    I've just watched the Peter Dutton interview on the 7.30 report.
    Sarah Ferguson was a total disgrace. She gave Peter zero freedom to answer questions. She kept interfering and pushing Peter in inappropriate directions. If I was there instead of Peter, I would have told Sarah, a little more forcefully, to give me an opportunity to answer questions and stop railroading me into her agenda.
    It was not her points of view the public wanted to here, but those of the opposition

    • @omnipresent1215
      @omnipresent1215 Před 28 dny

      Makes me laugh when I see certain sites do this. Of course the reason is, is because of the plethora of comments that go against the position of the given site. ABC are notorious for this. Also YT should never have removed the 'downvote' button. That said a lot too.
      But we can't have the general/overall public indicating their positions on matters can we? The woke are doing all they can to limit free speech. Certainly when people opposing them are as abundant as (in reality) they are.

    The ABC audience will always flourish while every Sky commentator spends every waking moment seemingly glued to the screen 😳

      Your intellectually lazy. The world is shifting right. This is not debatable. Let's see the left cancel anyone or anything lol. It backfires. Lol never forget our Goya buy cott. AOC told her buying Goya lol we spiked it 1000%. It's a fact

    I hardly watch TV anymore. I’m sick of boring lefty, repetitive crap. They must have made literally hundreds of thousands of movies since the 1960s but we get the same movies over and over again.

    Two thirds of the country uses ABC. Their left wing bias balances Kerry Stokes and Sky's right wing bias. ABC also does kids and regional stuff.
    I can understand, but dislike a foreign company like Sky wanting to crush local competition. Sky joins the woke cancel culture.
