Ita Buttrose is a hypocrite.
She should have made the ABC fair and unbiased -
not a left wing, finger pointing, virtue signalling, propaganda site.

Perhaps they should just sell it to Murdoch? He'd know what to do with it. You'd love what you see then, hey, Bobby? Roll Eyes

No - just put someone in charge who is fair and unbiased.

And who would that be, Bobby? You? You're hardly unbiased. Few people are. The ABC is doing a good job, holding a mirror up to Australian society and if you don't like the image that you see, well, who's to blame, hey? Roll Eyes

The ABC is too biased.
It's Ita Buttrose's fault.

They should have advertised for an unbiased candidate.

Again I ask, who would that be, Bobby? What you really want is someone biased in the same direction you are. Right? Tsk, tsk. Roll Eyes

Thats why some call him Booby!

To use a Smith term he is an IDIOT!

The ABC should be unbiased because it is PUBLICLY FUNDED. It's in the charter. It must NOT be biased.
A private media outlet can be as biased as it can afford to be but that's not the case for a PUBLIC broadcaster. You did know that the ABC is public, didn't you, Bbwian, or have I surprised you with the news?
Are trying to be cunning or are you really this stupid?

Although first recorded in the nineteenth century in the literal sense of ‘awake, not (or no longer) asleep’, figurative use of woke has been traced back to 1962 in a glossary of ‘phrases and words you might hear today in Harlem’.

In it he discusses the constantly shifting street slang used in urban African-American communities and provides the following definition of woke:

All government funded western channels appear to be leftie goodie goodies channels.

I think it is the nature of who gravitates to public funded institutions. They bring their natural bias with them.

It will always been the way.

I think there is no solution really. if they didn't recognize "Invasion Day" they would be called insensitive to this movement. The leadership, Ita needs to stop trying to be PC.

What we don't want is government interference in the ABC. Then we get RT.
If they are free to state BS, we get Fox.

Personally I think they should call it "Australian Day" only unless the government proclaims it to be called something else. Appeasing the minority is not their role.

I blame pollical correctness movement. The ABC is full of PC wannabes, it is in their nature.

"The Portuguese were a contender problem was they looked only at the Top End and didn't find enough to interest them. East Timor was as close as they came to Australia and that was a very minor outpost. Saint Francis Xavier apparently saw the smoke from bushfires over the southern horizon when he visited Timor but not even evangelism was a strong enough driver to make them visit."

So wrote our friend Brian.
Tsk, tsk.

In the 15th century Portuguese sailors made extensive maps of Australia's east coast. But because two Papal Bulls issued on May 3 & 4 of 1493, which concerned the division of the undiscovered world between Spain and Portugal would have required them to surrender these maps to Spain, the Portuguese chose to conceal them.

The original maps were lost in an earthquake and fire in the 18th century but records still exist.

The reason we aren't speaking Portuguese is because of Pope Alexander V1.
