Smoothing The Pillow Of A Dying Institution

[A Deeper Dive into the ‘Listen Loudly, Act Strongly’ Review Report]

PRE-RAMBLE: There are generally 3 primary options for background ambience that play within my house:

1) Aquarium livestream of some variation 
2) Spotify on Shuffle
3) ABC News TV Channel 

Our beloved 3rd option recently became the hot topic of some national discussion and discourse. 

This week an independent report officially established an internal culture of systemic racism within the esteemed Australian Institution.
 
My first personal interaction with this culture was inside an ABC Newsroom at 13 or 14yrs old and they (amongst others) have been pissing me off with their unchecked bigotry ever since. 

So, naturally- this piece is about my feelings on The ABC being the last to the party on uncovering their own role in the problematic nature inherent of our entire Nation. 

Could Australia's Offical National Broadcasting Corporation finally being called out on it's behaviour be the wakeup call not just the media but our entire country, perhaps, needs? Maybe. 
Who knows? We always send them to voicemail, anyway, ha! 

!! The topics I am touching on today may be upsetting and confronting for some of you to approach, but I have no intentions of taking this one down [and have included a clickable table of contents to easily mark your spot with], so please take your time to rest if necessary and the post will still be here to finish  upon your return. !!
 
Enjoy xoxo ❤
