anything that obstructs the Elite's lurch into Totalitarianism is labelled 'right wing extremism' not bc its true, but because the Left are the chief advocates of Totalitarianism

I dislike this fat hypocrite, I must be put on a terror watch list I guess , while Muhammad can go about planning his next terror plot unhindered . Ffs

More fake news from that shit show they call the ABC!! What an absolute waste of taxpayers money. How would they know they were right wing extremists Defund the ABC now.

The woman is grotesque. How the Uber company can inflict that on children is beyond me. What sort of health message does it send?

Szubanski was trolled by ALL VICTORIANS because she was the antithesis of a suitable health message.

Because anyone who mocks an obese, unfunny comedian giving health advice, is a far right extremist....

No just by normal people who don’t like celebrities pretending like we give a crap about what they think.

So, not the Left? I knew they were more enlightened and above petty behaviour.

I may have commented to the effect that the ad did not tell the real story ... People like Sharon are more at risk if contracting Covid

We have paid thousands of dollors... please don not play with our future. Let us come back to Aus.we are ready to be in quarantine and will pay fees too. bringusbacktoaus bringusbacktoaus bringusbacktoaus bringusbacktoaus bringusbacktoaus bringusbacktoaus bringusbacktoaus

No....by Victorians who have had enough!!!!!

So Left-wing extremist are ok but Right-wing extremist aren’t!

Fact check!

So we can rule out the Mad farting witches? auspol.

'Raht wang explenists everywhere', Karen screeched millenially across the pages before returning to her office in an institution engaging in extortion.

So any tinfoil hat wearing nut-job is automatically right wing? More ABC crap.

ABC do a comparative piece on trolling of Magda and Credlin . That would be more interesting and balanced.

Typical left wing extremist comment.

ABC reporting... I Think you forgot to add the letter a in the sentence. Trolled by A Right wing extremist... Everyone else is just normal people who hate Dan and everything he stands for. Stop stereotyping me ABC.... apparently that's not a good thing according to Yous.

A big 'C' on Sharron's vest & face mask . Is that meant to be for 'China' 🇨🇳 ? I know you folks at ABC can't say 'China Virus' even though it was CCP mishandling that got the virus here in the 1st place that caused massive deaths in Victoria . Dan Belt & Road Andrews !

Right wing? Is it because Magda is a clear left-wing sympathiser that any criticism is assumed to be right wing?

Oh and look at that ratio lol Doin’ the ratio dance WatchRatio

The propaganda “ad” was patronising, hypocritical, insulting and offensive. It was ill conceived and a disgraceful waste of tax-payer money, filling the pocket of a left wing extremist. This annoyed the majority of the Vic population, regardless of their politics

kt_calderwood thinks that Australians who complained about their taxes being spent on ads by washed up left wing comedians to prop up failed government policy are somehow “right wing extremists”

What about the left wing extremists that go after Credlin and Rita.

Right wing extremists, now that's hilarious...

And Nyadol? IStandWithNyadol

It's all a giant ........

You people are hilarious to the point I often have to double take to see if this is a parody account. Then end up shaking my head in disbelief that my hard work goes towards taxes that pay a bunch of juvenile activists masquerading as “journalists”. You morons have lost the plot!

Why is it that well paid hosts & panellists on the ABC continue to demean, contradict & talk down to anyone daring to question their political views?.. Just don't get it.

What about all the lefties who published JennyMikakos address? Because they were hating on her for standing up for herself against DanielAndrewsMP

She really damaged her branding spouting off the lockdown propaganda

KFC do not tell you which wing you are receiving. Maybe MacDonalds, maybe Hungry Jacks... but KFC do not

Throughout the whole story, not one 'right-wing extremist group' has been identified. Lousy source, lousy reporting.

Nah, you don’t have to be right wing or extreme to spot an absolute joke.

Right wing snowflakes are out in force defending the indefensible as usual, so glad the right are collapsing under there corruption and poor judgements, obviously they don't like free speech since there so butt hurt by a female comedian, cry me a river 😂

Lots of triggered folk in here, so much for the tolerant right. Lol

More fake news from the specialists.

Anyone that’s not a communist is a right wing extremist according to the ABC and the sheep that follow them

She deserves it, she's fat.

No one is ever a left wing extremist 🙄 biasedABC

No, trolled because it sucks.

Plus size playing the victim card again 😴

Every thing that the ABC doesn’t like invokes the old gold “right wing extremists” bullshit. Oddly they are lacking in actual evidence to support their claims.

DefundABC

No one appreciates taking lame health advice from a morbidly obese D Grade celebrity. 'Right Wing' has sweet FA to do with it.

You lot couldn't find the right wing on a roast chicken

She was playing netball in the ad...an activity that was banned under Andrews' lockdown. Regular people don't like double standards involving a lecturing from fictional characters.

Yeah sure, of course it must be right wing extremists, ffs

Gotta love how if you criticize anything of the Left you are immediately labelled 'extremist', but if you say anything about the Right you are automatically considered 'virtuous' and at worst labelled 'activist'. This is what is meant by the term:

well I hope the eSafety commissioner is also following groups like AntiFA and extremists like these

Right wing extremism is just an idea.

How do you know they’re right wing extremists

Fuckwits theirABC believe disagreement = right wing extremism.

Extremists? And the left want a royal Commission into biased media.

By that standard, this article of ABC is far left extremist propaganda.

I wish these celebrities would speak out about uber and their employment practices but oh no , they advertise their services .

I thought it was massively lame and I’m no right wing extremist. Find another excuse for celebrity non adorance.

Who are these right-wing extremists exactly? Where are they? Why aren't they identified?

Or just people who hate being told by some hasbeen 'comedian' how to live their lives in flu season. But a left wing organisation like the abc will blame everything on 'right wing extremists' because noone actually researches anything anymore

The ABC stirring up division again...and never ever taking any responsibility for their role in doing this. They are bad for our society!!! Right wing extremists!!! Bollocks!!!

LOL “right wing extremists”

Nice try. She was trolled because we see an obviously obese slob lecturing us about our health, whilst supporting the most repressive government in Australian history. It's as disgusting as she is. She wrote the ad, she needs to own the criticism. Extremist indeed! 😂🤣😂🤣😂

Translation: Regular Victorians disliking propaganda to ‘obey’ a hopeless corrupt government. Oh and your taxes will pay for it

You don't have to be right wing to think that was a shit ad !

According the TheirABC anyone who doesn’t vote Labor/Greens is a right wing extremist!

Translation: Regular Victorians disliking being told to ‘obey’ a hopeless corrupt government. Oh and your taxes eill pay gor this add

Gee they’re tough guys on here 🤣🤣

There’ something inherently wrong with some people in society . Nutty crazies

ABC must be busy, it’s old news

Now do Peta Credlin.

What is this horse shit?

She is not an advocate for health.

Ew. This women is mentally unstable. Hardly an advocate for mental health when she’s attacking people unhinged.

More fake news.

Can the abc produce some examples of calling out left wing extremists? It seems that this is yet another example of clear bias.

Now do Chris Lilley

The campaign was a failure. Nobody will take health advice from a 200kg comic.

Anyone that's calls her fat is now an extremist.. Fu

Hahahahahahhahahahahaha

What the hell is wrong with people. She can do whatever she wants. Free speech

Shit ad but switch off is what I do.

If you agree with the views of you are a concerned citizen, if you disagree you are a right wing extremist.

Journalisms.

Well this story brought out the cranky right didn't it? Who are the triggered snowflakes again?

Sharon is a great sports person who deserves respect

Rubbish - many, many regular people were sickened by her quisling behaviour, in supporting the lockdown against Victorians. scamdemic2020 Plandemic

Trolls on Twitter? Never!!!! IStandWithDan

Now do the people who troll Peta Credlin, Rita Panahi, Miranda Devine, Dave Hughes, Joe Hildebrand etc etc. Or do they not count?

'I think we need to question whats going on here and looks at this virus with perspective and take into account the long term negative costs of locking everything down.' = Right Wing EXTREMISM

What legal proof do you have that these ‘trolls’ are Right Wing? How do you know they identify as Right Wing?

She took blood money to support Dan & co she was always going to cop it

Shouldn’t Border Force be arresting the Right Wing Extremists. They are not doing much else.

I trolled’ it because it was crap and a waste of my taxes,no other reason. It seems that diversity is okay as long as we all agree to conform.

If you know they are right wing extremists then it’s probable you know who they are...so EXPOSE THEM!

I trolled it because it was crap and a waste of my other reason.

Was it right wing people attacking her? I saw a lot of comments in relation to how did she get the job due to her racist history of blackface. Wouldn't attacking someone over their overt racism be a left wing attack?

The difference between who cares about others and who doesn’t becomes so crystal clear when someone like Magda is trolled by self- serving, spotlight addicted, so called media personalities, for promoting such a basic community desired behaviour in a time of world wide crisis!

She said what needed to be said

As this is an ABC report it will be fake news Every ABC employee has to be that left wing, they need to wear slip ons as they can't reach their right foot If as Magda did sleep with dogs, you get fleas PR spin for a Corupt Government Chooks are starting to come home to roost

loves pedos and antifa terrorists

Time to get your own facts in order ABC - Christchurch attack was NOT right wing - he was one of yours - an eco-fascist that identified with the politics of the CCP.

Yeah sure... it was extremists 🤣🤣🤣

Have a chat to Jacinta Price about extremists who have been trolling her for years you hipocrisy riddled organisation..

Not a particularly well thought out article this one. Just like the ad.

ha ha HA by right wing extremists if some one tell the truth is extremist fasist right wind or Nazi. THEY don't see THE AD look stupid she look off and the people create it are COVITIOTS

No evidence beyond the esafety commissioners say so that the criticism/abuse was either a) coordinated (where, by whom) or b) right wing. Magda copped more than just feed back, but i would bet the threshold for abuse was set very low.

She got trolled for using Victorian taxpayer COVID monies to promote Uber eats!

Not 1 bit of proof pointing to any right wing group just generalisation and opinion of 1 person. Where are the facts

Everyone who disagrees with me is a Nazi. Am I doing this right ABC?

It was pretty weak

Jeez those pesky right wing extremists.

Ah she didn’t have a problem supporting left wing blm assholes protesting illegally during covid restrictions but then had the temerity to tell us how to follow the rules now . She can p*ss off .

Troll some sellout fvckwit on Twitter - right wing extremism. Burn down cities - mostly peaceful protests.

“right wing extremists” lol.

Defund the ABC

Hahaha, I'm pretty sure everyone cringed at this pathetic piece of propaganda. It was by far the worst piece of government advertising in decades. Bland, tone deaf and patronising. Pure cringe.

Isn't this old 'news'?

Unfortunately just another case of the government not reading the room !!! However no one should ever be trolled no matter what side of politics!!!

What evidence do you have of thier political views? I'll wait

Which shows how dangerous right-wing extremists are. It is not too far from Charlie Hebdo’s attackers, if not the same.

Where's the proof this was coordinated? It wasn't. DEBUNKED

That ad is a good example of what this government thinks of voters. They think we are dumb fucks that need to be told what to think by a C grade celebrity.

I think people are fed with celebrities telling them what they should be doing. I don’t need a celebrity ad to tell me what to do. Let’s dumb down society a little more shall we!

Her head is inside Andrews... she gets PAID thousands to support Dan.. that’s her job! Tax payers pay her wage

Did this upset you cry babies?

So pleased that they are still tracking these extremist groups. We love both MagdaSzubanski and NyadolNyuon We stand with all our sisters. We are and they are Australia.

Maybe because the far right AND far left are all just nutters with nothing better to do, they really are not worth the time of day. Sadly the RWNJs are on our TVs these days such as on Skynews and have a lot more reach than us everyday normal people

Pretty sure that 'right wing extremist' now means anyone who criticises government policy. auspol

The “tendentious” ABC, to use a big world w a simple meaning: “expressing or intending to promote a particular cause or point of view, esp. a controversial one”. Namely that ‘volumetric’ criticism comes only from the right; all or most of it is extremist; and it is coordinated.

So eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant is equating Internet trolls trolling Sharon from Kath & Kim with *actual* terrorists who have actually killed people (in Halle and in El Paso) and she still has a job in our government?! auspol cc PaulFletcherMP ScottMorrisonMP

cant actually think of something more unaustralian than attacking sharon

Lay off Sharon! she’s everyone’s second best friend.

Right wing extremists, I know they exist, but really they are like unicorns.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Or, and this time without the clanging left wing bias, she was criticised for a truly awful shill job in a truly awful ad. You don't have to be a nutter not to like being told to put your life on hold, lose your job, and get depression because of the flu.

The harassment ramped up after TV chef Pete Evans posted about the ad calling it 'offensive and disgraceful' and accusing it of 'brainwashing' children. Don't you mean TV cook Pete Evans who was also selling 'magic light ray machines' he said cured COVID-19? That nice guy?

Shes huge

Maybe people didn’t appreciate a parody character during a pandemic poor taste
