I've noticef that many of the programmes on the ABC end up being shown on the commercial channels years layer.
Maybe it's just that those who watch the ABC are years ahead of the others?

My earlier post was to simply state that people working/associated with the ABC ........leave and enter politics on the left. I am sure we all understand that politicians get elected.
I am "pretty" sure Barbara McCarthy did NOT read the news on Imparja. I "think" Imparja coverage is all of the NT EXCEPT Darwin and Palmerston. She left the ABC (as 7PM newsreader) and went immediately into the NT Parliament (seat of Arnhem).......lasted one term........went walkabout for 2-3 years ........then entered the senate.

Sorry if I misread your position on this subject, DMaxer.
On the subject of bias by ABC, for a current example, look at the articles today and yesterday about the cancellation of the French submarine deal, and being replaced with the AUKUS deal.
The ABC laments over the way Macron has been treated, and his anger towards our PM. Nothing in favour of the AUKUS deal. Sky reports on the strategic importance to Australia of the AUKUS deal, and that Macron is making such an issue over it for his own political purposes.
So, ABC is clearly anti government on the issue, while Sky is pro government. Clear left and right agendas. Under ABC's charter they have an obligation to be impartial. Yet they are only reporting the leftist view .... clearly a violation of their obligations.
I doubt anybody on here has the expertise to give a proper evaluation on either side of the argument. But I'll bet there are a few opinions based on what they have read.

The French have a short memory span, most of us will recall the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior in Auckland Harbour, killing a Dutch photographer.
You are right Bilbo, it was the ABC news. She was a good newsreader and presenter and very pretty as I recall.

She came from the Borroloola area. Certain families would support certain candidates. If you fell out with a family it could either cost you preselection or the seat.
She also did Stateline an NT version of 7.30 Report. She was a journo for years before that. She was good at interviewing people and asking difficult questions. No surprise to see her get a Senate position.

As well as the 41 above ground nuclear tests in the Pacific between 1966 and 1974.

No empathy for the French from me.
