Sooner or later, unless climate change drowns Canberra in the meantime, we can expect to see Prime Minister Abbott set about the ABC with axe, cudgel and, ideally, thousands of letters informing current employees of their need to find new jobs. This will come as a terrible shock to Jonathan Holmes, who will blame Alan Jones, and to all the other members of collective, who will not enjoy being reminded that "work" is what their viewers and listeners are doing while they enjoy three-month summers breaks. The move also will be denounced in the Fairfax press, where the locusts who have eaten the heart out of fairness, in-house intelligence and truth will have been looking to the ABC for their further, low-exertion employment.
