Australia’s Largest Christian News Site

There is no ad-free media.

Commercial media promotes goods, services, functions and political messages for those prepared to pay for their service.

The government-owned ABC also runs incessant ads. However, ABC ads promote the ABC, its own programs, and its black-red-green-rainbow political agenda. This agenda does not serve most of the net payers of tax who fund their propaganda.

I have been listening to the ABC for over 70 years, since the days of Rus Tyson and “Blue Hills”. It was once the only station trusted for news, weather and rural news. But now I have even stopped watching “Landline”, because it too has more ideology and propaganda than information. I am not alone.

Only “Macca” holds a slim lifeline to the old ABC, and that is surely fading.

Illogical

Since the days of the gold rush and the wool boom, Australia has relied on mining, grazing, farming, forestry and fishing. Then, processing, refining and manufacturing industries were developed with our cheap, reliable coal and hydro-powered electricity. We even built our own cars and lawnmowers.

But their ABC opposes our backbone industries and promotes the globalist agenda for expensive, intermittent “green” electricity plus more electric vehicles. More demand for electricity, with intermittent and unreliable supply, means that blackouts are inevitable.

The ABC also supports migrants, even those despising traditional Australian values. But it opposes the expansion of the industries needed to support more consumers.

It promotes net zero energy, but opposes net zero immigration. This is a recipe for more poverty for working people.

When the real danger to life on Earth is the next Ice Age, the ABC magnifies and twists every weather event into “evidence” of global warming, or their new scare story — “weird weather”. It worships models of doom and promotes eco-anxiety among children and childish adults.

And despite our emphatic “No” to the Voice referendum, their ABC gives that favoured group a loud taxpayer-funded Voice.

“Time’s Up” for the ABC. We should sell it for whatever it will bring.

Do it now – it will be worth less tomorrow.
