Andrew Caroll - interview with Peter Beattie

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Friends of the ABC : One Thread

Is there any action taking place to protest against the recent scraping of the Friday slot on ABC radio Brisbane 6.12 4QR with Andrew Caroll and Peter Beattie. How strange that this occured just before the election was called. What has happended to freedom of speech????? Here we have a Premier who is willing to talk to the people, and the management of the public broadcaster is doing its best to stifle this!! It's OUR ABC???? I think not...

I don't suppose that Andrew Carroll has a hope in hell of returning to ABC but wouldn't his long overdue reinstatement show that the ABC is remorseful for its mishandling of the sacking of this fine commentator. I believe that Susan Mitchell (the me, me, me woman) is here to stay but she is a far cry from the calibre of Andrew. Regards, Susan
