ABC calls One Nation ILLEGITIMATE

One Nation has won the seat of Farrer with close to 60% of the two party preferred vote in a democratic election. Last night the ABC, our $1 billion a year taxpayer funded national broadcaster, implied that One Nation was an illegitimate political party. This morning on Insiders the ABC allowed commentators to declare One Nation was “at its core” “a racist and bigoted” party. The “impartial” ABC failed to challenge or even debate the claim. Other supposedly “impartial” media outlets have published similar articles, dismissing and demonising the millions of Australians who have said they would vote for One Nation. These people don’t get it. We live in a democracy. Labor, Liberal, the media, the academics and the lobbyists don’t get to decide who represents Australian people. No one except the people of Australia get to decide who is “legitimate” and worthy of representing them in Parliament.
