Israel's Tied Election, ABC Caves to Right-Wing Pressure, and News Corp's Civil War

The ABC at Senate estimates, Australian reporters in Israel, a Liberal push to ban pro-Palestine slogans and Murdoch infighting.

Os and Scott open by talking about their latest TV obsession (Note: he said Reservoir Dogs but he meant Reservation Dogs!), before discussing the ABC's appearance at Senate estimates this week and what it revealed about management's approach, and how they respond to right-wing criticism.

Then they break down the Israeli election results, and Os runs why through many Australian journalists are in Israel right, and singing from the same song sheet.

Later, they discuss the Victorian Liberals plan to ban pro-Palestine phrases, despite the current High Court challenge over similar Queensland laws, Scott runs through the incredible civil war raging in News Cop, and Os shares some good news from elections in Brazil and Serbia.
