@ABCmediawatch Thanks to everyone who complained about this.
The ombudsman suggested that the program was in fact "balanced" because after 2 hours of Dick Smith's uninterrupted lecture, a random listener, SimonHaC, happened to ring in with facts.
Such utter garbage.

This is what I'll scream until my last breath to every bit of anti-trans hysteria whipped up by the likes of Rowling & the co-opted brainwashed brigade
Women and girls are killed, raped and assaulted in their homes and in domestic places familiar to them - not in public toilets
Rupert Murdoch is certainly a prick but the far bigger failure in the Australian media now is the complete implosion of @ABCaustralia as a truth-telling and trustworthy force because unlike Rupe they don’t even have fascism or fossil fuel profits as a fucking excuse for their pro-genocide, anti-science, lying bullshit.
Here’s trump admitting to Joe Rogan that he’s paying for fake polls to show that he’s ahead. Also admitting to an incredibly low sample rate in these bogus polls. Everything about trump is staged and fake except the criminality, the treason, and the hate. https://t.co/B8oIdpugd0
As of yesterday, I have decided to resign from my role as a columnist for The Washington Post — a newspaper that I love. In a moment like this, everyone needs to make their own decisions. This is the reasonfor mine. 🧵
@JayJay91341991 At a guess, ramping up to 3rd world levels of land clearance, less restrictions on his pals in the property development industry, cutting workers rights?
@MoonChannelOne @TeaPainUSA The smart extremely rich racist people backing Trump, and trying to steer his campaign have a "secret plan" with Johnson, but they made the mistake of telling that orange, dementia-addled fool about it, and now everyone knows.
While we're on it, the Commissioner & Dep Commissioners of the #NACC receive (free) annual luxury Qantas Chairman's Lounge membership.
That sort of soft bribery & persuasion should never be accepted, or ever be acceptable in people running an investigative anti-corruption body.
It is outrageous to place the blame on the Palestinians for yet another massacre of civilians, including UN staff, carried out by Israel in a ‘safe zone’, a UN school - all based on unevidenced "human shielding" accusations (i.e Israel’s logic of genocide). And with this, we are at 70% of UNRWA schools attacked by Israel since October.
I can’t believe how far Germany seems ready to go to protect Israel’s genocidal campaign.

I want to tell the truth about the media on the eve of the Trump-Harris debate so that no one will be surprised afterward.
The media will not declare Harris the winner even if she makes Trump look like an old washed-out politician. The best they will allow is, for her to stand her ground and declare it a draw, and the worst will be calling it a complete disaster for her.
The media has never judged Trump by the same standard as mainstream politicians. This is after he was president for 4 years. Any other politician acting as he does would have been laughed out of the race a long time ago.
The media wants a neck-and-neck race won by Trump. they want this for ratings, and ownership of media wants tax cuts and regressive policies. Make no mistake, the media are absolutely thumbing the button for Trump and frankly always have been.

One million people turned out in London to protest the genocide.
One day historians will note how powerful governments brought on their collapse by pushing a genocide up hill for a small maniacal apartheid state.
They may be right to ask why.
Trump thinks people claiming asylum come from asylums. That's why he keeps bringing up Hannibal lecter.
It's that simple. He is just incredibly stupid.
@JoJoFromJerz The degree to which the media sanitizes Trump's message is outrageous. The media is nothing more than Mr. Clean to Trump's vile toilet of word salad.
Mike Pence is not voting for Trump.
Mark Esper is not voting for Trump.
John Bolton is not voting for Trump.
John Kelly, James Mattis, Mark Milley, H.R. McMaster, Rex Tillerson, Dan Coats and even Bill f’ng Barr have called him unfit.
His VP, his AG, both his Secs of Defense, a Sec of State, two of his NSAs, his DNI, a Chief of Staff and a Chairman of the Joint Chiefs all oppose his candidacy.
Who in their right mind would look at all of that and think, “Yeah, that’s the guy I want in charge of our nukes.”
Who?!?
In the last 24 hours, Trump wished the Virgin Mary Happy Birthday, pitched Hulk Hogan’s beer, talked about Hannibal Lecter, said he will imprison people he thinks are cheating, called Musk ‘Leon,” forgot Burgum’s name, called Brian ‘Briar,’ Keystone ‘Keystown,’ & Tampon ‘Tampom,’ said if he loses Israel will cease to exist, nuclear war will begin, this will be our last election, and the CO Gov will flee the state, posted an ad for his digital NFTs, ranted about Kamala standing on a box at the debate, and wrapped it up by saying schools are performing trans surgeries on students.
@johnisitme@elonmusk Trump is confused about who is running against him in the presidential elections. Don't think he has the cognitive capacity to organise another failed insurrection outside the US.
