Comment on Independent Producers defend ABC outsourcing by david

Agreed. The broader question is whether the ABC should retain production capabilities that extend beyond reporting on the news. In the past the ABC has done so and it’s this independent capacity that has allowed the ABC to produce material which distinguishes it from the more commercial production houses. If it goes the way Mark Scott intends, all non-news ABC production capacity will be outsourced which aside from the employment and editorial concerns will directly lead to a de-skilling of the ABC workforce. Breadth in experience as well as longevity in the industry produce creative and highly respected people like Lockyer and his colleague.

The tributes today to Paul Lockyer and his colleagues killed so tragically in that helicopter crash are surely proof that in-house productions together with training, development and retention of talented journalists and news cameramen should be an indispensible feature of our national broadcaster.

Can’t Trust Julia… she has said 100% of money raised by her carbon Tax will be used to help Australia: We as a nation are one of highest taxed in the world – but wait – there is more to come! The Australian Government has committed us to paying a ten percent additional levy /tithe to the United Nations. This is a self serving un-elected unofficial quasi Governmental Body, who have written their own charter and draw their finances from the nations around the world who have ‘signed on’. Now Australia is about to collect another new tax, of which 10% has been formally promised to the United Nations Green Fund.

Comment on Pyne reminds us, we live in an economy not a society by david

Hi Gertie Related to the idea that the economy is the only thing worthy of government attention is a parallel process involving the gradual dismantling of humanities departments in universities. While this is also a worldwide phenomena it is interesting to note the Australian perspective - Mark over here has one angle and just to lighten the mood you might find this amusing.

At the recent TEDx conference in Canberra, Miriam Lyons of the Centre for Policy Development quoted a longitudinal study of undergraduate economics students which revealed that the study group demonstrated more selfish behaviour after they had finished their degrees than before.

What we know – or think we know – affects our attitudes, and I therefore conclude that economics is the study of selfishness.
