The Australian Olympic Committee will make a direct appeal to ABC chairwoman Ita Buttrose after the national broadcaster electedin Tokyo, a move the AOC has branded "monumentally short-sighted".
"The ABC should reconsider this decision. The AOC is prepared to put this case to the chair of the ABC directly, on behalf of the 8 million Australians who participate in Olympic sports," Carroll said."The AOC believes the decision is monumentally short-sighted and a great let-down to Australians who rely on their national broadcaster – from the smallest of communities to our suburbs.
"We live in times when we need to inspire even more Australians to participate in sport to defeat the growing scourges of obesity and mental illness. Tokyo 2020 presents such an opportunity to do that, given the time zone, in particular," he said."The Olympics can inspire Australians to embrace something valuable and as the ABC’s charter indicates, to contribute to a sense of national identity. There’s no bigger event in the world to fulfil this ambition.
"We will be sending athletes to compete in some 42 disciplines in Tokyo. These things go to the heart of the ABC charter."

ABC opts against buying 2020 Olympics live radio broadcast rightsNext year's Tokyo Olympics will mark the first time since the 1952 Helsinki Games that Australia's national broadcaster will not have live radio coverage of the event. Can live with that but if they ever ever cut test match cricket coverage then all hell will break loose It also set a great precedent by opting out because the service was already provided elsewhere. That reasoning can now be applied elsewhere in the broadcaster. Thanks Ita Buttrose ... well done you

ABC is 'out of control and captured by radical left-wingers' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Rowan Dean says the ABC is “out of control” after Monday’s Q&A episode “disgracefully advocated for civil insurrection, vigilantism, murder, arson, wanton destruction, vandalism and lawlessness all promoted at taxpayers’ expense”.\n\nThe national broadcaster announced an investigation into the episode, which featured a high-profile feminist talking about murdering rapists, after it received a string of complaints.\n\n“Earlier in the week on Sky I called for Ita Buttrose, managing director David Anderson and the host of Q&A Fran Kelly to be investigated by the federal police for incitement to violence. I stand by that call and I repeat it,” he said.\n\n“As an organisation, the ABC has been wholly captured by radical left-wingers”.\n Absolute crap Shut them down The ABC has been out of control for over a decade, legislation protects the ABC public servants from any government interference. The interference that may be inferred by Socialist Labor however is welcome. Silly Malcolm thought he could buy them. 😂
