Yes, I get an 'issues sheet' from Rupert every morning, so that I can promote his interests.

I am talking about the FTA networks.
They receive both preferential regulation which helps them corner the market and a number of massive cash injections from successive governments over the last 15 years.
Hard to complain about the ABC, whilst using free market principles as your justification.
+more contradictions.
they never paid (murdoch/packer) the free market rates for the spectrum originally. it does not matter it went thru other hands like stokes or bond or was listed, or whomever owns it now.
+ given digital channel market spectrum free.
ok, we can argue who owns the analogue/digital spectrum.
BUT, the proprietors conceded spectrum was part of the commons, do be divvied up by the gov't. OK, ostensibily, to be regulated. but really, it was so they could have monopoly powers.
so, the proprietors, or as they like to call themselves, entrepreneurs, lifting up society, they are not altogether intellectually rigorous with their argument when they look to take one part libertarian market friedmanism, and then want a central body to enforce a property right of monopolies. how does that work?
i cant even remember the point(s) is wished to make. as usual, blackcat is inscrutable.

I think it would be fair to know the total payments that are made out to the presenters ($274,0000, in this case) but to reveal the actual salary of each employee is disrespectful, in my opinion.
you mean let them be NSA and take metadata?
i dont think you dont give the salary details cos it affects the middle classes bourgeoisie mores of dont discuss your salary.
i think it is an area, the gov't as the gov't, have no place in that part of peoples lives. except for them contributing tax, this information is for the sole context of the person. no one esle. he/she can do with it what they wish

I am having trouble understanding what you've just said. I feel like we're arguing two different points. Could you rephrase?
affirmative

I see what you are saying. Honestly though, most industries in this country are subsidised by the taxpayer one way or another.
Nevertheless, I wasn't complaining about the presenters salaries at the ABC. I was trying to explain why they are lower than the commercial networks.

Among those, only Freud could actually write. He still suffers the indignity of being grossly misrepresented by his acolytes. He probably deserves this though. Mind you, if you were to introduce me to your auntie, all of this could change.
From a 10 shareholder's point of view, it'd be interesting to see what Bolt is being paid to cop a ratings flogging from Barry every Sunday morning.

Should every wage and expense occurred by the ADF be made public also?
The serial vilifyer and practitioner of distortion is never likely to disclose his pay. Double standards are his stock in trade. With his media commitments and speaking engagements I'd guess he wouldn't be on much short of a million per annum. And with his wife also writing for the Hun that would probably take the family income to over the mil.

Much lower than I thought.
I'd give Fran Kelly an extra K to talk dirty.

He lives in a hole in the ground hiding away from reality so he can spruik his own version of his reality by holding everyone else up to rules that he will never apply to himself or his mates.
Bolt is not a journalist, his in an editorialist who provides an opinion, exact truth and reality don't matter.
Agree! However, more a propagandist than editorialist.
hes a provocateur and polemicist.
and a pretty good one at that. overtook eric blair in the news stable
Better to be a filter for Murdoch's interest than the collectivists of "Friends of the ABC".
I briefly worked at the BBC (few weeks). Great bar they had there. Worse than Oz public service for wasting cash. Staggering.
Public interest? Yeah, nah. Cheap booze at the staff bar and paedo haven.

good new avatar meds. Fez(s) are underrated imo. great mustache too. leaves hipsters for dead
Black tie and fez. Eggs and Bacon.
How many employees does the ABC have? BBC has over 20k. Staggering waste of cash.
