1. Good article and discussion in Quadrant about outrageous bias of Australian broadcaster ABC. Author James Allen.

   More of Mark Scott? Surely Not

   Could it be that Tony Abbott’s cabinet is infested with closet masochists, the sort who enjoy being beaten up by the national broadcaster its current managing director has so steadfastly refused to reform? It is the only way to explain this talk of extending his contract.

   Let me be blunt. If this Coalition government extends Mark Scott’s term as the ABC’s managing director for a year, or even for two minutes, then I will not vote for them, no matter how awful the alternative. Spoiled ballot here I come.

2. RB, FYI on Allen West. Because of you fondness you’ve expressed for him, I’m not sure how you will look at it. For me, this is not the first time Col West has displayed judgment I find worse than merely disappointing.

   What was my recommendation to Michael? Forego having Geert Wilders speak, because of he high risk involved. I personally know Geert and support his stance against the incursion of militant Islamism and Islamo-fascism. If we were on a battlefield this would be an easy call, but there are innocent men and women involved — they are not warriors.

     • No, I’d missed it. I’d not even caught wind of that story. Thanks.

       Now I don’t feel too badly about providing you with some of the warning signs.

       I’d already written him off because when he was in a position to take an important leadership stand, he folded, and in a way that left me thinking “this man is in the tank or far more gullible than he has a right to be given the promise we invested in him.” Here’s the link with the video of the man explaining his cave: Allen West: ‘Screw the TEA Party; Save the GOP’.

       And here is an even early caveat that, in a way, proves that having a somewhat jaundiced eye helps stave off possible disappointment and, worse, total disgust with the process.

       Please inform me via email if I chose correctly in not showing you these sooner.
