What the BBC Scandal Means For the ABC. Plus, The B-Grade Radio Hosts Who Really Run Australia
Description
Os and Scott kick of this episode by briefly talking about some of the TV they're watching and music they're listening too right now, before discussing the coverage commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Whitlam Dismissal.
Then they unpack the fallout from the Neo-Nazi rally outside NSW Parliament, stepping through how it was allowed to take place, the excuses the police and government have provided and the traps the media keep falling into when it comes to covering the far-right.
Later in the show, Scott dissects the scandal that saw the BBC lose its two most senior managers and led to accusations it had been the subject of a "right-wing coup", and whether or not the same thing could happen to the ABC.
And in Keeping Tabs: How commercial radio hosts and tabloid newspapers influenced Victoria's retrograde new criminal justice reforms which could see children as young as 14 tried as adults and sentenced to life in prison.
