    ABC employees don’t go to work to “serve their audience”. They go to work to get paid.

    Oh no. Anyway.

    Seriously though, I don’t get it. Is anybody going to care if they don’t get some ABC content for a day? This doesn’t strike ( pardon the pun) me as much of a bargaining tool.

    Awww, I wanted the article to just say.
    “Go research it yourself, I’m on strike.”

  4. Poor Mr Marks, all he can think of is continuing to fuck people over. Why don’t they just give in and enjoy it?

    Triple J has been so good today and I didn’t realise it until the little announcement, I was thinking FINALLY all the worst radio personalities in Oz have stopped with the goddamn yap yap yap and the station is just playing amazing song after song instead.

    Hope the strike lasts a LONG TIME.

    ABC24 showing BBC all day was interesting. Kind of sad not to see Joe O’Brien stumbling his way through awkward interviews this afternoon though. I love how he ignores the auto cue and just wings it

    Love the ABC, but I wonder how much money they’d save by not making game shows, e.g. Hard Quiz. Not sure what game shows bring to the table that enriches our culture over the ones on commercial stations.

    To stretch the point somewhat, also dramas.. I mean why not just regulate that all commercial Australian stations need to produce x% local dramas & diversity?

    ed: Point being that money saved can go into wages, if there are some things the ABC doesn’t reallly need to do, like game shows.

    Unions 😂 I’m sure there’s shitloads of journalism graduates looking for a start… if you aren’t happy in your workplace find something else.. they are well and truly replaceable. Keep milking the taxpayer.

    Hey Labor, wanna use your majority in parliament to help the ABC or help fix the shitshow of Australian news media in general? What’s that? Oh right, your plan is to do “jack shit”, marvelous stuff guys.
