This is Fauziah Ibrahim, who was co-hosting Weekend Breakfast 4 Oct 2026. Consider this portion starting at 7:12am AEDST.The ABC code of conduct states:4. Impartiality and diversity of perspectives. The ABC is guided by these hallmarks of impartiality:• a balance that follows the weight of evidence;• fair treatment;• open-mindedness; and• opportunities over time for principal relevant perspectives on matters of contention to be expressed.Just listen to Ibrahim - the woman who called lefties "lobotomised shitheads". I don't think this commentary on the National News Channel is at all appropriate.If you wish to lodge a complaint about something seen, heard or read on ABC. you can visit this link:• https://help.abc.net.au/hc/en-us/articles/360001153176-I-wish-to-lodge-a-complaint-about-something-I-saw-heard-or-read-on-ABC-What-can-I-do

Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the poor investors who are losing their (second and third) homes and will instead have to invest in shares! Remember, Newscorp owns a mortgage broker. Investor loans are more valuable than first home buyer loans. Why would they want housing reform when they can make more money?
