From my readings of her reseasrch and her illuminating articles in 'The Land' she is unquestionably an excellent researcher and full of courage and integrity. Australia needs more scientists like her. And Prime Minister Abbott would do well to seek her counsel and advice on matters concerning the environment and other areas within her expertise.<br /><br />Further, I fully agree with your point about the ABC though I would not be such a fence sitter on this as you evidently are. I never thought I would say it (by the way, I am a swinging voter) but teh ABC should be given the complete chop. The whole shebang! It has shown itself to be nothing more than an arm of government propaganda - a fact admitted to in public by its Obergruppenfurhur no less - and consequently represents a clear and present danger to Australian democracy.<br /><br />And the quicker we see the back of the outrageoudsly smug Holmes, the nauseatingly pompous Adams, the clownish Robyn Williams, the pointless, pinch-throated chap who runs Q&A (what's 'is name?) and their ilk - the better off we all shall be.<br /><br />Keep-up the good work Andrew. you are a great service to the voice of liberty and free-market democracy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-49291029274562649102012-03-16T14:47:36.138+11:002012-03-16T14:47:36.138+11:00Slightly off topic, but hot off the presses..

I doubt if this contributed much to the quality of RAI's output, but it kept a lot of people happy.<br /><br />Maybe we should be equally honest in Australia, admit that state owned media, because it's protected from market forces, is always going to be captured by sectional interests and at least make the system fair by allocating one ABC channnel to the ALP, a second to the Coalition and a third to the others - Greens, independents, One Nation etc. I imagine that the third channel would provide a particularly entertaining diversion.<br /><br />Consuela Potez.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-29311712143728495172012-03-16T13:36:53.815+11:002012-03-16T13:36:53.815+11:00Note I used the term "market".
