DEFUND THE ABC NOW
The ABC has demonstrated time after time that is not a legitimate news service — it is a taxpayer-funded propaganda machine for leftist ideology.
What outrageous, stinking hide does this bloated broadcaster have to thumb its nose at 2.6 million Australians following them on X and instead pour resources into the far-left echo chamber BlueSky, where it has a pathetic 922 followers?
Even eSafety Commissioner Karen admitted BlueSky is so irrelevant it should be excluded from the government’s social media ban — citing a mere 50,000 Australian users.
X reaches at least 6 million Australians — over 100 times more.
Yet this arrogant outfit is deliberately slashing its posts on X to pump out more content on the tiny woke platform BlueSky.
If any private company boss pulled this suicidal stunt, they’d be fired on the spot for gross incompetence and fiduciary betrayal.
But the ABC doesn’t give a damn.
It gleefully wastes hundreds of millions of taxpayers’ hard-earned money playing its petty political games.
The ABC hates X because it hates Elon Musk and can’t cope with a platform that doesn’t censor conservative voices.
So it spitefully reduces its presence where real Australians actually see it, and flees to an irrelevant leftist safe space where its reach among the very people who pay its bloated wages is 100 times smaller.
This is blatant contempt for the Australian public.
If it just posted the same on X as it did on BLUESKY, they’d be no objection. But to intentionally reduce posting on X is malfeasance and misfeasance.
The ABC deserved to be totally defunded — taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to pay for this.
