As if Australian taxpayers needed another excuse to demand the defunding of the ABC, a new and hilarious one has landed on its managing director’s desk.

It turns out that the ~~taxpayer-funded left-wing propaganda outfit~~ ‘national broadcaster’, for all its woke posturing, is in fact a hotbed of disgusting racism.

Well, far be it for my taxes to fund a systematically racist (its own words) toxic outfit.

> [ABC staff have been subjected to systemic racism](https://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/media/must-do-better-abc-boss-david-anderson-apologises-to-staff-over-racial-slurs/news-story/59a83d6ef56b427835cc1d50d5cabad9?ref=goodoil.news) including racial slurs, derogatory and offensive comments about their appearance, stereotyping and being mistaken for someone else because of their racial appearance, an explosive new report has found.  
>  
> Managing director **David Anderson** issued an apology to employees – both past and present – who experienced racism after the taxpayer-funded broadcaster released its independent racism review on Tuesday, 17 months after it was first announced.

I, for one, am shocked, *shocked*, that my taxes are funding a veritable KKK klonverse deep in the heart of harbourside Sydney. What does the ~~Imperial Wizard~~ managing director have to say for himself?

> He said anti-racism training will be rolled out at the ABC.

Not good enough. As a self-acknowledging systemic racist organisation, nothing less than total defunding and disbandment should be tolerated. Certainly not a load of *kumbaya* bullshit like this guff:

> The ABC has implemented 15 recommendations including that all staff read the report, the ABC commit to being proactively anti-racist, improve diverse representation at management level and better understand lived experiences by staff to help with storytelling and create culturally-safe support systems \[…\]  
>  
> “We are a workplace that values respect, and we expect it.”

Clearly not, by your own admission.

The irony is that this ‘anti-racism’ review was kicked off by one of the ABC’s most notorious race-baiters.

> Mr Anderson announced a racism review on May 21 last year following the fallout involving former Indigenous ABC host **Stan Grant**, a Wiradjuri, Dharawal and Gurrawin man, who said he had been subject to “sickening behaviour” over his coverage prior to King Charles III’s coronation.

No, Australians were sickened by *his* behaviour in using one of the most consequential events of a generation to bash his own, grievance-mongering soapbox. Grant, like so many other ‘journalists’ at the ABC, long ago ditched journalism for activism. Just as he has apparently ditched his Australian identity: a ‘Wiradjuri, Dharawal and Gurrawin man’? Everything but ‘Australian’.

But Stan ‘the Tan’ is nothing if not a thoroughgoing whinger.

> Grant said at the time he felt unsupported by his employer.  
>  
> “No one at the ABC – whose producers invited me onto their coronation coverage as a guest – has uttered one word of public support.

And why should they? He chose to belittle Australia’s head of state during a solemn occasion, and Australian taxpayers – who fund his lavish lifestyle – rightly took umbrage.

If you can’t stand the heat, sunshine, then stay in the tanning booth and keep your overpaid yap shut.
