non australian scrolling down all. Please tell me this is australian broadcasting company or something and not american broadcasting company that disney owns???
@HubertManne @sqgl Yes, the linked article is about the Australian ABC, rather than the American one.
The two entities are not connected. The Australian ABC is a government-owned public broadcaster, while the American one is owned by Disney.
It's basically claiming a former Murdoch executive, who was appointed to manage the Australian ABC, is still working to promote his former boss' political and business interests.
That sounds like a conflict of interests for a public broadcaster.
Is this even legal for a public broadcaster?
