Frankly its time that no more public monies be wasted on this one sided talkfest.
I agree, cut the funding for this waste of time show. Cut the funding to these waste of time and space student/protesters as well.
Socialists disrupt Q&A: prove the worst of the ABC and the far Left
Last night’s shambolic Q&A proves:
- just how easy it has been for the Left to infiltrate the Q&A audience, often claiming to be conservatives. At least two of the first three questions came from people who identified as Socialist Alternative speakers. Then the show was interrupted for several minutes by at least half a dozen sympathisers, chanting slogans and unfurling a banner. Other questioners sounded like fellow travellers. So much for the vetting. Q&A claimed the audience comprised Coalition voters 47 per cent, ALP 38, Greens 9. Utter rubbish.
- how foul a world would be led by socialists like these students. They were rude (one shouted “liar” at Christopher Pyne, misrepresenting Pyne’s opinion), they repeatedly heckled Pyne and shouted him down, they ended all discussion for several minutes by chanting and forcing Q&A to break transmission, they demanded others pay for their privileges, they lied in claiming our education system was only for the rich. Abusive, selfish thugs with no respect for the opinions of others. The kind of people who created the Gulag Archipelago.
It is the totalitarian instinct made manifest.
Healthy reactions:
“This demonstration displays the willingness of the extreme left to use disruptive and ferocious methods” Mr Lesh sid.
“Tonight’s protests are an embarrassment to students, and do not in any sense represent the regular student body.”
How did so many socialist radicals get into the Q&A audience? What is the vetting like? How often does this happen, when we’re told the audience is balanced but discover from the hooting it’s just another love-in of the Left?
