ABC boss Hugh Marks has announced yet another major shake up at the public broadcaster, declaring the independent ombudsman which evaluates complaints will be replaced with a group chat with Gina Rinehart and the Murdoch family. Marks explained that this new text chat approach will streamline the complaints handling process that he already follows. “The ABC ombudsman is too focused on what is in the public interest,” said Marks, “but what about the interests of billionaires?” “All they want to do is destroy the ABC and democracy, and they have every right to do that.” “We shouldn’t just be listening to them, we should be putting them above any rules and processes that exist.”
