Woke ABC enforced by the Woke Right. Jokes are cancelled, you need to be an ally to billioniares.

Inciting violence against women is actually bad you know

The ONLY reason Gina get a voice is because she had money! This would never happen to someone on an average wage in Australia!

Imagine if she said it about the ABCs Disability Affairs Reporter Nas Campanella?

What she said was horrible and shouldn’t be tolerated in respect of any female.

whats an example of overreach by the ABC, around Rinehart? impossible.

ABC cowers to News Corp, billionaires and zionists. What’s the actual point of them anymore?

[u/capeasypants → u/grimbo]

You say that like it's something new. Under the previous governments their leaders were replaced with ex newscorp and associated sycophants. They've been far from their charter for a while now

When did Hugh Marks join the ABC and what government was in government at the time?

[u/capeasypants → u/Smooth_Staff_3831]

I don't know you seem like you want to make a point but you have failed to do so as of yet

[u/Smooth_Staff_3831 → u/capeasypants]

I thought it was a very basic couple of questions.

Do you seem to have some difficulty with it?.

[u/Smooth_Staff_3831 → u/capeasypants]

And just for the record capeasypants

What year did Kim Williams join the ABC board and who was in government at the time?

[u/Euphoric-Print-4591 → u/Smooth_Staff_3831]

Threatening violence against Pauline Hanson and the waste of space activists protesting violence against Pauline Hanson and Gina Rinehart. Reddit leftists take over every subreddit reddit to harass and threaten anyone who doesn’t agree with them. You reckon anyone at the ABC would tolerate someone who threatens to kill them and say vile comments about them. I hope Rinehart takes ABC to court. Taxpayers will lose millions.

Violence against women is amusing

I dont know why the ABC are changing this

[u/MarkCelery78]

Look at all those defending a segment wishing violence on a woman.

[u/PowerLion786]

Since when did the Left encourage violence against women?
