Seeing that Beazley issued a reply to the media, I imagine he would have
gladly taken up the right of reply - if there had been one. The Howard
government has made a lot of changes to the rules and regulations of the
ABC - all to the benefit of the Libs, of course - and to nobble the Opposition
as much as possible. None of this has been publicised as far as I know.

But I wonder if Beazley would take up the offer to reply anyway? Given that the Libs are apparently having some success in painting Labor as negative and endlessly carping, perhaps he fears that a critical response would be too easily cast in this negative light? Susanne hit the nail on the head - the need for an alternative model. Labor don't seem to have one and I guess will go to the next election just promising some sweetener-type adjustments to the legislation that has just gone through. In terms of responding, it leaves them between a rock and a hard place. Still, none of this excuses the fact that Labor apparently haven't been offered equal time - I guess it must be their ABC and not for all of us. Tim-----Original Message----- |
