On the contrary, the ABC fawned over Mallah as though he was a particularly sensitive and needy celebrity.
The former Goulburn prison resident was collected by an ABC-supplied minibus in Western Sydney prior to Monday’s broadcast.
As many as five senior ABC producers helped Mallah prepare for the show.
Host Tony Jones even whipped up a brief Mallah biography to accompany the young man’s appearance. And then the minibus dropped Mallah back home, all at taxpayer expense.
So let me get this straight.
The ABC give Mallah, convicted of death threats agains ASIO officers and various firearm offences, 8 minutes of air time during which he recommends 2 senior female journalists should be gang-banged.
Has the ABC lost the plot?
When an Islamic extremist who has called for female journalists to be “gang-banged” on live television and threatened to murder senior security officials wants to have his say on Q&A, the ABC not only welcomes him into the audience — for at least the third time, by the way — but they do everything possible to make his visit as amiable as possible.
He's just as erratic and threatening as Man Monis, and look what happened there. The ABC see fit to give him air time? What the F?
Why is the sisterhood not baying for his blood over his gang-banging comments?
