Based on current ABC TV programming Vera will be on high rotation repeat for decades to come.

Sadly, the Australian duopoly would rather invest in US based submarine building capacity than renewable energy solutions. Madness!

No doubt the ABC β€œPeter Dutton says” News will send a vast contingent of its Murdoch shills to Washington for the inauguration in January. Meanwhile, most people here will boycott the event.

The Australian government continues to do the bidding of the Murdoch and News Corp media while being continually kicked in the nuts by them. Absolutely bizarre!

That is only when they’re not covering what Peter Dutton says.

Liberal senator and Zionist David Sharma once again fails to acknowledge the increase in anti-Zionism which he deliberately mislabels as antisemitism. Also fails to acknowledge how Islamophobia was behind the Adelaide Muslin bus fire.

Having Peter Dutton at a press conference is β€˜confusing’ and β€˜divisive’.

What we know about the synagogue terror attack investigation After it was declared a "likely terrorist incident", Australia's key security agencies are being brought together to investigate the arson attack on the Adass Israel Synagogue in Melbourne.

What isn’t the joint counter-terrorism team investigating the Adelaide Muslin bus fire?

How is the plan to totally ban gambling advertising going?

09.12.2024 11:27 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

That this government believes the social media ban will get the Murdochs and News Corp off their backs while not implementing a gambling advertising ban shows just how delusional and out of touch they are.

This is appalling, utterly abhorrent reporting from the ABC. Many Jews are anti-Zionist and condemn the genocide being conducted by the Zionist Israeli government. No mention as to whether that applies to this community. It’s likely an anti-Zionist attack, not an anti-Semitism attact.

Might be time to move to Bendigo Bank.

Wow, they’re early with this. Surely the destroying Xmas stories should have been first. Is this yet another example of editorial incompetence by Murdoch’s News Corp?

The LNP chased extreme right wing voters and ignored women and climate change. That left a vacuum which the independents successfully targeted. It seems the LNP have failed to learn from this and will continue their decline into irrelevance.

Sadly, Kim Williams doesn’t speak the truth about the ABC’s total support of LNP talking points and the Murdoch media agenda. ABC News with its constant, β€œPeter Dutton says…” rhetoric and click bait lifestyle stories has become a national disgrace.

The government is caving in to the gambling and sports lobby.
They’ve caving in to the main stream media who fear losing gambling ad revenue.
Plus Labor is protecting the gambling venues it owns in NSW and ACT.
This government has no spine.

Seems an industry has been created by governments to fight your FOI requests. Keep up the good work.

My first home computer was an IBM PC-01 with dual twin sided 5.25” floppy disks and an Epson FX-100 printer for A$7,500 back in 1982.

Sadly, a woman’s life is only worth a few thoughts and prayers to MAGA people. What percentage of those thoughts and prayers do you think they’ll be prepared to redirect from victims of school shootings to the deaths of these women?

This lack of action on gambling ads, and the social media ban, are about Labor protecting the revenue of the main stream media. Meanwhile, the media is thankless and does its best to kick Labor at every opportunity. The government is spineless.

Labor ministers contradict each other on reasons why gambling ad ban has stalled Anika Wells says not all stakeholders accepted the Albanese government proposal but Andrew Leigh blames failure to secure numbers in Senate

Labor had also been influenced by its view that free-to-air TV broadcasters are in β€œdiabolical trouble” and many need gambling ad revenue to stay afloat.

Next Labor will allow drug dealers to run ads to increase the main stream media’s income.

How much do the Labor owned gambling venues in the ACT and NSW spend on advertising? Yet again this ShitLite government protects the revenue of the Murdoch media while trying to enhance their revenue by banning kids from social media.

"Disingenuous theatre dressed up as major news": Why the ABC is losing credibility - Pearls and Irritations The biggest threat to the ABC today is its craven and distorted performance in television current affairs reporting.

The ABC continues to lose its audience as it desperately tries to be yet another right wing media organisation. It could learn a lesson or three from Bluesky by embracing its core values, respecting its charter, and being truly independent.

It would be interesting to know where the ACT & NSW Labor owned gambling venues advertise and how much they spend.

Why are you using a picture of the Baker blast at Bikini Atoll in the Marshal Islands to illustrate an Australian story?

Michelle is a total failure as Comms Minister. The anti gambling reforms have also been shelved. She refuses to do anything to reform the ABC and stop the despicable behaviour of the main stream media. Meanwhile, she wants to kick kids off social media because it’s what the Murdochs want.

That’s a good start. Also,
* Drop the social media ban for kids.
* Ban all gambling advertising.
* Stop government advertising on Murdoch media.
* Stop free access to Sky News in rural areas.
* Stop prosecuting whistleblowers.
* Increase welfare payments to make charities obsolete.
