Laura Tingle comments, page-626

No one is disputing her freedom of speech..but what needs to be stated is that Tingle is paid by the taxpayers of Australia to be objective and balanced in her views. Now in a private setting once again she can say whatever she likes and does. But as a taxpayer I would suggest that she find employment elsewhere as she is completely biased in her views and does not fit the criteria of her employment. And at a rate of $500000 a year I would suggest she is grossly overpaid. Tingle has been around a long time and has never really cut the mustard. But it seems it is time to go. Truth is she could not make a living in a private enterprise because like you she is past her use by date. If the ABC were fair dinkum they would sack her.
