    ABC’s Andrew Probyn has been chastised by ACMA for breaching impartiality standards in a controversial report about Tony Abbott. Probyn stunned viewers when he described the former PM as “the most destructive politician of his generation”https://trib.al/LYEKUjY

        Yep. Kicked out of leadership because Abbott was exactly that - 'the most destructive politician' EVER. Thanks @andrewprobyn I was delighted to hear you call a spade a spade at the time.

        Certainly not now. Turnbull-stacked Board, Murdoch-IPA best friend Guthrie - no Charter f Independence anymore - correct, no longer ‘impartiality standards’ at what WAS ‘our #ABC’. #auspol

        Were viewers really stunned? If so, could it be because he spoke the obvious? I'd have thought Mr Abbott would wear that description proudly

        I played ‘shit happens’ to him a few weeks ago, along with some other creative suggestions as to how he might best serve the Australian electorate (ie FO) and he reported me... booted off for a week. I hope you’re doing okay Julie xx
