    Bernard Keane Retweeted Dr Julia Baird

    I'm confused about the hysteria over the IPA's appearances on the Drum when it's been 3 times in 6 months. Not sure people have this is anything like proper proportion. Do they just not want conservative or right-wing views on the ABC at all?https://twitter.com/bairdjulia/status/1023009171073974272 …

    Bernard Keane added,

    Dr Julia BairdVerified account @bairdjulia
    Am increasingly worried about the silos of public debate in Australia and the refusal to listen to different views. Out of 530 odd panel spots, the IPA has only appeared on the Drum 3 times this year. But people yell at us about them daily.

        People are not 'hysterical', they are airing their views - much the same as you but without your elite platform. A better question is why are Baird & others discrediting critics of the IPA instead of getting answers from the IPA that people want. Isn't that the job of journalism?

        It is incredible that the ABC is attacking their own audience and professional journalists are jumping on the bandwagon insulting the intelligence & integrity of anyone who wants the IPA held to account. The world is a very strange place.

        Drum's not to blame, but the ABC does seem be going to Right-wing sources rather than experts more frequently. 7.30 using US think tanks like FDD rather than locals

        Australians have never been less well-informed on technical and scientific issues then they are today. An IPA spokesperson should NEVER be asked for their opinion on specialist issues. A specialist should. This ranges from economics to #science, #climate and medicine.

        I think people are reacting to the cumulative effects of the last couple of years of v frequent IPA appearances across all ABC platforms, sometimes on the same day. #The Drum is the first to take action to achieve greater diversity. There are definitely other conservative voices.

        And there is a proliferation of those other often arch conservative voices, and I would assert an over representation of them. Australians are not, as a general rule, radically right wing or archly conservative.

        I accept @bairdjulia ‘s explanation of the number of “high profile” conservatives declining to appear. I have seen tweeps since make some other useful suggestions

        I suspect its more about the IPA on all programs on ABC like @QandA @abc730 & #TheDrum Half the population hadnt even heard of the IPA till this all started a few yrs ago but if they want more ppl to know their hideous intervention in Gov Policy its a good thing-shine a light

        Even one appearance is way too much to grant to a fascistic sham charity devoted to privatisation of #OurABC that boasts the Communications Minister, among other LNP Ministers, as members. These are not mid stream conservatives; they are neoliberal extremists like Trump. #auspol

        Bernard it's not just the @ABCthedrum but all ABC programs, plus radio, newspapers, @SkyNewsAust etc. What has pissed people off is that no-one has ever disclosed that Gina was their largest donor, including @bairdjulia. #auspol #IPA #GinaNoHeart

        ROTFKML. So what does real journalism look like to you Dermot? Surely someone could have asked who is funding the IPA before now especially after all their regular appearances in the media and their policy marketing? This is a MASSIVE MEDIA FAIL. #auspol #media #thedrum #ABC

        I'm sure that has been asked before, but the IPA have refused to answer. Unfortunately for it the court demanded an answer about her contributions to the IPA.

        I guess it’s a bit like crime statistics for the Sudanese community. They’re small in total numbers and proportionally over represented. Unlike the Sudanese though, all members of the IPA are all a threat to most of us.

        Bernard: I would like to hear from more diverse conservative voices. The IPA is a fringe group, with an agenda that is wildly unpopular in the electorate. Left groups with similarly unpopular fringe opinions are not nearly so prominent.

        I don’t think the IPA is more prominent than the fringe left because of deliberate bias. They’re well funded, well organised, willing to show up on time in a nice suit for free. It’s a laziness bias; they’re easy to have on, and left fringe groups would surely be a giant hassle.
