While management has been able to argue that most of its decisions are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nothing happens quickly at the ABC. Mark Scott&#8217;s announcement today has been a long time coming and probably has more to do with Australian federal election cycles than anything else. 2010 is an election year so the traditional media will beat themselves into the usual lather as willing participants in the politics of distraction while [...]]]></description>

This worthy initiative was mean to herald a 24hr news service to all Australians, not just those who are prepared to pay for Sky News. [...]]]></description>

Looks like a negotiation position, the libs will drop the &#8220;restriction on the appointment of former politicians etc&#8221; if labor drops &#8220;the staff-elected director position&#8221;. Can&#8217;t have staff on the board, must keep the workers in their place. I can smell a [...]]]></description>

The Institute of Public Affairs is well funded right wing think tank that specialises in spewing out free market libertarian thought bubbles that frequently find their way into the mainstream media.
