    Remember the Liberals have cut ABC funding twice, appointed a friend of Turnbull's to chair it, are subjecting it to a "competitive neutrality" review and have fired a barrage of vexatious complaints at it. Selling it to Murdoch is not some implausible frolic of ideologues now.

        Fair dinkum. This govt really does have a death wish. Or,maybe, they know they're screwed so trying to do as much damage as possible?

        And in the case of Centrelink you sack frontline staff and then outsource call centres to Serco. The thin end of the wedge.pic.twitter.com/JUw1ROE9Z1

        Plus Fifield & Turnbull have both overridden the reccos of panel appointed to shortlist Board appointments, by imposing their own choice, not recommended. Commonly known as stacking. And their endless liss of complaints about staff.

        Murdoch's doesn't want the ABC. He just wants it out of the way and neutralised so he gets rid of the competition. He's been working to get rid of the ABC & BBC for decades.

        Do you think they might change the path Fox News is on? I thought Lachlan might be a bit different. Not sure about James and know nothing about Elizabeth.

        Nope. I had high hopes for Lachlan too but I've heard he's now become a clone of his father. Fox News won't change until they lose viewers. Elizabeth very smart runs her own business.

        Also most liberals love the ABC. In fact the majority of ABC viewers are Liberals. It's just the young fascists/liberals that want the ABC gone.

        No, it's an IPA goal - On Rupert Murdochs wish list. ABC is competition for him.

        This is so upsetting and worrying. We’re intent on not being the best version of ourselves. How does someone even come up with such an abhorrent idea.

        "We're intent on not being the best version of ourselves" - I don't know if they are your words, but they perfectly sum up current politics. It seems regression to the mean and nasty is de rigueur.
