As the blame game continues over the ‘accidental and regrettable’ support for One Nation’s controversial ‘It’s OK To Be White’ motion in the Senate yesterday, the ABC has been forced to apologise to their conservative overlords for accidentally broadcasting live images from inside their party room this afternoon.
The images, which depicted a large, smouldering train wreck surrounded by burning dad hats was only shown on screen around the country for a few seconds – but the damage was done, according to some Liberal MPs.
Speaking to The Advocate this afternoon after tonguing clean a six-pack of YoGo Gorillas, Mathias Cormann (who moonlights often as the Leader of the Government in the Senate) said the ABC’s mistake was unprofessional at the very least.
“And people ask why we cut their funding,” said the barrel-chested Belgian, wiping the remaining YoGo off his face with his tie.
“Completely unacceptable. To broadcast such sensitive and confidential information. On national television! That was supposed to be a private train wreck,”
“It’s caused us a great deal of embarrassment!”
Our reporter also reached out to the office of George Christensen for comment but apparently, his entire staff is occupied trying to get him unstuck from a handrail inside a National Party wing fire escape.
Early reports indicate the Queenslander fell and got his head stuck between the steps and the bottom rail of the balustrade.
Despite having a litre of canola oil poured over his head, he remains trapped.
Nobody at the ABC was willing to answer any of our questions either.
More to come.
