- The Australian’s Media Writer Sophie Elsworth says ABC’s Q+A has become almost “completely irrelevant”.
Ms Elsworth told Sky News host Andrew Bolt that the show is a “left-leaning hate fest” of the right side of politics.
“And people don’t watch it anymore”.
Grant has become a Pathetic Woke Excuse for a journalist.
Only the most woke in the country, ie. white, wealthy, inner-city'ites, could watch one minute of his smug, sanctimonious, "I've overcome hate and discrimation" mug without wanting to put a brick through the TV.
Some lefties are a bit of fun, for a few minutes.
But any sane person will see "Stan Grant" in the show titles, and avoid it.
Defund the ABC. It’s time to stop the waste.
Bring it on!

@@richardsaunders3743at least it provides a balance, even if it is a biased one.
Remember that commercial enterprises are equally, if not worse, biased information sources.
We need both, in fact the more perspectives the better.
Censoring opinions one does not agree with is definitely the wrong way.
Keep pointing out flaws in arguments, but without the original argument this would not be possible.
Be extremely careful what we wish for.

Stan Grant is a victim, he has had a terrible time, getting jobs all over the place on high pay too......... he's ridiculous.
He’s pathetic. Such a wuss … 😂
He may get beter once he reaches puberty
Years ago he was OK, then he realised if he darkened his skin and became an indigenous activist there was money to be made! The blokes an idiot! Tip to Grant, stop using so much fake tan!!
Yes, but he is a man of colour. Even more so nowadays with the lotions he likes to use.
Yeah the poor bugger had such a hard time with DEI. I remember when he first started. His attitude was very different then.
Defund the ABC now.

What, and spend it on that garbage Sky News Australia. Your’e a joke.
@scificubed Have a look at the ratings pal!!
@daveswain2141 Unlike the ABC Sky, it is self funding and not funded by the taxpayer. You and your ABC are the jokes!!
But not to fund UN agencies like UNWRA!!
A guy I went to Uni with went straight to the ABC. We lost touch for years but happened to reconnect (briefly) during COVID. I asked him why the ABC was so blatantly Left leaning and he came straight out with, 'someone has to even up Murdoch's right wing media. When I told him that wasn't the ABC's role, he replied 'nobody at the ABC would agree with that statement!'
No shit! Us normal people know that. That's why their ratings falling at taxpayers expense. Will never watch, listen or have anything to do with ABC. Left wing loonies!
Exactly!
ABC employees are perfectly entitled to their strange views, but they're not entitled to peddle or propagandise those views with public money.
It's not ABC's role to counter the " wicked and evil Murdoch Press" as they see it.
That's the role of other commercial media like the Turnbull Times, AFR or SMH.
ABC funding must depend on scrupulous impartiality. If its activist employees won't or can't be impartial, then they must seek work in the privately funded media.
@@franktully3065 I agree completely. The ABC is nothing more than a cabal of left wing activists on the public purse. It should be called ‘Public Sector TV!’We need the public sector, we don’t need the ABC.
Ideally, ALL media should be neither left or right. Media should strive to be neutral bringing unbiased information and news. We are a democracy, don't bring us YOUR biases, bring us balanced information. That should be their Oath.
@@stevetaylor8298I don't agree.
It seems quite reasonable to me that commercial media can take a particular political stance or view.
As long as they're not deliberately deceitful, why shouldn't they?
The issue is "our" ABC is publicly funded.
Their access to public money must be strictly tied to scrupulous impartiality.
Stan Grant is not a historian, he's a journalist. His point of view is largely irrelevant, more opinion than substance based around substantive research.
Journalist or activist?
@@paullohrisch257 Hard to tell these days - I would say activist, seems to have a politicised view of history which would be more consistent with activism. There's a vast wealth of historic data, detailed anthropology and archaeology along with very important genetic and linguistics studies that shine a real light on the history of human activity on the Australian land mass. However, the ALP and activists are not interested in this as evidenced through claims of stolen land etc. The reality is very simple, aboriginal linguistic groups didn't own land, that was a concept alien to them because they viewed themselves as belonging to the land.
Wasn't tan Stan saved from an abusive home and raised by whites
@VK6AB- As I understand, when you belong to a clan, tribe etc, everything is shared. There is no concept of "this is mine only". But I don't see these so called aboriginals sharing their wealth around with their clan. Stan would be very wealthy - probably a millionaire. Lidia will have been paid over a million and a half by the time her six years are up. We sit here listening to these types who accept all the benefits of our society but criticize it constantly. They aren't here to help their own people - just themselves. If the were "given their land back" my bet is they'd still want all the benefits of western society to go along with it. I wonder if Lidia, who is Aboriginal, English and Irish decent has even bothered to learn her any of her "native language".
When they say "white colonists", do they realise that most of the first fleet were convicts who were bought here against their own will?
Jacinta, who I admire, is far more interested in the plight of her own people but understands that the world has changed a lot since 1770 or 1788.
@@paullohrisch257 Jacinta and Warren are outstanding they have a very good grasp of the harm caused by activists particularly those that ride roughshod over elders and those that bring in new members with very suspect to non-existent ties to land and community.

Australia has one of the most tame histories of all..
We didn’t have a war, we didn’t enslave, we didn’t do so many things that the other countries have done.
Time to move on….
Most Aussies were dragged kicking and screaming in the hulls of death ships to build the infrastructure of a great land that now those before us are able to enjoy. Feels nice to be appreciated, my grandad also fought in New Guinea protecting all Australians, as I said, nice to be appreciated
@@saltydog3099 yeah my grandfather fought in Africa and New Guinea.
I served in the military. Yes as punishment for stealing bread our ancestors were shackled and sent across the seas. Earning their freedom in this new beautiful country.
My point was at the founding of this nation was tame compared to so many other nations.
@@jribeye1818 I agree wholeheartedly, if anything the majority of the White Aussie colonialists could be compared to the slave trade in the US, but where is the sympathy for those convicts? One of my ancestors was brought to Hobart in 1836 for stealing a piece of cloth and made to slave to build Hobart, I am a proud 63 yo Aussie, I might be white but who cares, only those who wish to play a victim card or act as if they are virtuous, but all they are doing is looking for prejudice where it doesn't exist, get over it!
i'm with the others commenting here. I am descended from the first and second fleets.. google William Butler (scarboro) and Jane Forbes.. poor old Jane the second youngest female to be transported.. a pickpocket arrested at fourteen held in hulks arrived aged sixteen pregnant to a sailor.. had five kids all told before she passed away at the age of 21 after falling in a fire..then there were the irish catholic ancestors, discriminated against by the red coats, and yes all those ancestors that fought in the great wars.. and died. including gallipoli and egypt. My own great grandfather with the Light Horse. so yea.. no they didn't do much.
@@saltydog3099 that was pretty much what my original comment was saying.

My once beloved ABC [ 30 years ago:( ] is super psychologically toxic and a deadly poison for the mind, if honesty and integrity has any meaning to your soul.
I Years ago I, too, once watched and listened quite a lot to "our" ABC...No longer.
I doubt many ABC employees understand the concept of impartiality, or why it's crucial for ongoing public funding of the ABC. If they want to be activists they should seek employment in the commercial sector, for example, at the Turnbull Times, AFR or SMH.

Defund the ABC.
I thought sun beds was banned .. ?
How long does the taxpayer have to fund this propaganda mouthpiece for a bunch of grifters in Canberra ?
They dont need a conservative, a lefty or a centrist. They need a journalist. Its not supposed to matter where on the political spectrum a journalist lies, as they're supposed to remain impartial. The only thing they need to talk about is the facts. Their own political beliefs are meant to be irrelevant.
If not the history of Australia stan would have nothing
I remember when Stan Grant bullied Mary Kostakidis. She was twice the journalist he could ever dream of being. That's something which should be publicised.
Stan's the wrong colour 😂
😂
Karvelis is appalling … 🤡
The ABC's Q&A became irrelevant the instant that Stan Grant threw out an audience member for asking a question.
$1.14 billion tax dollars, 3,900 employees produced $100 million of content in 2023.
Perhaps we should only be subsidising the ABC to the tune of $100 million if that's their worth
Even that is worthless propaganda drivel.
Pull the plug on it altogether, the government can start an online ABC for a fraction of the cost.....
I am a legal immigrant since 1969. My family assimilated. I have a grandson who is part aboriginal. People leave your past behind. My family didn't have an easy life but we embraced Australia.
The winds of change are blowing.
Sophie: being considered Conservative these days IS simply being the middle ground - it is merely being anywhere to the right of the extreme left of mainstream media and politics.
Anglo Saxons should be incredibly proud. We invented the magna carta, liberalism, ended slavery, brought science and medicine to the world. We are the greatest force for good the world has ever seen.
Asians have also advanced all the above with improvements yet the Anglos may have introduced it as you said. In many rural communities, they're 95% white and the only diverse race is two Chinese families who are related to each other, and maybe one Aboriginal family who go to the regional city like Ballarat or Shepperton
Asians are good at copying (badly) and communism. That’s about it.
Sorry Sophie, but even in regional Australia, the ABC is not the force it once was. We in regional Australia, funnily enough, are not as backward as those in the cities might think we are. In fact, we are probably more awake than our city counterparts as it appears that is they who vote for the Teals and the Greens.
Like the thumbnail Grant gives the same dopey look that Albo does when you ask him a simple logical question.
They the lefties are in need of an Australian version of Trump, to deflect all their troubles, and issues upon.
Stan never eaten Bungarra ever.
I cant stand watching the show. Let's hope Dutton gets in a defunds the ABC. It's well past time.
He'll cut the funding
Where has the middle ground gone!?? Today you either have to be a conservative or a lefty. Very tribal!
Couldn't agree more. ALL the media plays this game, and it's a very negative atmosphere here nowadays.
Just say your Libertarian it confuses most people and those that know you know they know.
We are all now being pushed into "picking a side" Are we heading for an end of days type scenario maybe? If so, make sure the side you are supporting, is the correct one.
People who are too far left or right are actually mentally ill and think it's their God given right to project their toxicity onto everyone. Sadly those consumed with far left insanity seem to dominate the narrative
You don’t have to be anything. Be an abstainer.
if anyone would know about becoming irrelevant.. stan would be the man to know.
Tan GRANT needs to seriously have a look in the mirror. He is a whining example of the Aboriginal industry, if your disatisfied Tan and the rest of your group don't accept the handouts given by the present and future Australian governments. I personally think and having only seen the shorts of this alleged doco that Tan GRANT is looking for allies in the Islamic community to attempt to change the constitution of Australia, the "Voice" didn't get in but the whiners will not stop at a "No" majority vote. I haven't watched the ABC for years, perhaps only the quiz show "Hard" as the host himself takes the piss out of the ABC.
My respect for the ABC is so low it’s next to dinosaur bones.
Dinosaur Bones are always worth looking at every now and then in a museum, but watch out for the Anti-Christian propaganda where they believe in evolution and say that the earth is old
Stan Grant is simply a professional victim….
He's made a career out of that.
Coppertone Stan
The ABC is the gold standard for balanced, well informed and researched programming, oh and i forgot, very impartial🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 really?? The 🔤 is a joke 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🎪
Why do we fund the ABC? Why have a state funded tv/radio station at all? There are plenty of diverse private media outlets so Why ABC?
Where is E-Karen for Stan
E-Karen stands for Palestine I bet. They're lefty even though Scomo set her up
Why does Stan seem to have more colour than I remember him? How did that happen?

Stan Grant has a huge chip on his shoulder.

Sophie is right to be concerned where Grant's new documentary will be shown. I've met young people who think Australia had slavery and that women weren't allowed to vote until Whitlam gave that right! However, the results of the 1967 referendum and the % who voted YES are not taught to them and I doubt Stan Grant will ever mention that.
Q&A have been far left for years and very one sided in their views. Grant is becoming his own anchor sinking his own career.
Where would the lucky country be without colonisation? Or any other western civilised country be? Those who are still playing the victim card should donate all their wealth and assets which were derived from the benefits of colonisation.

Paul Barry, Good riddance. Never a fan
Burden on the Taxpayer SELLSELL SELL ABC ABC ABC.
Twisted form of Australian history from a questionable former journalist produced to improve indigenous status & decry white settlement despite value to complainants
What? The ABC being one-sided and biased? Really? Nah get outta here. They provide balanced and fair information for all Australians. Don’t they?
Appointing Janine Perrett, a credible business reporter and long-time Sky News journalist, to helm Media Watch permanently would be a good start.
I thought Perrett was kicked out of Sky News because she wasn't conservative enough, like Stan Grant. Grant worked at Sky News too
ALMOST?

Completely irrelevant sums up the ABC. Stop wasting 1 billion dollars of taxpayers money each year on the dribble from ABC.😊
While channel surfing this week I saw Lidia Thorpe on a gourmet show hosted by Anebella Crabb. Talking nonsense of course and I thought what the hell, more of my taxpayer money going on irrelevant people and irrelevant subjects.
Anabella's beautiful pink woke glasses stood out as real winner.
Instead of asking a horrible person on the show why didn't the ABC bring a few homeless people on the show and give them a say and a good feed.
The only good show is Back Roads, so in my opinion you could sell this show to 9 or 7 and abolish the rest of the ABC.
imagine how many Hospitals , Schools and Housing Australia could build with the ABC budget ? Its our money , its our choice.

There were about 7 different colonies yes but Cook "discovered" most of them as you said from SA upward along the east coast where he destined the first fleet by Arthur Philip to go to Botany Bay, NSW colony for them to arrive 26th January 1788
@@jaidentslgl2753 It's funny how no one talks about the French and when they were in Australia. How many days were the French always behind the English at sea? Also, everyone discounts the Spanish. And no live in Australia 65,999 years ago nor 250,000 years ago. It is imposable..
@shaunllewellyn6058 Well I'm also now sceptical that indigenous peoples have been here for what now 250k years ago. Wait until the experts say that Indigenous people have lived here for 4 million years before Cook. In reality it's 4000 years or less because the world according to the bible is 6000 years old. It says the earth was created in 7 days where God rested on Day 7, and many parts on Genesis occurred in 2000BC
I've never really thought of myself as conservative politically but I guess I am now. I am really very tired of these people who bash the country that gave them everything. Ungracious ingratitude in the extreme. By the way Mr. Grant, the only racism I see today is the favourable bias & treatment given to aborigines. I grew up in the bush & am keenly aware of the agendas & preferential treatment given to that race of people. You should be embarrassed to ask for this favouritism because it says at it's most basic that aboriginals aren't smart enough to get into universities or jobs etc. without the help of the white man. I am absolutely not a racist & I'm sick of hearing about how badly racist Australia is. It's not. At least not the way Stan Grant likes to think it is. I can attest to at least 60 years of government subsidies & assistance that has made little to no difference to actual or perceived problems aboriginal australians may have. I believe there is an entire industry feeding off manufactured racism in this country & they get very cranky when called out on it. You've been crying victimhood for a long, long time now. Something must be wrong with you if it's been around for that long.
@trevordickson8617, I`m not from the bush but been around long enough to know what you`re saying is correct. Billions have been spent on the aboriginal industry over many years in this country. I`m sure it has made a difference to some of the indigenous but a lot of them will never see the benefits because of the corruption that`s obviously endemic within these indigenous organizations and for others, simply a case of you can`t help those that won`t help themselves.
