Usihlalo we-ABC usezwakalise ukukhathazeka ngempilo yentando yeningi emhlabeni wonke, ecaphuna u-JD Vance owayeyisekela likamongameli wase-US mayelana nokuncipha kokuthenjwa kwezikhungo njengesixwayiso ezinhlanganweni zabezindaba zase-Australia.
Enkulumweni yakhe yangoLwesithathu ebusuku, uKim Williams ukhulume ngeqhaza lezintatheli kwa-ABC nakwezinye izitolo zezindaba njengabavikeli beqiniso nokuziphatha.
Uphinde wakhala ngenkulumo yomphakathi evame ukuthukuthela, evuma ngekhanda inkulumo yowayengumengameli waseMelika uDonald Trump njengesibonelo sokuthi inkulumompikiswano isuke kuphi.
“Susa iqiniso futhi uthole umdlalo oklabalasayo odala futhi udlulise intukuthelo nenzondo,” kusho uMnu Williams phakathi ne-Sir John Monash Oration yaminyaka yonke eSydney.
“Abantu abamemezayo bedlula bodwa, bethi izindonga zingakwazi ukukhipha izitha, ukuthi ukuphuza i-bleach kungalapha i-COVID, ukuthi konke okungahambi kahle esizweni sethu, emphakathini wethu nasezimpilweni zethu kuyiphutha lomunye umuntu futhi kumele kuphindiselwe.
“Izinqumo ezisekelwe emangeni – izinto ezenziwe nje – ziyindlela yokubhekana nenhlekelele yenqubomgomo.”
Ekuqhubekiseni indima yabezindaba njengomgcini-sango kanye nokuhlola amaqiniso emphakathini, usihlalo we-ABC ubhekise kulowo ozongenela ukhetho lukaMnu uTrump, u-JD Vance.
Encwadini yakhe yesikhumbuzo ka-2016 u-Hillbilly Elegy, lowo ongenele isikhundla sokuba yiphini likamongameli uthe bangamaphesenti ayisi-6 kuphela abavoti baseMelika abakholelwa ukuthi abezindaba “bathembeke kakhulu”.
“Lokhu akukhona ukungathembeki kwenqubomgomo kahulumeni, okunempilo kunoma iyiphi intando yeningi,” kubhala uMnu Vance encwadini yesikhumbuzo.
“Lokhu kuwukungabaza okujulile kwazo kanye izikhungo zomphakathi wethu. Futhi kuya ngokuya kujwayelekile.”
Ecaphuna lesi siqephu esingenhla, uMnu Williams uthe uyazibuza ukuthi ngabe uMnu Vance useyiguqule kangakanani imibono yakhe kule minyaka eyisishiyagalombili selokhu kwashicilelwa le ncwadi, kodwa lawo mazwi abe yiqiniso.
“Ephuzwini elibalulekile, uqinisile – zona kanye izikhungo zomphakathi wethu zilahlekelwa ukwethenjwa ngumphakathi ingxenye enkulu ngoba akusekho ukuvumelana okubanzi mayelana namaqiniso,” kusho uMnu Williams.

Izintatheli kumele ziphinde zizibophezele ekugxileni
Umnu Williams, othathe izintambo zokuhola ibhodi lezokusakaza emphakathini ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, naye uqaphe abanye abasebenzi bakhe ngesikhathi ethula inkulumo yakhe.
Lesi sikhulu esihlonishwayo sezindaba, esithathe iminyaka emihlanu njengosihlalo we-ABC, sithe zonke izintatheli kumele zizinikele ekuzimiseleni.
Uveze okuhlangenwe nakho kwesinye isikhulu sezindaba, owayengumhleli weWashington Post uMartin Baron.

“Njengoba zikhulele ezweni elinezinkundla zokuxhumana ezigcwele yonke indawo kanye nepolitiki yokuzazisa, ezinye zezintatheli ezisencane zika-Baron beziqala ukuzibona njengezintatheli ezinohlonze kodwa njengezishoshovu nezishoshovu,” kusho uMnu Williams.
“Becasulwe ukungalingani okusobala emphakathini waseMelika, okuqubuke emikhankasweni yeBlack Lives Matter kanye ne-#MeToo, bebefuna ukubekela eceleni imibono engathi shu ngokuhlala ngaphezu kwalo mbango, nokubhalisela iphephandaba labo kulo mbango.
“Njengoba kuyisilingo sokufuna ukuthatha uhlangothi, ngicabanga ukuthi sonke kwabezindaba nasezikhungweni zamasiko kufanele simelane.”
UMnu Williams uxwayise ukuthi imiphumela yokwenza okuhlukile mibi.
“Uma iqiniso lihlobene, intando yeningi isengozini,” esho.
“Ngokubona kwami, ukubheka izinto ngendlela efanele akufanele neze kuphazamiseke kunoma iyiphi inhlangano yabezindaba, ikakhulukazi ephethwe ngumphakathi njenge-ABC.”
Izingcindezi zezimali ezibeka engcupheni izinhlangano zabezindaba
UMnu Williams uthe izintatheli ze-ABC “zikwazi ukwenza umsebenzi oncomekayo” futhi “ziwukhombise kaningi”, futhi ufuna “ukukhulisa amandla obuntatheli obuqotho” esikhungweni esixhaswe ngabakhokhintela.
Kodwa uxwayise ngengcindezi yezezimali kanye nosongo abaluletha ebuntathelini obuqinile.
Usihlalo we-ABC ukhombe esinqumweni sesikhondlakhondla sezobuchwepheshe i-Meta sokuqeda izivumelwano zezentengiselwano nezinhlangano zezindaba zase-Australia, ezibiza amashumi ezigidi zamaRandi, njengemisebenzi eyingozi kanye nokusebenza kwezinkampani zabezindaba.
“Kudingeka imibono emisha ukubuyisela impilo yezohwebo ezindlini zethu zezindaba,” esho.
“Ngiyethemba ukuthi bazophumelela – abayisishiyagalolunye, abayisikhombisa, iNews Corp, abadlali abancane abazimele abafana noSchwartz noCrikey.
“Zonke ziyizingxenye ezibalulekile zentando yeningi yethu.
“I-ABC ayiphikisani nezinkundla zezindaba zezentengiselwano – sikumbimbi nabo ukuze sakhe isakhamuzi sentando yeningi esinolwazi.”
UMnu Williams uphinde wathatha ngokuswayipha ukuziphatha kwesikhulu sezindaba uKeith Murdoch, onguyise kasozigidigidi weNews Corp usihlalo uRupert Murdoch, njengoba ekhulume “izindaba ezingamanga” ngesikhathi seMpi Yezwe I.
Uthe uMnu Murdoch kanye nentatheli yezempi uCharles Bean bakhankasele ukuthi uGeneral Sir John Monash asuswe esikhundleni sokulwa e-Europe, besebenzisa imibiko yabo evela phambili ukunxenxa uhulumeni.
“Kwakuyimbudane ephuma ngaphandle – umkhankaso wokubulala izidumbu owabhidlika lapho uNdunankulu uBilly Hughes, ehambele umugqa ongaphambili, etshelwa … ukuthi uMonash wayehlonishwa yibo bonke abasebenza naye,” kusho uMnu Williams.
“Ubuwula bukaBean no-Murdoch babuyisibonelo esihle sobuwula bokusabalalisa izindaba ezingamanga kanye nokusekela izinqumo ekubandlululeni nasekuzifuneni kwakhe.”
