Happy 50th birthday Auntie. You are an oasis in the midst of the commercial media desert.
Long may you retain your upper middle class Liberal voting audience to keep you safe from those far right government conservatives who wish you (more) harm.

I'll drink to that.
And wasn't last night's programme a treat. A refreshing relief from all the turgid back slapping ones I imagine the commercial channels ran. I just kept wanting to see more than the tiny snippets we were treated to.
I sent the following email on the 1st November. No answer to date!!
Dear Ms Fierravanti-Wells
As a 50 something, usually Liberal voting country woman, I am dismayed and disgusted by your constant attacks on the ABC. This organisation has given rise to more great talent and original broadcasting than all the commercial channels put together. This wonderful record will be stifled at birth if the current board feels it has to listen to the unacceptably biased diatribes from people like yourself.
The ABC is not biased - they just tell it like it is. And that's what thinking people in this country want.
If you want bias - go and bludgeon Alan Jones. I trust he will be coming under an equality of the scrutiny that you are applying to our excellent national broadcaster. If not, I will want to know why.
