Classic ABC

Today's Australia Talks Back is classic ABC Radio National. Ostensibly a discussion about Aboriginal poverty, and welfare, all the guests were employed persons (my main gripe with the broadcaster). Good on a caller, Nigel, for mentioning that Noel Pearson has a job and "I bet he spends most of his time in Canberra", even if Nigel was predictably challenged by the (employed) presenter.

It's almost like having a program on music and making sure that all the guests are tone deaf. That's not broadcasting, that's filling up the airwaves with stuff. And that's ABC Radio National on the topic of poverty, unemployment and welfare. Always.
