Western New South Wales has experienced a lot of political upheaval recently, along with its water crisis, but a protest vote is a rare commodity and voters did not want any more of it at Saturday's federal election.
In the lead-up there was a groundswell of support for Albury Mayor Kevin Mack to unseat long-time Liberal member Sussan Ley, with almost daily reports in the national media about howIt is not that the region is adverse to independents. Just that they had already had their say.from the Liberal Party after the disgraced sitting member Daryl Maguire quit.
The toppling of Malcolm Turnbull as prime minister coincided with the by-election and people were furious.
If the media looked in the mirror they could answer the question right there
Because the ABC is now effectively a state owned propaganda machine. We are already in a dictatorship with no end in site. You helped because money. You sold your sole.
I really feel like swearing now but I won't. Too little to late. If I want an answer I'll turn to smh , guardian, SatPaper or my Twitter feed for answers. Not my abc anymore.
Because of shitful journalism? Anyway doesn’t matter now, the IPA are in charge.
Twitter isn't real life and all the little drip icons didn't work?
THE LACK OF SELF AWARENESS OF AUSTRALIAN JOURNALISTS AND MEDIA IS STAGGERING.
Oh come on, you know the part you played. New management seems to have speeded up the anti Labor program.
I am convinced ScoMo is a Jedi master. He used the force to influence the weak minded. ‘There is no problem with water.’ ‘These labor candidates are not the people you are looking for.’
Too late ABC. Your questions NOW are pointless . You are in the sky news category in this house
Seriously? Would it have anything to do with the fact that you DIDN’T FUCKING COVER IT? FFS, auspol shits me sometimes.
Now you ask? Honestly its to late. You are supposed to ask the questions before people vote. You are supposed to point out lies, instead you simply did he said she said. Pathetic
I am frustrated that the electric cars lie seemed to work so well. It was a target to have half of new cars by 2030 be electric. That means at least half would not be. There shouldn't be far around this and yet there was did to outrageous lies.
Good question. No go areas?
Because no news outlet pushed them.
This is Australia every one for him self!
With help from ABC news
you will reap what you have sown. The fawning adoration by your 'journalists' of a bloke shearing a sheep rather than calling out the lies and emptiness of the Government's agenda will see you broken up and sold off. Farewell to you. Good luck on the dole queue.
The answer you seek Dung Beatle lies deep within
The MSM didn't want to bring any attention to it. I'm sure we'll find out all kinds of dirty dealings now. Seems like anything involving Barnaby gets shoved under the rug until 'after'. Remember his 'family values'? It was all Labor,Labor,Labor. Now they'll sell the ABC.
You were negligent in your jobs. You let the lies stand.
HooncheeW Because you helped shield them.
Because Australian voters are so used to burying their heads in the sand that they don't really care about water.
You’ve done your dash with me . Not watching your news shows voluntarily ever again.
Simple, because all those taxes proposed by labor would have ruined the economy and caused a lot of hardship, and no Adani meant no jobs for nth QLD, open your eyes ABC
ABC how about you stop having a meltdown like the lefty lot that you are and get back to basics, clean out needed at the ABC
You protected them
Because the media, including the ABC gave them a 'rain' check? mediamaggots
I can’t even bring myself to read this. Fuck the ABC.
Because the ABC et al were negligent in your omission. auspol ausvotes
You more than gave them a helping hand to do so? When the IPAs LNP sell every aspect of the ABC I don't intend to lift a finger in protest. You were part of the deception. You betrayed us.
Analyse yourself.
You people in western NSW deserve your dead rivers, your Watergate, your weather extremes. Sure, the ABC were complicit but the fish kill and Watergate were only a few weeks ago. If W. NSW voters are too dumb to remember, they deserve what they get ausvotes auspol
That's easy, you never asked them
You failed miserably ABC, your non reporting was as obvious to anyone following it.
Folk just switched off. But can’t get my head around the numbers!!
I don’t think I can take “analysis” from the ABC seriously any more.
The hide of the ABC, elections over and now they wanna talk about water. .. Pfffff please. ..
the real question is - why was the story broken by Channel 10 instead of the ABC? whatever the answer, the ABC has made itself redundant. good luck with the budget cuts.
You didn’t care then so don’t pretend to care now
Because media ineptness - Liberals were never put under sustained pressure over Watergate. ABC need too busy congratulating Morrison for shearing sheep.
By the untalented swill of the media giveungitto then on a plate. However you were paid the thirty pieces of silver May the weight of its corruption drag you all to the bottom of the cesspit where you belong. AUSVote19
Is this a joke?
Maybe you lot had a hand in that, and I really hope they sell you off, for their mate Murdoch!!
Because didn't run with it!
Because you & MSM wouldn't cover it. Just like cannabis legalisation around the world, you say nothing. I cared about the ABC too but now IDGAF if they're privatised & bought by Murdoch.auspol
Because our media ( including ABC ) FAILED hold this LNP to account. Countless lies with very few 'journalists' calling them out ,especially as some of the lies were so blatant. However our media put the torch to any/every thing Labor did . Goodbye ABC now doomed . .
Abc is going to be gutted now, or even privatised. Good work
I stoped watching all Mainstream Media News including 5 months ago you don’t GAF about those of us in poverty and being oppressed that much is clear with the right wing bias of all MSM I don’t care if the abc is privatised it’s all crap propaganda and RW programming
Because Murdoch media told them it was just Labor digging up dirt before an election. And the likes of Angus and Scotty got away with too many “I’ve already answered that question” responses.
With a little help from their friends at the ABC , nice work, Rupert and Ita are chuffed. Pity you failed to serve the country by critiquing the lack of policy and repeating the liberals lies verbatim. You fail. Pack up your done .
Leftards today …
Because... Journalism?🤔 I wonder how the ABC will fare now after further budgeted funding cuts and stacking on the seemingly inevitable road to privatisation?
U dare ask that U covered up 4 them the most u pack of gutless wonders
Lies of course ... it’s bizarre how people have access to so much information yet they rely on unreliable sources to inform them.. lazy arrogance will destroy everything
Perhaps if the MSM had been more out there with confronting the LNP over their mishandling of the water issue? Instead you all gave them a free pass.🤦♀️🤦♂️🤦♀️🤦♂️
By ignoring the problem and hoping it would go away?
Analysis of all media asking stuppid. got ya Q never asked or demanded Morrison actually Answer what his policies cost. The Negative & fake news. Space invader just bullied media, with Ruperts backing. Water theft & corruption is to be made LAW.
Because it’s the economy stupid
There was a large protest vote, thus there appear to be voting discrepancies in NSW, again. There were irregularities during the NSW state election, why isn't the NSW corruption commission investigating leads? nswpolice greensjeremy NSWLabor
Very little reporting I’d imagine. Media has A LOT to answer for but never will...
Hahaha. Because no one gave a good about the water issue. 💧💧💧💧 you all thought these drips would be effective. Sad.
🤦🏽♀️
Racism wins over water Small minds Small vision Small dreams
How indeed?
Because you, our national broadcaster failed to report on watergate, failed to challenge Morrisons lies during press conferences... and now you're going to pay for it when the LNP cut all your funding.
Investigation please! With the LNP back we'll have no Federal ICAC so the secret deals will keep on happening. Maybe if you did more with the Wikileaks Cayman Is. info we'd be better informed. The media failed again by not playing it over and over as they would of if it was Labor
It's ok. As long as rich families and rich companies have all the water they want; to sell to the Cayman islands and to each other. Who cares.
