According to Hansard at 10.02 0n 18 June 2018 the Petitions Committee presented a number of petitions for consideration by the House of Representatives.
This was one
of them:
6)
Australian Broadcasting Corporation The federal government awards the
Australian Broadcasting Corporation $1 billion in funding per year. It is therefore
the responsibility of the ABC to represent the people and not to push an
ideological agenda onto the children of our great nation nor to bully the men
and women of Australia who object to said agenda. This is exactly what 2
productions of the ABC (ABC Comedy and ABC Me) have done with their recently
released "Internet Song", "What its like:" and
"Privilege Rap" among other examples. This behaviour is not only
morally reprehensible but is also in breach of Australian broadcasting
Corporation Act of 1983 which states: "to ensure that the gathering and
presentation by the Corporation of news and information is accurate and
impartial according to the recognized standards of objective journalism;".
We therefore ask the House to investigate the ABC for misuse of funds for the
purposes of pushing an agenda and to drastically cut the ABC's funding by 90%.
from 735 citizens (Petition No. EN0562)
The principal petitioner appears to be one Keiren Lincoln.
At 11.59am on the same day the Labor Member for Isaacs and Deputy Manager of Opposition Business, Mark
Dreyfus by leave, moved:
That so much of the
standing orders be suspended as would prevent the member for Isaacs from moving
the following motion immediately—that the House resolves that it will never
support the privatisation of the ABC and calls on the government to reverse its
latest damaging $83 million cut to the ABC.
The motion
was defeated by 10 votes.
