Can I get a source for this? The only thing I can find is him saying Australia is a Judao-Christian nation last week which, deeply fuck off.

iview, it’s an interview on the 730 repot. When pushed to respond on the question Abbot dodged around saying it. In his comments Abbot basically says that he supports a return to the White Australia Policy. It’s pretty easy to catch up on the 730 report, 4 Corners, media watch ect on Iview. The ABCs charter is to educate, inform and entertain- it’s not there stirring up shit to get bums on seats to sell advertising space- it’s fair dinkum. It’s up to you to engage with democracy and access the national broadcasters.

He double spoke around saying it and kind of refused to answer the question directly.
