If you live in Melbourne, remember this bloke permitted all the 3AW and 2GB attacks on our elected government during a health crisis.
He employed Ben Fordham in Sydney.
He let The Age and SMH become what they are.
He oversaw a culture of sexual harassment and bullying.
Our ABC, gorn.

But dammit I used to love having the abc radio on all the time when I was doing stuff..
Look like a Professional Chief.
Given the existing dominance of vested interests media in Australia, this appointment could hardly be more disappointing. Phillip Adams warned us. @petefitz.bsky.social
And we need Phillip Adams here for some much needed history and insider knowledge.
Might as well just give it to Woopert.
Everything’s working to plan. The Duopoly have their list of 5th columnists who can be reliably counted on to be appointed to complete the task described
To undermine public confidence and trust in Australia’s institutions

So, who has decided that’s what we need?
It’s excellence, it’s innovation, and just because it’s possible doesn’t mean you should do it.
Words to live by.
Christ on a fucking bike.

He’s as likeable as dog shit in the ridges of one’s sneakers.
You would have thought we were reporting of different cases as his reporting was SO FAR from the actual facts.
So I wrote a rebuttal argument calling him a (basically) shit journalist. Haha. The good old days.
Lamer being Lamer does nothing, but plays the victim 🙄
"Mediocre calls to mediocre ".
It is also self destructive, both in guaranteeing anti Labor coverage and losing votes from Auntie's many many supporters.
The last nail in ABC's coffin. This bloke wouldn't know impartiality if it smacked him in the face.
All we can do is boycott further till it dies. Put Aunty out of her misery #NotOurABCAnymore #LiberalNationalBroadcaster
Francis Barlow 1687.
He could have initiated a spill of the board but instead will now be busy sucking up, hoping for benign election coverage.
He won't get it and serve him right.
Allegations?
So he was incompetent in his last job, but sure, we’ll let him manage our ABC?
Dude ran a straight Liberal Party talking point policy at Nine. AFR was a Frydenberg mouthpiece.

It’s probably the end of our ABC as an institution.
That’s the plan.
Stand up and be counted.
Otherwise our country will be further stuffed.
It is more a full stop on the sentence.
New paragraph will be the sale.
Alright, alright, so it may be my podcast, and I may be a middle aged man like the new ABC manager, but I’ve never hosted a Liberal Party fundraiser, so it’s marginally better.

Hope someone credible can interview the people responsible for this appointment - there is a lot of baggage to unpack
You could randomly pick someone loitering on any beach & get a much more competent CEO !
#ABCprivatisation
Not with a bang but a whimper.
Pathetic Australia.
Pathetic Rowland and Albanese.
It's part of his job as Head honcho to know what's going on.
Just about everyone knew about the allegations against Jones; as you say, they've been around since the 90's.
Yet somehow this dud didn't?
Yeah, right!
I guess that’s where we’re at.
a string puller,
a ransom note...
It just does not make sense
[caps accidental but i cbf rewriting it]
Once again the power of the metaphorical old school tie and a jolly good salary and nice benefits are at work.
Elbow is no more interested in enquiring investigative journalism than any others.
Death by a thousand cuts.
