The ABC, Like a barnacles old tanker,it will take a long time to turn it back to starboard. The narrative has an aversion to truth, shaped by our neopagan institutions, nothing but a revival such as was seen in the days of John Wesley and George Whitfield,when thousands were turned to Godly repentance in the open fields around London and Boston.
100%, it didn't get up so they have to find a way via stealth to do it - and even though the amendment to not use digital ID was added at the last minute, I'm sure there is a clause somewhere that will allow it or biometrics to be used - it's all about surveillance and big brother, ultimately government control.
I was once an ABC devotee. Always tuned in to hear the news and latest information. ABC was the only radio station you could pick up out beyond the black stump. It was the Cockies go-to for prices at markets for their produce. Some programmes were a 'must' to listen to.
That was in my dreamtime. Now I tune out and away from Aunty, and put music from Spotify or Podcasts over the car radio. Joe Rogan is not yet on my list of go-to, probably because I don't really have 3 hours to devote to him.ABC gets no time at all. I don't pay tax anymore, but I'm sure not going to listen to ABC, because there is no value in them at all!
My story also David. Loved AM and occasionally PM. Fran Whatsername was the junior political reporter in Canberra. I also allowed myself a brief foray into Kitchen Cabinet S.1. Tried Back Roads for 5 minutes, but the climate change narrative did me in. A workplace had Insiders on during Sunday mornings. I couldn’t believe the hate and bias from the odious Savva, Marr, etc. The vileness toward Tony Abbott and any on the conservative side was just so obvious. Anyway, it would “mysteriously” be turned off 🙄. I then discovered Sky after Dark 🙌! so now I’m happily entrenched in my own echo chamber 😉
Like you David, 25 years ago the ABC were my go to radio station on my way to and from work. Then the rot set in and all the leftist crap that was promulgated turned me right off. Don’t listen or watch the ABC at all. If they were demolished tomorrow, I wouldn’t shed a tear, that’s for sure!! As for Kim Williams? His history shows ‘he runs with the hares and hunts with the hounds’!! Obviously a champagne socialist! Probably speaks with a plum in his mouth too??!!
These lefties cannot stand by their lunacy for too long. What do you expect from Abc where their stories contain 20% of the facts to suit their propaganda narrative.
He can't. But apparently he is the best man for the job of running our state-funded propaganda machine. Evidently past his prime and getting into the grumpy old man stage by the looks of it. (I should know - that's where I am now - LOL!)
Kim Williams will be no better than the others before him. He will bring the ABC closer to an inevitable radical overhaul, if Dutton has the courage to do it.
And let's not forget North Melbourne's AFL women's team in the Grand Final. I hope they win-James deserves it.
James you nailed it so well. What is it with the ABC chair Kim Williams and previous chair Ita Buttrose? Such high hopes that they would somehow change the ABC left biased culture, to be more balanced.
However no sooner in the role and they both imbibed of the ‘Kool-aid’ of lefty woke opinions, aligning themselves with ALL who work at the ABC.
Joe Rogan is a con. Misleading all us "uneducated" "deplorables" and feeding us full of disinformation on his 3 hour podcast. Yes it is really repulsive, we should play it safe and get our "only source of truth" via the in-depth un-biased 30 second coverage via the ABC's interpretation of the stories on the tellie. Yeah, right. Who is he kidding. Oh! yeah the media bubble. Talk about repulsive. Spot on James
I was astonished at the foolish words Kim Williams allowed himself to be led into. A simple , “I wouldn’t know because I never listen.”, would have sufficed. Kim Williams is of an age where he should be retired, home with his wife, helping care for his grandchildren and enjoying life doing a bit of volunteering. Not showing his age and not making a numpty of himself. How blind he is.

Who appoints the heads of ABC? Over and over they are left woke bigots, and ignorant to boot.
Williams is a curious pick. He used to run Newscorp.
Nailed it in your last paragraph James! 🎯
Never listened to Joe Rogan he but can vilify him!
The real reason for banning under 16's on social media and trying to get misinformation bills passed!!

Defund them I say. Put our money to good use!

I thought it was sour grapes!
😂👍
I haven't watched anything on ABC for a long time, so what he thinks is of no consequence. These lefties are really losing it
And that's the biggest problem with the ABC - whether you watch it or not, you're paying for it.

Our ABC A Big Con.

Alan, he's not that old mate! Aged dramatically since he took over the reins!

Will ABC be broadcasting the game?
I'm finally excited about women's football

True Jillian….that in itself showed a lack of just plain old common sense journalistic skill
His bagging of Joe Rogan was astonishing. Such an arrogant snob.
Another goblin in my book
I meant Kim Williams is another goblin…Joe Rogan is a very straight shooter 👍
The sooner these media behemoths and state funded outlets die out the better. Who’s even still watching and listening to them any longer?
