  • Independent and impartial? If it’s IDF approved

    Listened for over 20 years to ABC podcasts. But how quickly they were able to bow to a foreign government is quite frankly scary. Antoinette Latouf was fired for sighting a human rights watch article in her spare time.

    They say they got to do better but I never hear Palestinian voices when they are part of the news and it’s almost like all Jewish Australians support the IDF. I know that’s not true.

    Don’t listen. Look for independent journalists.

  • Australian stories where at they?

    Since the start of 2026, we’ve had the devastating bushfires in Victoria and not one episode. They’d rather focus on stories about Trump and the USA again for the millionth time. And to think my tax money goes to this and I’m hearing US news not what’s actually here in our own country. Shame on you!!!

  • Very hard to please all

    Please Don’t use black and white tabloid language. Ask more hard questions. But in response to other reviews, it is impossible to do a podcast that everybody will see as unbiased.

  • ABC Bias

    We are forced to pay for the biased nonsense from the ABC. It’s been worse than the BBC for years. Today’s episode was a ridiculous embarrassment. Partisal ABC journos interview other biased journalists. The interview concludes, with a decisive “Fact” that the Jan 6 Congressional inquiry found true “guilty”.. really? who chose the inquirers? *%! Nancy Pelllosi! Really? that’s the evidence?. We are so sick of the ABC using our money to propagandise against us. Enough!
