Media commentator Prue MacSween has criticised the ABC for its acknowledgement of country at the end of its news bulletins, saying it irritates her “greatly” that her tax dollars “are funding this propaganda”.

“It’s why so many of us really don’t engage with the ABC anymore,” she said.

“I don’t want political activism shoved down my throat and that’s what they do now.”

Welcome to country is such bull anyway.

She’s a knob jockey and everyone knows it.

StomperStains Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land. auspol

Acknowledgment of country is always empty virtue signalling anyway. Anyone who uses it can't be taken seriously.

Says the voice of propaganda

I agree. This is nonsense. Has anyone actually asked the traditional owners if this is what they want?

Social and political commentator ScottCouzens doesn’t give a fuck what Prue MacSween thinks about the ABC.

Toxic Sue?

The cosmetic surgery that Prue has had irritates me.

Given that the test pattern rates more highly who gives a flying ferret whatshername thinks?

This country can never heal unless we have a 'Welcome to CENTRELINK' ceremony.

True.

Yeah. ! Me Too ! Have been itching to use that term !

Is Prue still sources must be wrong.

Give me that any day to the ABC being a taxpayer funded platform for left wing minority groups.

What would one expect from this red neck oldie macsween_prue? Has she asked herself on whose land is she camping on besides?

Who gives a shit what she thinks or says 😕

100%. It’s not their job and is BS

Yeah but Prue is a bit of a dill hey.

opa1420 As you would expect from the racist, climate change denying mouthpieces of the mouldy Murdoch media.

As if Prue watches the abcnews. That’s just the outrage subject the producers allocated her after the brainstorming meeting.

I must say I'm sick to death of it all - smoking ceremonies, acknowledgements etc etc ... we can't do or say anything these days without acknowledging something that didn't really exist - then or now ! Talk about the Emperor's new clothes ...

Agree. Virtue signalling at it’s worst.

So Prue IS watching.. and DOES want to be better informed. 👍😊

Because Murdoch not paying tax, getting favourable business conditions and fox getting 30million handouts doesn’t amount to paid for LNP propaganda?

I think they should all sing Flower of Scotland.

AnthonyCole68 Does she own a remote. She should turn over and watch one of the plastic surgery shows for some new ideas.

At least it's not at the start. You know, 1st. Like every other GovernMental organisation. Putting them last is sure to bring out the reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

PS who is Prue MacSween?

you dont like it? leave. What was it Trump told his people - get back to where you came from

What propaganda. Easily irritated type?

Every time Prue MacSween opens her bigoted mouth auspol

You know why the ABC is still open for business with their hand in the tax payers pockets that would use to this nations gain anywhere else No neither do I shut it down,I want a refund ,

AnthonyCole68 I find Prue greatly irritating so its kind of a quid pro quo then 👍🏿

Desiccated white supremacist...

Pure MacSween is mutton dressed up as lamb.

an_untamed I'm irritated that any news outlet gives this woman a platform to spout her personal bias and general stupidity.

AnthonyCole68 Prune can perch and rotate.

You're a collection of sociopaths.

How is recognising our indigenous people propaganda...

Eschertology Prue MacSwig-a-Magnum can f/off with her opinions & is 1 of the many reasons why most don’t watch Sky, she denigrates any actual Integrity of real Journalists

bsadams25 Prue MacSween irritates 90% of the country greatly

an_untamed Too much ‘Prune’ McSween gives me the runs ...

AnthonyCole68 Awesome. I’m so glad. And, well, she doesn’t have to watch the ABC; she can watch the fair and impartial Sky News instead (btw I’m being very sarcastic)

But its prue so who gives a toss

AnthonyCole68 When she shows her returns I will start paying attention

an_untamed Sadly, Prue MacSween irritatates the bejesus out of me. So go figure.

Prue whooo 🦉 🤔🤷🤦

Well she irritates me, so we're even

I don't need to be welcomed to my own country

I agree

Can Australians have a postal vote whether to continue with this dividing 'welcome to country' or whether to ban it. I will bet all my money that it would be scrapped

AnthonyCole68 And Foxtel subscriber numbers continue to plunge.... don't change a thing!

I think it’s beginning to irritate a lot of people. Why we fund this leftist organization is a mystery.

I agree. The practice is divisive and insulting.

Ok boomer auspol OkBoomer

I am conservative as anybody but I do not have an issue with this. They are the nations first people and it is a mark of respect.

MRobertsQLD Just how is this 'propaganda'? The British sole all indigenous land and a simple acknowledgement of the traditional owners shows some respect.

HollinsMrhump Hawaiian people stood up to stop their language and stories being 'whitewashed' and lost, Maori people did the same. Our Indigenous population deserve their history to be preserved and passed down. We are ALL interlopers here.We should all be learning aboriginal culture in school

Prue MacSween, aluminum head piece wearer from 'Sky After Dark'.

Does she just try to be hideous for the money and noteriety or is it possible she is actually this horrid?

Kate3015 Should we provide the Aboriginal people with 'Poor Me' t-shirts? Getting sick of the rubbish being pushed at us

She can always change channels.

The old dragon

Can that doctor increase the strength of the meds. Moon howler syndrome is evident.

Headline should read: old white lady in early stages of dementia constantly annoyed by stuff. Get over it Prue.

I’m with Prue.

Is she concerned with the Coalition government deliberately ignoring 23 highly experienced fire chiefs warnings of climate change drastically increasing the severity of bushfires and inhibiting hazard reduction..ignoring calls for more equipment that ma have already saved lives

Let’s be honest - Prue McSween is Australia’s biggest fool - can we export her to China! FFS

MRobertsQLD I have no issue with this practice. It occurs in schools, at sporting events, by community leaders and good politicians! It is used on a podcast I listen to. Why not on the news? auspol INDIGENOUS

Don’t watch it then Prue. FYI - I love it.

MRobertsQLD Ita Buttrose hasn't changed a thing Has she been GOT

I’m with macsween_prue on this

taki_n_thepis_s It just fuels division and a victimhood culture. Maybe that's the idea. Once upon a time the ABC just reported the news.

Think this whole thing has gone to far now & losing its value. Okay. Bending over backwards for what. Its my country too.

I agree with her.

She must be talking to a mirror . But it’s good to hear she’s on to the most important things

Prue Mac Who?

Good on you, Prue! I feel exactly the same way. I have ancestors who have been in Australia since the early 1800s. I don’t need anyone welcoming me to my country.

WGaF

Prue MacSween is a simpleton - why would you give such an intellectual lightweight any airtime at all is beyond me!

😂😂😂 She who speaks on MurdochPress PropagandaMachine

Couldnt agree more

How is this news?

WS18304382 Be assured shes not the only one 🤬

Stay of the Botox please.

Stolen land guilt.

She’s absolutely correct. It’s a load of bollocks.

It irritates me greatly that we pay $100 per month for Foxtel & the only Australian current affairs programs on in the evening are full of right-wing conservatives censoring discussion of Coalition Govt transgressions (of which there are many) & obsessed with Labor & 'Lefties'

At what point does everyone on Sky just start wearing pointy white hats?

She’s a racist reject from a bygone era. No longer relevant. A KerryAnn Kennerly clone.

Interesting take on what propaganda actually is...

As an atheist, I take offence at my tax dollars being spent on politicians praying a Christian prayer before Parliament. Australia is secular.

roberthartleyf1 And her opinions are important, WHY?

It irritates me greatly that my Tax Dollars are funding Prue MacSween & “are funding HER propaganda”. auspol

Wow. Can she get any more gross.

Of course she has. predictable

If they keep cutting the funding there won’t be enough time for the acknowledgment of country.

Without dividing, identity politics & political correctness (fascism), the Left have nothing to contribute.

Oh diddums. Poor Prue is cranky. She could either not watch, grow up, mature culturally, not allow herself to be upset, read up on the topic to better understand it, move OS, shut tf up, or try race baiting to flare up right wing division and hate speech to boost ego and ratings?

Totally agree with her - it’s unnecessary clap trap .....👎😡

Tell her to love it or leave it

And Epsteindidnotkillhimself

ABC slammed over horse cruelty storyRacing NSW has slammed ABC’s 7.30 program for a “false” and “unfair” broadcast on racehorse cruelty which claimed horses were slaughtered “on an industrial scale”. You would believe nothing you hear at the ABC, and very little, of what you see. So...the racehorses WEREN’T discarded, mistreated or slaughtered? They maybe were PRETEND CGI horses or horses actors pretending to get slaughtered? Did my eyes deceive me? The so called science of racehorse cruelty has never been proven. The latte sipping inner city lefties have made this all up. Racehorses have always died in Australia
