ABC
Play School presenters

The ABC is supposed to be an Australian Government Media provider. You would expect that the taxpayers money that funds the programs would be used in such a way that the content of the program is representative of the majority of Australians, particularly the background of presenters. The ABC should not be a vessel for minority groups to promote their public profile, particularly in programs targeted at young children. In the 20 May episode of Play School, the presenters were an Asian women, a well known gay actor and a hearing impaired women with speech problems. Further one story featured a women who clearly had cerebral palsy. The complaint is that small children should not be targeted with such presenters with an obivous intent to push minority group profiles using public money. Even though it is not necessarily understood by the child, it certainly is to the parent's such as myself.
