This has not prevented the ABC from adopting woke\/Green\/Left positions on most controversies including Australia\u2019s impending referendum to set up a new chamber of Aborigines to \u201cmake representations\u201d to both Parliament and the executive. The ABC\u2019s position on climate can be taken as read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guys, don\u2019t cancel me, but in our household we\u2019ve watched ABCTV&nbsp;<em>7pm News<\/em>&nbsp;(Vic) for 40 years. It\u2019s an addiction \u2013 like heroin, crystal meth, fentanyl. Close to 7pm we get twitchy for our fix \u2013 will the iView app work on our Smart TV (IQ just above 100)? Up to Tuesday (September 26), we accepted the assurances of the ABC Charter that ABC flagship TV would be impartial, professional &nbsp;and devoid of green-Left spin. But &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/iview.abc.net.au\/video\/NU2302V269S00\">last night\u2019s news<\/a>&nbsp;(Tues) shattered my illusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I must now put in a complaint to the ABC Ombudsman (properly, Ombudswoman)&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/about.abc.net.au\/who-we-are\/abc-ombudsman\/\">Fiona Cameron<\/a>. She will consider it carefully before, as I expect, rejecting it , her role&nbsp; being \u201cto build on the credibility and trust Australian audiences have in the ABC.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same item was in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/iview.abc.net.au\/show\/abc-news-nsw\">NSW 7pm news<\/a>&nbsp;(21.30mins),&nbsp; and I assume around the nation. This item even wound up on the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DX_3Of3Vs4I\">France 24 news channel<\/a>, in English, albeit with some clips that didn\u2019t make the ABC compilation. These dual versions enable me to do a compare and contrast exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The item is about the Electoral Commission\u2019s job of setting up polling stations in remote areas like Arnhem Land and&nbsp; the Tiwi Islands. The distances are formidable and the AEC \u2018s efforts commendable. The ABC itself threw in substantial resources to get its reporters around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what\u2019s my beef? Well, judging by the ABC footage, the Yes vote out there is 100 per cent. A Yes tally of 50 per cent, 60 per cent or 70 per cent might be remotely (pun) plausible. In some tiny communities (the ABC mentions one comprising ten people), even 90 per cent might be the go. But 100 per cent across the board?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This smacks of ABC desperation as polls show the Yes armies heading for their Waterloo.<a href=\"https:\/\/quadrant.org.au\/opinion\/the-voice\/2023\/09\/no-doubt-whatsoever-how-the-abc-is-voting\/#_edn1\">[1]<\/a>\u00a0A potent argument for No is that the Aboriginal community is thoroughly split, so why should we\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wiktionary.org\/wiki\/balanda\"><em>balandas<\/em><\/a>\u00a0deliver them a permanent pack of Aboriginal-Industry aristocrats?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"527\" data-attachment-id=\"281097\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=281097\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/0abc-1.png?fit=791%2C577&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"791,577\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"0abc-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/0abc-1.png?fit=723%2C527&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/0abc-1.png?resize=723%2C527&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-281097\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/0abc-1.png?w=791&amp;ssl=1 791w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/0abc-1.png?resize=300%2C219&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/0abc-1.png?resize=768%2C560&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can imagine the conversation at Ultimo as the 7pm News piece is packaged into shape:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ABC Senior Editor:<\/strong>&nbsp;Remember we\u2019re storytellers. Let\u2019s go through all these grabs and vox pops and make them tell a story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ABC Junior Editor:<\/strong>&nbsp;Good thinking! What story line do you have in mind?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ABC Senior Editor:<\/strong>&nbsp;[Guffaws] Well doh! Why are we here, you cretin?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So here\u2019s the anatomy of the finished item. ABC Melbourne\u2019s Tamara Oudyn, dressed all in white (is that a wrong note?), teleprompts how the AEC is encouraging vote-averse blacks to vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>14.24 mins:<\/strong>&nbsp;Shot of shed for remote polling, with two and a half big VOTE YES! signs outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>14.26:<\/strong>&nbsp;ABC reporter Roxanne Fitzgerald says, \u201cSigns are up and teams are ready to go.\u201d She must mean, \u201cYES\u201d signs are up and \u201cYES\u201d teams are ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>14.29:<\/strong>&nbsp;An Aboriginal man in a white YES 23 shirt hands out a voting card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>14.32:<\/strong>&nbsp;An Aboriginal woman lodges her vote. She is holding a pamphlet which from the logo, colour and text I can identify as a YES pamphlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>14.37:<\/strong>&nbsp;We\u2019re now in the Tiwi Islands. ABC vox pops an Elder Bernard Tipoloura who says, \u201cI strongly believe in people talking for us in Canberra.\u201d Behind him are two VOTE YES! placards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>14.50:<\/strong>&nbsp;Another vox pop Aboriginal says, \u201cYeah, Vote YES! We need some changes!\u201d He waves his VOTE YES! sign at the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>15.14:<\/strong>&nbsp;Remote Voter Service\u2019s Aboriginal Ebony Williams Costa says, \u201cAnd I\u2019m also about getting out and informing people about Aboriginal rights.\u201d This seems code for YES. I can\u2019t imagine her pushing their \u201crights\u201d not to have a permanent non-elected Voice assembly. Reporter Roxanne says a funeral and sorry-business is reducing voter turnout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>15.43:<\/strong>&nbsp;Marion Scrymgour, federal Labor MHR for Lingiari, is interviewed with three VOTE YES signs in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>15.54:<\/strong>&nbsp;Two young Aboriginal women are shown casting their votes. The one on the left holds a single flyer for YES.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>16.00:<\/strong>&nbsp;Two Aboriginals with VOTE YES! shirts stand in front of no fewer than five VOTE YES! signs. Roxanne says, \u201cDespite traditional low voter turnout, remote communities will see more voter service than ever before, with voting extended by a week to try to ensure everyone gets a say.\u201d Everyone, that is, who votes YES, judging by the ABC item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>16.36:<\/strong>&nbsp;Ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To sum up, in the piece\u2019s two minutes we see 13 \u201cVOTE YES! \u201d signs, three \u201cVOTE YES!\u201d T-shirts, two \u201cVOTE YES!\u201d flyers, and the ABC finds three vox-poppers to deliver YES messaging. The ABC\u2019s score for the \u201cNO\u201d camp: zero, zero, zero, and zero respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe Ombudswoman Cameron will tell me that the ABC crews trudged hill and spinifex looking for NO case material out there to balance the item and, sadly, none was to be found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A friend of mine who knows how things work in such remote places, suggests this might even be true. The reason: each little settlement is controlled by a \u201cbig man\u201d who well recognises that a Canberra Voice could operate to reinforce his power and patronage. Hence before the ABC\u2019s visit, Big Man has patrolled to ensure no trace of NO material is seen and filmed. He might not even need to, because no-one out there wants to tangle with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now let\u2019s check out the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DX_3Of3Vs4I\">France 24 TV version<\/a>&nbsp;from stringer James Vasina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He\u2019s apparently taken a feed from the ABC as some shots are the same or similar.<a href=\"https:\/\/quadrant.org.au\/opinion\/the-voice\/2023\/09\/no-doubt-whatsoever-how-the-abc-is-voting\/#_edn2\">[2]<\/a>&nbsp;But he runs other clips which the ABC perhaps left on its cutting-room floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He includes a scene (0.13mins) at Mowanjum on the mainland, showing a community store \u2013 and with a VOTE YES sign outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At 0.24 Vasina has an elderly man saying, \u201cOur voice has to be heard somewhere, especially Parliament House and all that. It\u2019s hard to understand what it really means.&nbsp;<strong>A few people voted NO<\/strong>, I\u2019m not sure why, I just decided to go with this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So there we have it, remote NO voters&nbsp;<em>do<\/em>&nbsp;exist, but the ABC couldn\u2019t find any or found them and ignored them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vasina (0.47) then abandons the backblocks in favor of high political theatre, saying,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Prime Minister blames these No votes on misinformation campaigns, given that the Referendum aims to provide Australian\u2019s indigenous people with a representative body to advise Parliament.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The PM doesn\u2019t seem respectful of us NO voters, and Vasina omits that the Voice would also have the right to hector the executive. By omission, Vasina implies to Francophiles that Aborigines don\u2019t already have advisory systems, let alone a peak $4.5-billion-a-year body, the NIAA,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.niaa.gov.au\/sites\/default\/files\/publications\/niaa-corporate-plan-2022-23_0.pdf\">with 1300 staff<\/a>, plus heaven knows how many other bureaucratic beasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vasina at 1.00 wheels out Mr Albanese himself, but not Opposition Leader Dutton or an inconvenient Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, to spruik the YES case. The PM tells France 24 he is confident that remote Aborigines will \u201coverwhelmingly\u201d vote YES.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At 1.14 we see the AEC sign \u201cPolling Place\u201d on a remote-station fence. About 1.5 metres distant and tied to the same fence are two VOTE YES! signs (is that legal?). The cameraman (again, I\u2019m assuming it\u2019s an ABC person) pans into loving close-up of the upper VOTE YES! sign, then scrolls down and pans lovingly on the &nbsp;second VOTE YES! sign. &nbsp;Two more VOTE YES! signs are inside the yard. A fifth VOTE YES! is across the track. Some message here perhaps?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike the ABC, France 24 then plugs in (1.35) stock footage of perhaps 200 people at a city rally. At first sight it\u2019s a YES rally, with a chap in foreground wearing a T-shirt with \u201cStop the Genocide\u201d on the back. It\u2019s actually a NO rally&nbsp; and the TV crew (ABC?) are sneakily emphasising a lone anti-NO campaigner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At 1.40 someone there holds up a sign (at last!), \u201cVOTE NO \u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fairaustralia.com.au\/\">Fairaustralia.com.au<\/a>\u201d. At 1.48 we even get to see two more VOTE NO signs, one reading, VOTE NO \u2013 Do Not Comply\u201d. The item then fades out with Vasina mentioning that conservatives don\u2019t want Australia divided on racial lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you ask me, Vasina is out of his depth in this coverage, and maybe allows in a smidgeon of NO material by accident or because it\u2019s tough trying to explain complex things to a beret-wearing audience 17,000km away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My task now is to persuade my rusted-on ABC household to subscribe to Sky News, or at second-best, haul up France 24 on YouTube. Although head of the household, I still prefer consensus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Tony Thomas\u2019s new book from Connor Court is&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><strong>Anthem of the Unwoke \u2013 Yep!
