'Hurt, helplessness': ABC review finds racism within broadcaster and staff targeted by external organisations
The ABC's managing director apologises after a review finds "systemic" issues of racism have caused hurt to First Nations and culturally linguistic staff.www.abc.net.au
Go to a meeting of the IPA to recuperate.I attended two of the 7 days of the Adelaide Writers Week, my first time. I enjoyed it, but bloody hell it was almost entirely left leaning. With commentators taking every opportunity to have a dig at anything from NO voters of the Voice to Menzies and everything else in-between that leans right.
ABC heaven.
Yes, from lunacy to common senseGo to a meeting of the IPA to recuperate.
They are both on the extremes, I would not call the IPA centrist, they go a lot further than moderate Conservatives.Would be interested in your differential analysis between the centre right IPA and extreme left writers week folks, Horace.
Let's leave tribalism out of it and analyse the ideologies.
Can you describe which of the IPA's positions are extreme, please.They are both on the extremes, I would not call the IPA centrist, they go a lot further than moderate Conservatives.
Defunding ABC and SBS, abolishing Medicare to name two, nether is supported by the majority of voters.Can you describe which of the IPA's positions are extreme, please.
That a doesn't make them "extreme". It makes them centre right.Defunding ABC and SBS, abolishing Medicare to name two, nether is supported by the majority of voters.
The "centre" is the majority of voters which does not support those policies, so the IPA is not "centre".That a doesn't make them "extreme". It makes them centre right.
Which policies?The "centre" is the majority of voters which does not support those policies, so the IPA is not "centre".
The ones I stated.Which policies?
No use playing semantics, I'm slightly further Left than your good self, so what seems extreme to me doesn't seem that way to you.They are not "extreme" right policies. Right of center maybe, but not extreme.
Yes it's a subjective assessment, but there must be some degree of objectivity, especially in the public arena... and especially when using the adjective "extreme" or "hard" right.No use playing semantics, I'm slightly further Left than your good self, so what seems extreme to me doesn't seem that way to you.
So what would you call extreme Left. Does it exist in this country? I agree its an subjective term.Yes it's a subjective assessment, but there must be some degree of objectivity, especially in the public arena... and especially when using the adjective "extreme" or "hard" right.
Being to the right of Pol Pot, does not make one "extreme,".
Okay, my opinion:So what would you call extreme Left. Does it exist in this country? I agree its an subjective term.
I think the fact that its doubtful that either the IPA or the ABC would ever win government makes them more extremeeners than the majority of voters.
I agree that those social policies are infiltrating society to a disturbing degree, but I can't really see Marxist economic policy coming along with it. Both sides of politics want to cut taxes rather than raising them and Labor these days (and in the past with Hawke and Keating) were keen to sell off government assets and to deregulate markets.Okay, my opinion:
Economically, in general, don't see extreme left practice in Australia. Though the ideology does exist in the Greens. Thankfully, they don't have the cards on the table.
In social policy we... and the West in general... Have gone a long way down that road:
Postmodernism
Critical theory
Critical race theory
Gender ideology
DEI
Economic equity
Open borders/ cultural relativism
Replacement theory
Anti white propaganda
etc etc etc
In the establishment of the above, there is a strong movement to implement Marxist economic theory, via this back door.
