It doesn’t matter that the ABC didn’t say it the fact that they reported it as if it was the main angle of the story was disgraceful

We the tax payers should demand the abc goes independent of our taxes

They made no such claim, it was a comment made by a local who was at the meeting. If you wish to see 'disgusting' have a look at many of your broadcasts!

Sky News credibility is zero, Cretin went to the Alice and pretended to be in town and never left the resort. Well done losers.

The ABC Australia journals are off the rail with Aboriginal affairs. They are becoming more the VOICE for first nation people, aborigine, indigenous Australians. They present fake news and never do a FACT CHECK. Twice I wrote to then about 'Stop welcome to country Joe O'Brien.

It’s ok to be racist against whites in Australia, everyone should know that, just as Thorpe and co.

How long until you face serious backlash for being white supremacists and promoting racism and bigotry?

These people can’t event raise their own kids and im expected to get on my knees to them ? Savages

I wouldn’t care much except that this is a publicity funded organisation to the tune of $1B. Taxpayers deserve balanced reporting not this left woke organisation

The folks I know in Alice (whiteys) are more concerned about those kids and their futures than themselves. And the future of Alice itself. ABC is doing nothing to help either! 👎😡

RealMarkLatham Well if you take abcnews use of that term on face value and examine the meeting's discussions, it amounts to tax paying working locals across all races and class levels wanting to live in a safe community. So the term 'white supremacy' is hardly a pejorative then, is it.

Typical ABC, always trying to make white Australia as the bad guy. SBS are just as bad

Typical ABC pathetic they are always have been

Who from?

Defund ABC now.

DefundTheABC

Murdoch press endorsed and supported a white supremacist US President - backed to the hilt the former AUS gov that voted in favour of a white supremacist slogan ‘It’s ok to be white’, now trying to contrive a story because real journos at ABC reported the facts!

Get lost abc, scum

LANCEWI20023551 Racism is perfectly ok.

Any non aboriginal in majority aboriginal towns need to leave now. This is not just white Australians. Indians, Asians, Africans etc will feel the wrath that will come soon. Low IQ, mostly traumatised, aboriginals are being propagandised to hate the other. Will not end well.

Just because the story doesn’t suit the right wing narrative - it’s disgusting! FFS! Look over there - ROBODEBT Royal Commission!

Hey sly spews you jealous they do hate better than you if so time to pack up and close down you've been beaten

Look at these leftist flogs commenting on here. 😂. Can’t defend the ABC so do the usual and simply attack SkyNewsOz who carried the story. No matter how much you bleat and stomp SkyNewsOz ain’t goin anywhere. Chew on that and seethe you tossers!! 😂

The left has rendered those terms utterly meaningless. For about 10 years they've called everyone and their dog a racist, sexist or whatever-ist and most of the time it's utter crap. It draws clicks though.

The evidence would seem to indicate their report was accurate. But sky is where truth goes to die

Love to see your reporters do a story at Wadeye NT - I’ll wait and see how much your white supremacy is appreciated.

Sky has nothing on the ABC, one is qualified and the other Murdoch trash. It’s that simple. It really is.

Not suprised at all , it’s employed questionable biased individuals who have virtually destroyed the once trusted news reporting to no one listens or watches anymore , the program was totally biased. Misleading. Infact u think it was a BLM propaganda stunt

PaulineHansonOz ABC is black fellas TV

Was Credlin there?

ABC is racist in its coverage of violence being experienced by locals of all colours

'The little b**** f***ers are gonna start to get belted, if something doesn’t come out of it,” the man said. “They’re gonna start getting flogged. And they won’t come back [because] we’ll take ‘em out to the scrub and leave ‘em there.”

where are you Ita?

Gee what do you expect from the ABC? Government mouth piece that is all about divide and conquer 🙈

Typical leftard coverage from the ABC.

And that's of any surprise to people?

bleating on about white supremacists! That's just too rich.

Liberal party were in office for 9 years and did nothing about the left wing biased ABC where every presenter is left of centre and pushes left wing beliefs so they better not come on Sky and complain about them, they helped create this Greens / Labor sockpuppet

DEW HavanaSyndrome solutions be consistent.

The ABC are a bunch of left wing flogs with no boundaries and is disrespectful to the people of Alice Springs.

This Rachel Hale?

Their ABC at it again, what a shock. Time to defund.

I wonder how balanced the Sky News version would have been?

Close it down, sell its bandwidth keeping only what is required for a rural emergency network.

I can see why they made that mistake, but all the white racists present were actually Blak, and how very dare you for suggesting otherwise.

ABC is very bias.. only encourages fanatics Greens and who incites violence.. being a State owned same as china or North Korea

Government will support the ABC as it is their media arm. Independent regulator needs to be just that, independent but ALP will ensure they change ACMA to protect themselves and the ABC. This government is simply an incompetent, thought police 👮‍♀️ focused joke.

If you read the article ABC was quoting people who attended the meeting... ABC did NOT SAY IT

How one media outlet can be so far out of step with mainstream Australians is beyond parody

The ABC is leftist trash and nothing more. If all you SJWs want an example of white supremacy...just keep going.

MurdochGutterTrashMedia are blind to irony.... Keep talking MudochToyBoys you are highlighting your own DISGUSTING BETRAYAL of Australian Values

What are we going to do about the ABC biased reporting in Alice Springs calling worried community people white supremacists. ABC is an ideological driven cancer causing tremendous harm worried about ideological systemic racism instead of suffering indigenous children&families

Others were busy.

lol Residents Don't like crime - Must be White Supremacist. Solid Logic & a new low in the 'Things which are now Racist' List.

The Marxist left are the lowest form of scum.. and the ABC is riddled with it.

ABC should be shut down in NT as it is just a Hate Speech network anyway..

left is trying to play race card again. typical

Alice Springs residents plead with govt to ‘help them save their town’Sky News host Peta Credlin says she heard first-hand from Alice Springs residents “just how bad” the town’s crime is, as locals plead with the territory and federal governments to “help them save their town”. “They’ve got a lot of the answers – only to date, no one is listening to them,” she said. She said part of the reason for this is the government has been “focused on a new constitutionally-entrenched Indigenous Voice to the Parliament”. “It hasn’t been listening to the Indigenous voices in Alice and elsewhere, warning that there’s a worsening disaster in remote Australia,” Ms Credlin said. Maybe segregation is the answer
