Nowhere did i defend the ABC. Stop trying to put words in my mouth. I have stated my reason clearly enough most would understand. If you cannot see the difference between celebrating a win and (somehow) championing government excess i can't help you. The ABC is government owned and i would BET they are strongly compelled to fight litigation. I dont care. Like i said the money is spent anyway, what matters is the outcome, and i have reached my limit for talking to fools.

If you cannot see the difference between celebrating a win

But that's not what you're doing. You're saying we shouldn't be criticising the ABC for their wastefulness in choosing to go ahead with this case.

If you cannot see the difference between celebrating a win and defending the wastefulness of the loser i can't help you.
