Keith Windschuttle denies existence of outrage at his ABC Board appointment

Thursday, 29 June 2006 12:34

Controversial historian Keith Windschuttle has dealt with the storm over his appointment to the ABC Board in his customary fashion, publishing an article in Quadrant denying its existence. "I have seen no proof of any outrage and can only conclude it does not exist," he said. "And I reject the suggestion by lesser, evidence-based historians that I should try reading newspapers, listening to the radio or checking my email."

Windschuttle finds that squinting helps him not to see indisputable historical fact

Howard said that the criticism of Windschuttle's appointment was typical of what he termed the 'black armband' view of the ABC board. "People shouldn't be wringing our hands over the negative aspect of the Government's appointments to the ABC Board," he said. "They should instead look at the positive aspects, such the fact that we haven't appointed Alan Jones yet."
The Friends of the ABC's reaction to Windschuttle's appointment was mixed. "Ordinarily, we would think this was a disgrace of the highest order," a member said. "But compared to Janet Albrechtsen and Ron Brunton, he's highly qualified and politically moderate."

It's understood that the next vacancy on the board will be Eddie McGuire, signing up for one of the only jobs in television he doesn't already hold. "We figure he has so many conflicts of interest that he'll be refreshingly independent," Communications Minister Helen Coonan said.

ABC staff are in favour of the appointment because unlike all previous appointees, McGuire has actually set foot inside a TV station before.

The Government said it had toyed with the idea of appointing someone independent who had relevant broadcasting experience and the best interests of the national broadcaster at heart, but ultimately decided not to overturn decades of ABC board tradition.

The Nike Air Griffey Max GD II is a mid-cut trainer/baseball shoe that features a full-length nike air kicks and sleek upper design given by the minimalistic swooshes wholesale nike shoes and 5-dot markings that were prevalent in late-90’s early 00’s Nike shoes. The Nike Air Griffey Max GD II is a Sneaker News nike kicks favorite as it was a notable topic of conversation last summer, and not much later the Griffey II was confirmed with spy-shots of Griffey II wholesale cheap nike kicks samples following soon after (talk about being ahead of the game). The black, varsity red, and white colourway is set to drop this month at Nike retailers, so keep your eyes peeled for these great retros, and stick with Sneaker News for all information you’ll ever need.
