The future of the ABC - Guthrie sacked
"The sack" is an interesting term for s 5 day contractor, versus permanent employees with years' long service. Would I expect a permanent presenter to be stood down for a period should they have posted biased material on their social media? Yep! So what is the difference here?- Word Count: 48

I personally don't give a **** who reports the posts, whether it's a lobby group, or some mug writing an email to Media Watch. A fair and reasonable point is a fair and reasonable point!

The future of the ABC - Guthrie sacked
I dispute the claim that the directive to not post opinion on social media was done so 'limply': Louise Milligan got clubbed heavily for her social media posts on Andrew Laming in 2021, so the use of social media by ABC employees is pretty ****en clear in my view; which is neutral...- Word Count: 200

What a joke! Sign a contract that states you’ll adhere to the ABC’s impartiality and social media standards, violate them, get paid for the whole temporary contract, decide that you want to grandstand the issue and then get paid out with tax payers’ money… :rolleyes:- Word Count: 47

Current Trial Leongatha Mushroom Deaths - VIC * ERIN PATTERSON FOUND GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS
I would have thought you’d ask the question. Tasting is key in cooking and she showed that she did it already “a few times” on the first go. -

Sorry to butt in, but was the above question asked by the prosecution at any point? I feel like it would have been some low hanging fruit/fungus to do so. -

Vic Daniel Andrews and the Statue of Limitations
True, but it’s clear evidence, along with outdoor mask use, banning playground visits, painfully slow reopening measures and making people wear masks from tables in pubs to take a leak, that our government erred on the side of hyper-conservatism, no matter the source for the decision. If only...- Word Count: 59

Vic Daniel Andrews and the Statue of Limitations
I don’t even care about the curfew decision specifically, but rather that it demonstrates that the “We will always listen to the health advice” ethos that was clearly not completely true.

Hobart stadium business case

USA Policy positions of Donald Trump; let's see how many he achieves
The desperation from Trump and Vance in that meeting, coupled with the relative 'take no shit' coolness of Zelensky, leads me to believe that he has actually read 'The Art of the Deal'.

Current WAR CRIMES Israel Hamas Conflict Pt 2 - ICC issues warrants for Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu & Yoav Gallant * Warrant for Deif is cancelled
They have engaged in declared warfare trying to get their kidnapped people back and it sucks balls, but it's not as morally wrong as what Hamas did. It must also be recognised that a significant majority of Gazans and Palestinians supported the October 7 attacks according to polls closer to... -
Current WAR CRIMES Israel Hamas Conflict Pt 2 - ICC issues warrants for Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu & Yoav Gallant * Warrant for Deif is cancelled
With respect, Hamas are literally parading civilian hostages in a demeaning manor almost as we speak, so their war crimes are effectively admitted. Your bid to create equivalency between Hamas and Israel is as limp as a well-cooked piece of asparagus. -

I ****en hate Dutton, but at least he can stand up for what is right with conviction, which is supporting Israel's right to respond to a host of war crimes / terrorism and Ukraine's right to fight back against an invasion without merit. Our current PM, who I personally wish was better than he... -

Don't know why that guy is so negative about the future reporting of this incident. It's all over various Israeli media outlets and I'm sure its suitably of public interest to know why the **** these two Jewish Israelis did what they did (and why right now?!). It's not the Russian state-owned... -

Get your hand off it! My post was not trying to justify war crimes, but rather highlight the simple fact that it is an urban war zone and that destruction and civilian casualties are sadly typical. As for "war crimes", Israel and their army can respond to claims therein at a later date, as... -

Updated George Pell * Dead at 81yo
That's my take on that specific issue too and ripping into the High Court for overturning the jury decision doesn’t help the system. Pell is at best a pedophile enabler /apologist. Pretty good chance he was one himself. But that story was highly improbable IMHO.
