Nonsense. The level of questioning and treatment of the two PM candidates has been vastly different, with a much easier time for Morrison.

No your opinion is nonsense. ABC is the only news channel I watch so my opinion is completely freaken valid.

since tax payer funded would be nice if they were more impartial but it is what it is I guess hence that is why Morrison doesn't go on ABC TV or radio
The ABC has always given more stick to the incumbents than the opposition. It's just the way things work.
The fact that it's been 10 years since the coalition took office means they have received more attention. And we of course notice it more.
And the way they've thrown money (and largesse ie statutory authority appointments to cronies) at owned and marginal seats is disgraceful.
I know Labor has probably done it in the past and I'm just as critical.
If Albanese wins, and he selects a non-partisan committee to select public service (with no political interference), high earning appointments he'll win me. Sophie Mirabella being appointed to the Submarine Authority and recently appointed (just before the election was called) to the AAT is a disgrace!

ABC and SBS have quality TV mate. Much better than the commercial crap.
I reckon Speers is a fantastic journalist. Much more factual and unbiased plus generally well researched.
Watch The Responder on SBS. One of the best shows I've watched in a while.

My degree in Commerce with a major in economics is shit hey.
Sorry about that.
Do you have any factual comments rather than loud opinionated and rude BS ? I bet you don't.

Yet Albanese even has the courage to enter the bear pit of the Alan Jones show. Substance instead of sycophantic studios serving up slogans.
If you ever doubt the worth of the public broadcasters have a geek at these.
I'm mostly on Radio National on the way to work and way home. Monday Norman Swan - I know, I know, but a clever man who has a great show (not a fan of the co-presenter style currently). Then on Tuesday listen to the Law Report with Damien Carrick - one of the best shows you'll hear. Then Andrew West on Wednesdays (he's on leave now) with the Religion and Ethics Report. Then on Thursday Richard Aedy with commentary on the economy. You can have Friday off - Download This Show is a giggle fest of millennials.
If none of this floats your boat there is the best of the best - Maeve O'Meara on SBS in any cooking show she ever hosts. Gourmet Safaris? Best shows ever!

Yes, and there's plenty of Liberal aligned folk working for the ABC. It's chaired by a blue ribbon Liberal.
Did you get it from Trump University?

If Labor win office and establish the Fed. ICAC, there will be no shortage of agenda items. Box office seats to watch the show!

The system is corrupt ATM, and must be modified to better reflect the listeners/TV watchers preferences.
IMHO the best system is vouchers, the money that is now paid to the SBS/ABC is divided to the vouchers. (This money can be only used as a source of financing the broadcasters.)
Each taxpayer can than decide which broadcaster will receive its/hers/his money, and this is updated each year i.e. at the beginning of the financial year.
The recipients could be:
- local broadcasters (local ABC, or other);
- national broadcasters (ABC, ch9, ch7, ch10, sky news etc.);
The tax payers can than decide how to distribute their vouchers,
e.g. 100% to the local broadcaster, 50% to the local, and 50% to the national or any other combination.
This will stimulate the broadcasters to improve their products, to attract more vouchers.
The public schools shall be financed through a similar system, and no more than e.g. 1% of the budget, given to all public schools, the rest would be converted to vouchers. The only difference to the broadcasters case above would be that the vouchers are only given to the children's parents and not all taxpayers, and as before they can only be used to pay a public school.

Good to see Natasha take up the role of Chief Minister of the NT, particularly as a second female leader since Gladys fell on her corruption sword, as we need a better balance of their voices.
On that note, also a quality interaction between Australia's most trusted politician Penny Wong and one of the few quality coalition Ministers in Marise Payne at the NPC foreign policy debate that not long finished.
