If all MPs are serious about reforming the culture, go further;
Fix Question time, axe Dorothy Dixers, make Ministers answer questions. All MPs - stop your waffling and repetitive spin - pls just answer the question, or say you won't and move on.

- Chris Mitchell's rant today failed to cite examples when bagging AM for its COVID coverage. He also failed to disclose his stablemate SkyNews Aust has been banned by YouTube for a week, for spreading disinformation. @abcnews is the news you can trust.
