ABC staff chuck a tantrum while taxpayers foot the bill

The ABC should remember that when you’re bankrolled by the punters, it’s not a strike, it’s a tantrum.

From Hong Kong: While the rest of Australia is doing it tough under Labor’s cost-of-living catastrophe, state-owned media, the ABC, has staged its first strike in 20 years.

People forget that unions love striking when Labor is in power. Other governments are reluctant to give in to their selfish demands. But demanding more of your hard-earned cash to keep pumping out one-sided political sludge is, to quote my country mates, bull.

Apparently, the ABC even called in the BBC to fill in for them. Talk about a WOFTAM.

My latest in The Spectator Australia, ABC staff chuck a tantrum while taxpayers foot the bill.

These staffers aren’t exactly flipping burgers.

If ABC staff want to play union hardball, fine. But the rest of us should start asking, why are we still paying for this?… pic.twitter.com/qtPpeFmUug
