Have you watched ABC lately or at least in the last 6 months or so, if you have then you’ll “get it”
But what is “it” ?
And yes, pretty much daily.
You can still be saved but I’ll let you figure it out 
You expect the ABC to be partisan to either side of politics by hosting a fundraiser?
How can they print Independent Always beneath the masthead of their daily papers, yet host a fundraiser for the Liberal Party?

The one thing I don’t understand about this story is why are only reporters from Nine’s newspaper division speaking up. I have a hard time believing no one at Nine News doesn’t have any concerns/problems about their company hosting a political fundraiser…

it’s a bit rich of The Australian questioning Nine’s “independent” stance.

They’re probably fuming they didn’t get to host the event!

And an SMH journalists came crying to Aunty. As they say, birds of the same feather, flock together.

So is that Marks putting blame solely on… Costello?

Marks and Costello should resign; clearly they thought it was a good idea and they need to go if Nine want to at all dispute Simon Birmingham’s statement that Nine are LNP supporters.

Well somebody was in charge / gave the final approval? Therefore Marks himself saying it was a “mistake” is laughable isn’t it. (Sorry if Im not wording it right)

If so that’s embarrassing
I agree that there are likely to be people at Nine News who’d have serious reservations about a political fundraiser being held in their studios.
But remember who the state MP for the seat of Willoughby is again?
