The ABC of Peter Dutton and the sacking of a journalist

The ABC of Peter Dutton and the sacking of a journalist

We examine the return of Parliament in 2025, the government’s shelving of the Environmental Protection Agency, and stalled gambling advertising legislation that may never advance. There’s a lot of announcements but drawing parallels to Morrison-era inertia, we question whether the government is stuck rehashing old plans rather than delivering genuine reform, highlighting stalled measures like truth in advertising legislation. We then explore the Liberal Party’s push to revive business lunch tax deductions and whether this signals complacency or overreach. We also focus on the ABC’s disproportionate coverage of Peter Dutton and assess how this conservative tilt erodes public trust, and consider how the broadcaster might engage younger audiences. Finally, we address the Lattouf v ABC unfair dismissal case, illustrating how lobby groups are silencing journalists and threaten free expression.
