I listen to the health report, and watch a few of the items on it e.g. Insiders.
It's out national broadcaster and important imo. Cousins watch the Rural reports. Especially important in the country and bush. Destroy it and you lose my vote. I am sure I am not the only one. Australian Reporters in location overseas with much more detailed information, e,g, Foreign Correspondent.

Seriously isn't as biased as you think. If you watch it more you would realise that. Always under attack by Newscorp though, just like the BBC in the UK. I don't want all my news being controlled by billionaires, especially based in a foreign power.

We still watch UK murder mystery shows, Quiz shows etc.


Like I said, it is dying a natural death.

Less than 8pc of the ABC’s flagship news viewers are under 40

And more than 70 per cent of the audience for Insiders and Q&A are over 55, leaked data shows. The broadcaster has been scrambling to pursue younger audiences.

Young people don't watch TV.

We know that, but the ABC doesn't want to admit it and keeps trying to appeal to a younger audience, which is why they are out of touch.

They keep targetting the young nose rings, blue haired lesbian trans and coloured skins, none of them actually watching their shows.
If they were not so politically biased AND paid by our taxes, i would have no issue.
But forcing 100% of taxpayers to pay for it is dictatorship.
Even worse when you consider actual majority taxpayers are never on the left side.
Before outraged cries: we are in a roughly 50/50 balanced right vs left as electorate, but younger ,non tax paying ,and welfare recipients are heavily balanced left so yes, people paying taxes do not vote left.
Note the "Canada the brave" vote did not really do the Trump damage the left expected so unsure how it will affect here.
ABC has not yet blamed the Spanish blackout on CC, still waiting..that blackout news should be printed on the voting place entrance cardboard signs for our own sake.

Simplistic. The young for instance are more likely to be monarchists.

Maybe you should look at your news sources. The ABC reports directly from the sources and doesn't make agenda guesses.

State of emergency declared after major power outage in Spain and Portugal

Authorities say it could take hours or even days to fully restore power to more than 50 million people.

Both Sky and ABC are not blaming it on what you say. The jury is still out.

The news ALL of them including your favourite Pravda , at the time of my post were reporting "unusual weather event" cause coming from the Portuguese energy provider.

That release has now been claimed as false by that provider, so yes jury is out but i am sure it has nothing to do with net zero..Putin or climate change, or maybe a far right hacker?

As for your "

It's always amused me that the people in this site that hate the ABC the most are from Canada, UK and France.
I think that says something.

Yes,you probably do mean all the socialist caliphate paradises these countries are now?
You need the experience of history, travel to know where this all leads.
But you know better no doubt

Back to our own crap, ALP or LNP...
 
I would be upset if Michael Sukkar loses his seat. He is one of the better thinkers and performers in the Coalition and you could say that his housing policy is clever and makes sense. I do find an historic loss very hard to believe. I reckon they might win a few seats in Melbourne. I still think the Libs could win.

Also I see One Nation is doing very well according to the poll. 9.3% of the vote! Surely most of their preferences will go to the Coalition.

Poll predicts historic Coalition defeat​

By Brittany Busch (the Age)​

The Coalition will suffer its worst election result in 80 years if YouGov’s final poll of the campaign bears out.
The research group has released its last projections for the 2025 election this morning, and it predicts Labor will govern with a “clear majority”.
“YouGov’s modelling points to an 84-seat win for the government, out of 150 lower house seats,” the pollster said in a statement. A party needs 76 seats to form a majority government.

“The most likely outcome for the Coalition sees it reduced to 47 seats – its lowest percentage of seats in the federal parliament since 1946,” the statement said.
YouGov said all sitting independents were projected to retain their seats. Independents are also tipped to pick up the seats of Bradfield, Calare, Cowper, Monash and Wannon, which the Coalition won in the last election (Calare and Monash were won by Liberals in 2022 who are running as independents at this election).
According to the poll, prominent Liberal MPs expected to lose their seats included shadow ministers Dan Tehan, David Coleman and Michael Sukkar.

YouGov said its projections were modelled from 35,185 interviews with Australians between April 1 and 29 this year. A statistical technique that combined survey data with electorate-level information from the census and other government agencies was used to predict the election results.

I seem to recall 1 or 2 of the commentators above postulating that the coalition should move further left.

How has that worked out? If they had moved further to the right (not the far right obviously, just a sensible Menzian position), Albo would be wondering how to pay off the mortgage on his waterfront mansion by next week.

The wets have shot themselves in the foot.
