How Two Scandals Could Change the ABC Forever
Shownotes
Os and Scott dive into the two scandals, which have let ABC boss Hugh Marks make radical changes to the ABC.
First, they discuss the apology he issued to Gina Rinehart over a joke on Race Around the World. Now, he says he is going to change the rules for what jokes can be broadcast on the ABC.
Then, they talk about the departure of the boss of investigative journalism at ABC News, Jo Puccini, and how a generational clear out of news leaders could have dire consequences for investigative journalism.
Finally, the Labor government is set to unveil its new immigration policy, after the announcement was delayed last week amid reports of infighting. Does it show One Nation is already having an influence on Australian politics, well before a federal election is in sight?
