He’s at it again, throwing a Barnaby.
Joyce is opposed to `Govt.’ getting it’s grubby fingers out another run of markets, the medja. He seems to be echoing the Fat Aunty Bolshevik Collective - Wombat Friends of ABC-SBS, Moa’s toilet paper the Age, SMH and other uglies, who owns what will doom the leftoid havens. Ha! They are walking corpses anyway. It hasn’t occurred, Packer and Murdoch have not interfered with the internal conduct of the respective media entities they headed. Some threat Murdoch is, News Corp carries some of the worst leftoid liars and bimbos pretending to be journos to rival the Fairfax stable of useless bums. Barnaby, not alone, can’t get a grip on, market concentration does not decide what is delivered and on what terms.
On the other hand, precisley govt. control through diktat and the extortion racket of licences, and restriction of entry, has resulted , viewrs turning off t.v. sets, readers not buying newspapers, listeners searching for jolly good alternatives such as 3MBS. T.V. is, of course, the worst, with the additional constrictions of the closed union shop - Actors’ Equity and content making the T.V. business a sheer waste of capital. But it amplifies why Newspapers are a waste of money these days. The inmates’ of Mao’s Bum Wipe sabotage of Conrad Blacks’ attempt to convert that toilet rag into a profitable newspaper amplifies why nobody has bothered to enter the market, it’s a socialisto closed doss house of a business.
The ALP-Coalition `all things will be digital’ has only ensured Aussies will still be 50 years behind the Americans. Specifying and dictating what can and can not be done does not result in advances, it kills advance stone bloody dead. One day, perhaps, the Coalition might begin to study some sound economic theory to fid out why. Who remembers, while Americans had been long enjoying it, Aussies could at last enjoy colour t.v. in the 1970’s after the mummers in Canberra had removed their greasey thumbs out of just that, what types of t.v. sets could be sold in Oz.
Barnaby will soon have a nervous breakdown,if he keeps throwing barnabies, sacking good old taxpayers and companies such as Telstra to buy a new dummy every time.
Joyce raises ABC ad concerns
QUEENSLAND Nationals senator Barnaby Joyce said he would have no qualms in crossing the floor to vote against proposed changes to the ABC’s charter if there was grass roots concern about them in his state.
What’s this great change? The Cabinet at last is too unburden that shletered wombat home for commies? No. Perhaps demand the ABC begins to fulfil the charter of functions it was set for? No.
Communications Minister Senator Helen Coonan said today the Federal Government would consider allowing advertising on the national broadcaster, something it has never done.
Over this, the Barnaby is foaming and frothing at the mouth and, running around a plastic totem pole flourishing his play pen authentic toy Indian hatchet, howling terrifying howls. Never before? Well, he must be a loony to do that and not least because of, the ABC carries advertising, oh mostly about itself and it’s dropkick progoms programmes. Nash must be sucking on the same grass filled bong Barnaby uses ( see below )
Senator Nash said the proposal for ads on the ABC was a significant shift and that too needed to be assessed by regional communities.
The next quote confirms how demented the B. is:
“We always rely on the ABC to be the impartial arbiter ? well it’s supposed to be ? and of course once you have a number of masters, that means government and also people who want a return on their advertising dollar, we may have a slight conflict of interest,” he said to ABC radio.
What-ever he’s watching, it’s not Fat Aunty Bolshevik Collective, or, he has a liking for the grass:
“The grass roots people, no doubt, will be telling their state members that they’ve got a serious problem with it.”
Barnaby, the Nimbin Brigade have difficulties coming to grips with anything civilised. Mind, as on other matters, others in the Coalition should get off the grass too:
THE ABC could still retain its journalistic integrity and quality of programming with commercial advertising, a Government MP said.
But there should be restrictions on the sort of advertising allowed, said Senator Gary Humphries, secretary of the Coalition’s backbench communications committee.
“It is time to look at advertising on the ABC,” he said on ABC Radio.
“The SBS experience is that you can have advertising without intruding into the quality of viewing, without compromising the journalistic standards of the broadcaster and in a way that is quite tasteful and compatible with the charter of the ABC.”
Humphries, it’s time to do a head count, not many in Oz give a damn if ABC were to be shut down today and, indeed, tjhey’d be thrilled at getting govt. off their necks by the amount of some $billions per annum just for that sacred commie cow. Perhaps Humphries and Barnaby might explain what is impartial about ABC ads for, the Greens, purveyed as `impartial’, `tasteful’ material, and the awesome dunderheaded duo might care to look up ABC’s website and ponder, for example, it’s free political advertising for Pol Pot’s number one acolyte, Peter Garrett, and other such good for nothing scoundrels.
Humphrey is lunatically silly, and not least because the rubbish the ABC already advertises well breaches his fantasies about `limits’:
Senator Humphries said he was hoping debate on the issue would produce a balanced policy which was carefully framed to protect the limits of advertising on the ABC.
Curious and false choice of word, `protect’, when `restrict’, `control’, `dictate’ are to the mark. Don’t bandy words Humphires, you’re a bloody interfering socialisto who is happy to ensure sacred fat cows inclusive of ABC remain a sapping burden on poor, oppressed, real, taxpayers, another damned Barnaby.
On the other hand, not to be outdone in the Dementia Handicapped Stakes, out comes the ALP stable of dribbling spastics:
But Labor communications spokesman Steven Conroy said the Government should be given a loud raspberry for the suggestion.
“They should be told to go back to the drawing board,” he said.
“When you’ve got a $14 billion surplus, there is no need for ads on the ABC.
“There is no need for this. They’ve starved the ABC of funds
Conroy, a `govt.’ `surplus’ is monetry reduction, reduction of fiat money. It’s not, contrary to also Peter Costello, `savings’. Conroy is arguing, Costello hsould increase already hideous levels o govt. consumption. There is more to this grab and spend addiction of the ALp, which one will expand on tomorrow, but Conroy is reflecting Federal ALP policy, and not just for GFat Aunty Bolshevik collective.
