‘The ABC is right this time’: Chris Kenny defends Leigh Sales' Uluru Statement email

Sky News host Chris Kenny has defended ABC journalist Leigh Sales after she sent out an email telling journalists “how to reject” the claim the Uluru Statement was 26 pages long.

Mr Kenny said it is “simply wrong" to say there is a secret longer Uluru Statement.

“The ABC is right this time … I don’t know why Sales has to tell them all, but it is simply wrong to say the Uluru Statement is more than one page long and they should point that out.

“Sure, refer to the other documents, talk about how they mention reparations and the rest of it – but do not pretend they are part of the actual statement or that governments have secretly signed up to them – that’s just wrong.

“Don’t censor people either who say so, don’t ban their stuff on Facebook – just point out the facts, thrash it out in public debate.”

Mr Kenny added that the ABC seems to "carefully choose" when to point out the facts on issues.

Kenny has shown himself to be a bigger marxist clown than Albo

[hanssieburn]

So disappointed in CK!
I can't believe how naive he is!!

[meredithisme]

Of course corrupt Kenny agrees he's the author of the voice

[chrisg]

Except the Yes case has the power of big government, big business and $395 million dollars

Like a stuck record...not sure why you lost the plot on this issue and agreeing with the ABC...how far you have slipped....sad to see

[Lee-ccjf]

Albo used to wear a "VOICE TREATY TRUTH" t-shirt while saying he will implement "IN FULL THE ULURU STATEMEMT". So Kenny you got some dumb ass information buddy.

BS Chris get ya hand off it 26 pages Vote No save Australia 🇦🇺

[josephchudleigh]

Shut the rotten place down. Never watch it. There are a lot of poor souls out in the cold streets tonight who we could find shelter for the $1.2 billion .

[BigGen]

Bull shit Kenny. The entire document 14 mentions things such as a black parliament and demanding a percentage of the GDP as 'reparation'.

[lesleyosborne]

Seriously Chris Kenny. How Can YOU Say that. Its IS 25 PAGES LONG. WITH ANOTHER 80 Pages. How can 1 page Stand up in HIGH COURT and Change a Nation.. YOU ARE DELUSIONAL. Whats Wrong with you.

[ShadowMan]

Game OVER with this one Chris you've lost mainstream decent Australians on this one, voting NO to Albo's Legacy Project!

[johndunn]

Who are you talking to Kenny?
No one here supports any of your deceptive views.

[trevormillington]

Lets AGREE to DISAGREE Chris because we think you are wrong....

[trevorbyrne-pplc]

I am amazed how many people take notice of this flea Kenny. Very small man syndrome .

[kerravon]

If by now nobody has bothered to tell you what you're going to be voting for, they simply dont want you to know. Vote no to enshrining a blank cheque into our constitution.

[Grumpy-sywr]

The first page is the headline. The rest are the fine print.
ABC might have a comfy chair ready for you Kenny.

Leigh Sales stated on Ben Fordham podcast everyone should read the uluru statement in full.

[kerravon]

And what does the "Road Map" in the other 25 pages that you mentioned say Chris? Why dont you want to talk about the compensation and reparations mentioned in that roadmap?

[bburlsy]

Chris why are you SO obsessed with trying to divide us on the basis of race?!

[yarndy]

The voice to parliament referendum is only the first step, next is a treaty (makarrata) then truth telling.
As Albanese stated "I commit to implementing the Uluru Statement from the Heart in FULL" - All 26 pages (Released by FOI) Australian taxpayers may be forced to pay reparations to Indigenous Australians for past, present and future criminal acts under a proposed treaty, with suggestions that a fixed percentage of GDP be handed over through rates, land tax and royalties. etc. etc.
As Leigh Sales stated on Ben Fordham podcast everyone should read the uluru statement in full.
