😂😂😂😂😂 colourmeunsurprised

ABC!! The one TRUE VOICE of DEMOCRACY!! MURDOCH media Etc. don't like competitive PUBLIC opinion!!

Australia needs the ABC like France needs the Eiffel Tower and Britain needs the Queen.

And how level is the playing field between the super wealthy, e.g. Gina R, and a person with nothing! auspol

Fifield should not be allowed within cooee of OUR ABC, focused as he is on doing Murdoch's bidding. And seriously, when frivolous enquiries cost us, the taxpayers, a fortune and turn up diddly-squat, the relevant minister should have his wages garnisheed.

Shame for your paper. Oh well bankruptcy beckons.

Now, can we have the same investigation into Rupert's lot.

Government bends over backwards for One Nation and gets horribly exposed

bluedpn Curl up & suffer Murdoch, IPA, Liberals, Nationals. You have made all the wrong choices & this is what is leading to your demise. auspol

Stick that up your pipe Fifield, time for you to back off & leave Our ABC alone

The inquiry didn’t tell them what they wanted to hear. Ignore it. Auspol

Of course he was cleared!!

Bit of an egg on face look

This is before / after SenatorFifield made six complaints against ABC? auspol abcnews sbs nbn

Abc & Sbs have an unfair advantage, All murdoch has is every major daily newspaper, the Australian, Foxtel & shares in Radio & TV ..makes it hard for an american non tax payer to be heard in this country, despite buying myspace..

Raf_Epstein Can we now have an investigation into the behaviour of Fifield? auspol

What a load of Bolshevik balderdash

A lesson for the Minister, never set up a review when you think you know the answer, only to find out that you are the only one who didn't!

Juanita_Phillip Well, that’s a blow to the IPA and the conservatives..

Well, well, well. All those RWNJ’s can put a sock in it now. Wasted public money in the first place. What have they got to say for themselves now?

Hey SkyNewsAust TheIPA

I assume this will be front page news at the Australian. I’m sure Janet will write something positive.

Good outcome

How about an inquirery into the PM Turnbull contacting the 'independent' ABC to influence, coerce and bully them into chaging their reporters and programing content? Govt LEAVE OUR ABC ALONE, they do a better job of protecting us than you do eg Agedcare abuse..

Hardly spectacular. Would call it expected.

what did they expect... sigh

Another witch hunt approved by Turnbull who now only seeks to portray himself as a saint. Just to appease Pauline and keep her onside. Don't expect an apology from either of them!

Says the age as it goes out of business

GrogsGamut FFFFifield can FFFFuckoff

AlexWodak the continually advocate for evil

Because they investigated and exposed the dodge corrupted business culture,where private extreme radical,right wings Media want dare to do it?Sadly ABC is scare investigating exposing Lawless,reckless,bully abusive Builders and Very dodge bias or corrupt Worksafe defend Builder

GrogsGamut Yet another review of the ABC has blown up in the LNP's face! When are they going to get sick of trying...and being embarrassed every single time? Honestly the LNP make 'useless' seem like a standard to aim for. auspol

Even the Liberals say the accusation was pure BS.

HkarterKarter Back in your box Mitch Fifield!!!

I want both the ABC and SBS to receive more funding when AustralianLabor get in, not only because they provide vital services, but because they provide more original fantastic content than the commercials. Sell ABC/SBS programs to the world, profit.

Never 4get,frm PM down, the many CoalitionMPs who R members f th infamous IPA - promoters of the Govt’s push to sell off OUR ABC. Fifield as Communications Minister(is he still?) is a member - total conflict f interest - IPA has far too great an influence - a truly insidious org

Guess Rupert can repay the $30m then

bensab3 Take that Poorlean auspol

This bloke needs to go before an icac enquire. Enough is enough, a serial pest who is causing havoc with his political interference of our public broadcasters. Why is this a recurring theme with this one.

Did Linda Pettersson Director and Licensed Investigator write this report? She has made a report on my complaints re Willoughby Council without a thorough and fair investigation by failing to interview me,the person making complaints?

They'll be apoplectic over at SkyNewsAust Cue bias outrage in 3.2.1.....

NINE SEVEN PAY their BREAKFAST crew a bucked load more than A. B. & C. but I prefer ABC as balanced news & views. THEY try to be fair. not trying hard enough for my Independent VIEWS. but that's life not everyone should agree with me. or those Wined up basket cases of LNP.

PatsKarvelas I bet those kind hearted and fun loving people of the TheIPA must be disappointed.

The ABC and SBS

AmyRemeikis Another slap to the LNP and SenatorFifield who had been one of the leaders of the highly partisan attacks on Our ABC. When will they learn that what they say and facts are not the same. Particularly when the info comes in the daily briefing notes.

PatsKarvelas The most punch worthy face in auspol for mine. I know a lot have put their hands up but this guy is always in the shadows. The rest front up at least

A win for the people.

BelindaJones68 Why was this even an issue?

Hopefully now newscorp will get over their constant carping of the ABCaustralia. The ABC will never be perfect & that's because the personnel are human (they make mistakes). That said both public broadcasters are important national institutions. TI OurABC AusMedia

AmyRemeikis So that would be 'up yours Poorlene'. You're a waste of space & a waste of public money. So's Fifield.

PatsKarvelas good job Mitch

faully33 IPA stooge SenatorFifield needs to stop this type crap now and start preparing himself for life in opposition.

PatsKarvelas So, what’s Pauline going to ask for next?

Excellent- great news. Fifield now needs to shut up and do some work on a Policy that doesn’t involve shutting down balanced reporting!

SenatorFifield position is surely untenable after this review auspol

So will Sky News after dark especially PML PMOnAir SBC his mate Rohan from The Spectator spectator cease their tirades against Channel 2? Of course not. At least there’s Richo SkyNewsRicho for balance currently.

Their charter requires them to have a presence on every platform, and the government should grow up and give them a long-term budget instead of fucking them around all the time. A good honest report. I like that.

Thanks for wasting time and taxpayer money on this while dragging your feet as long as possible on investigating the banks LNPfail I'm going to enjoy voting you out of office next year.

jallenha Spectacularly fucking predictable

PatsKarvelas The outcome of this pointless review hasn’t quite made it in to The Australian yet. Should I hold my breath?

Here's an idea: fire Mitch and drop the tab for this fishing trip in Pauline's lap. Maybe that will put a bit of stick about the ideologues when it comes to faffing around with our taxes...

Poor Rupert, are they taking too much of you thunder, pet?

The Age and SMH are the brands they’re destroying. You’re cutting your own throats to spite the righties - you amazing halfwits.

Big surprise
