AIUI "they" (Ita's legacy mob) are trying to destroy the credibility of our non-commercially run, taxpayer-funded broadcaster.
They want Australians to be relying on propaganda outlets like Murdoch's and Kerry Stokes' instead.
And for capitalist media not to have to compete with any quality broadcaster.
David Speer's prominence fits perfectly with those fascist goal.

So what will the kids do?https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09-13/on-background:-will-a-social-media-ban-help-our/104349922
