It surprises me that so many of the commenters on this site have been so unquestioning about the bona fides of this request from someone who claims to have worked at the ‘Australian Broadcasting Corporation’ (the ‘ABC’) for 20 years. The ABC is a fully-owned entity of the Australian Government and is the most powerful voice in the Australian electronic media. Ideologically it is far to the Green-Left of any media outlet in the U.S. and is probably on an ideological par with its Canadian equivalent, the CBC.

Most of the people commenting on Substack seem to be Americans, and like most Americans, they seem to be unaware that Australia had a radically different history to the U.S. and is therefore culturally & politically very different. American cultural assumptions do not apply. Please don’t get burnt.

In recent years the ABC has been aggressive in advancing a woke Green-Left ideological agenda and has used its considerable power to target conservative politicians and public figures to shape public perceptions in order to drive its victims from the political stage. Some of the stories have been ruinous for the individuals who are so targeted. Amongst these was the former conservative Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, who was removed by his party as PM in 2015 after just two years in office, following a vicious ongoing media assault that was stage-managed by the staff collective that actually runs the ABC.

There may be some ABC staff who don’t agree with their employer’s agenda of political persecution and the official narrative about the mRNA injectables being ‘Safe & Effective’, but it seems unlikely to me that they would have any sort of influential job, such as a ‘news editor’. For such a person to attempt to oppose the official narrative would invite ostracism or even dismissal. I suggest the Steve Kirsch should get someone on the ground in Australia to conduct a thorough inquiry into the bona fides of the person who has made the request before responding. I may be doing the individual a grave injustice, but something just doesn’t add up about this request. It has the the smell of a stitch-up to me.

Australia is part of the "Five Eyes" or whatever intelligence network and obviously Steve is monitored for his anti-vaxxer activities... Anyone who contacts Steve in such a role at ABC using their name and who actually believes what was written in the email would end up on the radar of the Australian govt.... This is either a media setup or a fake person...

Actually, most people don't question anything at all.

I, too, am sus of this editor - "hard evidence", "legitimate video". Where has he been for the last 3 years?

"News editor" "20 years" "WA" "ABC" - they must have a LinkedIn profile (albeit Steve was banned from there)... At the very least, their colleagues would + have some bylines and there can't be too many people in such positions at ABC in WA as that is not exactly a big population center...

That was my first thought upon reading it. What kind of journo is he/she? Asking Steve for "hard evidence"?! Stupid or something?

I'm only little old lady on my tablet and I've seen more hard evidence

that I can stomach. They can start with presenting the official data from UK, US and Europe and Israel etc. The Phizer "dump", there is

so much out there. But they chose not to even with minimal risk since the sources are legitimate and official so they wouldn't be risking much. They just lie and manipulate. Steve should ignore it. Full stop.

I agree, why is he back working at the ABC when he was let go when vaccines were mandatory?

I would not work for any one that required me to be vaccinate ... period!!!

And to go back to work there because the vaccine mandates were lifted?

Where is his integrity in the Toilet ... that's where he belongs ...

What can he do?

Do?

I suspect he is trying to con Kirsh. Evidence?

"hard evidence", "legitimate video". show a clear bias on his part;. Obviously, he did not bother to look at all of SK's Subs.

I don't think Steve cares at this point. He speaks the truth...they fear him.

I’m in West Australia and have suggested that this person can get in touch with me in strict confidence.

Exactly. The abc has been leading the government disinformation drive. How would someone influential not be on board with that and not even *know* that the abc is a propaganda channel? Also, everyone there will certainly be vaxxed or at least have a vax certificate (if you know what I mean.)
