Now the(ir) ABC wants to milk disaster

Listen… Do you hear it? The(ir) ABC is playing the world’s teeny tiniest violin.

They want us to believe they should be given even more taxpayer’s hard-earned cash.  

It’s a stunt straight from the Sir Humphrey playbook.

The SMAge reports that the ABC’s coverage of the current bushfire crisis threatens to push the organisation in to “more budget strife”.  

An ABC spokesman says there have been “670 emergency broadcasting events for the 2019-20 financial year so far.” 

Well, well, well, isn’t this interesting… 

No wonder they’re so hell-bent on whipping up fury about climate change – they’re hoping it can be used as leverage to bankroll them.
