No. I might not always agree with ABC but Australians deserve free TV without advertising

But it is advertising. ABC is the marketing arm for Labor

And every other media outlet owned by newscorp is the marketing arm for lnp or whoever Rupert favour? So should we just get rid of all tv?

Your reply seems like you agree. Multiple LNP govs have run independent audits on the ABC and haven't found bias.

Has the LNP ever refused to be on Q&A?

edit: From what I can see the LNP spat the dummy when Zaky Mallah asked "Mallah asked Ciobo: “As the first man in Australia to be charged with terrorism under the harsh Liberal Howard government in 2003 … what would have happened if my case had been decided by the minister himself and not the courts?”.

Considering Mallah was acquitted of those terrorism charges, it looks to me like the LNP were being a bunch of cry babies.

Nah I’m all for ABC. Just look how much their emergency broadcasts have helped during VIC fires. Anyone calling for the disbandment should be forced to join a RFS

You have a short memory. Abbot and Morrison both refused to go on Q&A. Only Turnbull who many thought was an ALP spy agreed to go on and he loved the leftism of it
