If the ABC is going to give softball interviews to "former Home Affairs secretary" Mike Pezzullo, they should really disclose to readers that he was sacked from that job for 14 breaches of the Code of Conduct

If the ABC is truly committed to the rule of law and impartiality it would have disclosed Pezzullio’s corrupt background. Better still it would not have interviewed a disgraced bureaucrat. If he was being interviewed about his wrongdoing and its consequences for policy that would be fair enough.
The problem with this article is not Pezzullo but avoiding the concerns about him being a policy 'player'. Pezzullo is welcome to advocate and deserves to be listened to on policy - as Abul Rizvi is. Oz needs more informed policy debate- whether or not we agree with Pezzullo on a particular topic
Why do they continue to interview these disgraced people? I can understand 7news or Newscorp using them, they glorify disgrace, but the ABC must be better.
look at who runs content, look at the men running ABC who were in court last week. ABC needs a shake up to get rid of Newscorp, channel7 and any other biased men at the top.
Olivia Caisley worked recently worked for Skynews. This could explain the lack of disclosure. I doubt SkyNews would think why he was sacked is a problem.
Penned by Olivia Caisley only recently joined the ABC from Sky News . Paul Keating at the NPC told her , what a dumb question and her questions to Mark Dreyfus didn’t end well either .
That's how they plan to turn the ABC into another pro-LNP media outlet, just recruit a whole load of News Corpse drones and let them loose. How long before the ABC are trying to goad cafe owners by sending a guy wearing as Star of David cap into their premises?
Also - why interview him, there must be plenty of retired senior public servants who are knowledgeable but just don't make public announcements as though they are still in their job.
I want more detail .. convicted murderer ? Where ? Who convicted? Past exp re any refugee issue says EXAMINE ALL THE DESCRIPTIONS OF ALL the “offenders” . Rw media headlines are 90% bullshit
oh no, disgraced is only for sex or money scandals, this is Australia, you don't get ostracised for being racist or similar. just for kicking up a stink about that
Another example of how the ABC is willing to compromise it's standards in the quest to become more LNP-friendly. Recycling Pezullo into an 'expert' is the kind of thing you'd expect from News Corpse, not from our national broadcaster.

Those within the ABC revolted by the decision to platform crooked Pezzo can help - who done it?
It did not pass moderation …
