The Great ABC Switch Off Threatens


Never thought that we’d see the day when The Great ABC Switch Off became a subject for discussion in our home.
At 9.30pm last night it happened ten minutes into “At Home With Julia”, so disgusted were we with a program which mocked the Prime Minister’s private life and cruelly held her non-politician life partner up to national ridicule.
There are some places media shouldn’t go and the intimacies of a public figure’s home life is one of those areas.
ABC1, ABC Executive Producer Debbie Lee, Quail TV Executive Producers Rick Kalowski and Greg Quail, Writers Amanda Bishop, Rick Kalowski and Phil Lloyd, Director Erin White, Series Producer Carol Hughes and ALP legal counsel Mr Anton Denby SC (yeah, we get the lol) all made a huge error of judgement as far as we’re concerned.
What on earth was Australia’s public broadcaster thinking?
