial. No tired Murdoch agenda. We want our voice back.

Death penalty for Australian soldiers in Japan? Did anyone understand Morrison’s answer to a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ question? My primary school teachers must have been wrong when describing my comprehension as excellent.

This is what we made in Warringah last time when Zali was elected. The negative hate pamphlets underneath didn’t work. Doubly proud now about Zali, Independents and Labor. ❤️❤️❤️

Exemplified by his payments to voters in Lismore - a Nats seat- but none to surrounding Labor seats Such as ‘relief’ was.This is where a decade + of climate change denial gets you- clinging to a wet, slippery roof at 3am with your home & job floating away & no rescue in sight

Warringah is well represented by Zali Steggall OAM. A team player who listens to her electorate and votes accordingly. Her years as a lawyer, barrister & former Winter Olympic (not bad from a seaside suburb) athlete give her both experience & empathy.

Given Niki Savva was an adviser to Howard & Costello & had deep roots in Liberal Party & wrote for Oz, I expected her to be on the ‘do not read’ list.
In contrast, I like her intellect, style & insight very much. Also she despises Morrison. Understandably.
@SquizzSTK
@ChattyCathyAU
You’d get a higher standard of discourse in a kindergarten. If journos still bothered to research they’d know most referenda in Oz fail & most PMs go on to be returned at next election. Who needs facts any more?

Which part of conscription could the RSL not understand? Which part of young men killed in their prime after being called into the dirty little American war- as it’s still known in Vietnam- could they not grasp? Read Biff Ward’s ‘The Third Chopstick.’

Spending on indigenous matters is already audited within an inch of its life. Good programs are discontinued when they work, white fellas taking money & not producing results, Indigenous folk not consulted- if only they had a Voice.

In Warringah we are still waiting for our Liberal candidate to be thrust upon us. Imagine Scotty believes Newscorp view we are ‘a blue ribbon seat’ & will vote blindly for any Captain’s Pick after we come to senses & return to fold…..ain’t necessarily so.
@MikeCarlton01
Just remind them of Howard’s “Non core promises” straight after the election and Abbott’s “No cuts to the ABC or SBS”. If they can remember back that far.
@strangerous10
Can’t think why we were paying these turkeys such huge salaries when they were unable to grasp the end result of averaging wages over a year instead of 2 weeks & can’t recall what they did, or why.

My money’s on independent Georgia Steele as voters in Hughes seem fed up with Kelly’s vaccination garbage, coverups and lack of integrity.

Never ones to rush into anything unless summoned by USA, Australia turns blind eye to results in Portugal where drugs have been decriminalised since 2001. Addiction has gone down. Death from AIDS, HIV, Hep A &C & tuberculosis has gone down. ‘War on drugs’= giant fail.

He hasn't had any more trips than Abbott or Morrison according to diary records. Its a NewsCorp led beat-up to discredit the repair work he's doing after a decade of ham-fisted LNP trips, insulting neighbours & sucking up to USA.
@Maynardgcrabbs
@JonesHowdareyou
I agree. I can’t believe Bill Shorten was described by Heydon as ‘not a credible witness’. Shorten seems to me to be honest, reliable, loyal and credible. None of which now seem to account for anything in this tank of snakes in which he was operating.

@DameEmpress
As Paul Keating said, and I’m paraphrasing, as John Howard jetted off somewhere, “How can you not love Asia. It’s so vibrant and alive and full of culture,
not just somewhere to fly over on your way to the UK.” I agree.
@MikeCarlton01
So glad LNP still hasn’t realised stale, white males mansplaining we are in the grip of the ‘yellow peril’ is not doing it for women. Or millennials. Relax Labor, you’re in for the long haul.

Karen Middleton knows what every woman knows. We have more chance of being killed at home or in a school gym by a former or current partner, than by a released ‘foreigner’ wanting to start a new life.

I came to political activism Tony via independents Peter MacDonald & David Barr- 16 consecutive years in state seat of Manly. What is overlooked is the independent backers flush out the very best community minds. Working for their community. Just saying.

Absolutely correct. Greens sometimes get trapped in the silo situation with too many similar ideas coming back to them. If he sides with Dutton he’s doomed.
@stephaniedowric
So tired of the ‘yellow peril about to invade’ scenario I’ve lived with for 70+ years. As Keating says “We are part of Asia”. Stop supporting the industrial military complex on a base of fear. Vigil outside Weapons manufacturer in city before Covid. China is our friend.

Hypocrisy seems to be a word that has LNP scrambling for dictionary. James is a particularly self-satisfied, sanctimonious version of the scramblers.

Just imagine the frothing and churning of the mainstream media if Labor launched into a ‘secret agreement’ with the Greens or the bevy of Independents. Apparently transparency doesn’t relate to LNP.
