Is James Paterson a de facto spokesperson that is considered an oracle of wisdomโ€ฆseriously give it a rest ABC

Exactly, heโ€™s says โ€œwe will see what is possible?!โ€Have they got the message yet they lost in a landslide. Labor you must change the ABC this is garbage!

Kicked out of Corangamite and parachuted into the Senate but not one shred of humility.

Serious intervention needed.

Needs to be addressed quickly Labour is too nice.

It was absolute garbage!

She rode roughshod over him.

Worst ever.

Unwatchable shouting match, do none of them have any manners.

Ed said he could not finish and all PK could say it was robust? What would her mother say?

It was worse than a shouting match at the footy.

12.05.2025 12:47 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It got to a point of the shouting โ€œnuclear, nuclear, nuclearโ€ like some sort of moronic cheerleader show.

It was a screaming match shocker!

Yes, itโ€™s sour grapes politics and statistical cherry picking. Itโ€™s the foundation of our system.

We all know how to use strategic voting, to say otherwise insults the average voter.

Just say โ€œwe lost badly we need to learnโ€ would be much more graceful.

Or the following โ€œX left wing or Y independent wonโ€ฆBUT Z actuallyโ€ got the most first preference votes. Repeat after me #ABC we have a preferential voting system to suggest otherwise undermines it and suggests โ€œthey didnโ€™t really win, they got luckyโ€

I heard the strangest announcement on #ABCradio, they noted that #moniqueryan wins #kooyong but focussed on the Liberal primary vote, something like โ€œMonique has won despite the Liberal primary vote of 41%โ€. Can we please STOP the trashing of the preferential voting system! It is disturbing.

12.05.2025 01:31 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 1

100% too polite and achieved nothing, sounds eerily familiar ๐Ÿฅฒ

10.05.2025 08:05 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Or it will be โ€œI apologise that you took offence at my statementโ€ qualified apology

08.05.2025 23:35 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 4    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

You are 1 million % correct! This was the one thing that would have huge impact on the future . 6 years at least of renewable energy investment certainly or the slow meandering to a nuclear never never.

Time for a staff relocation I think.

Last one for the night, Trump has proven that โ€œbeing niceโ€ on the left hoping that the right will do the same is a complete mirage. Agree stop leading with the opposition โ€œAngus or Susan saysโ€ - Frankly who cares! Make some changes and NOW

Now given the mandate, can the ALP show some courage and clear out the ABC like the Libs would have done without a thought. We want BOLD change that supports her insights!

No more Liberal light.

Just listening to Patty Kervalis now with her perfect 20/20 insights that we didnโ€™t hear 6 hours ago.

03.05.2025 16:03 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Absolutely, she was surrounded by her colleagues (Crabb, Spears et al.) that bend whichever way the wind blows. The were spineless, misguided and wise once the results were clear. 100% Agree.

03.05.2025 15:55 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

100% she is the most condescending person I have ever heard on the radio, it drives me nuts.

The are just thinking, we dodged a bullet being the senate rather than house of representatives.

Thatโ€™s it gym session up, lungs will get a work out if that happens!
