Seriously, watching that interview is a little painful with all the interrupting to try and railroad the conversation, and attaching weird attacks and assertions to make loaded questions, or rather, framing a claim as a question. I haven't seen it so bad outside of Faux News in the US.
Glad to hear Max got a quick mention of the Green Bans of the BLF in.
The interviewer seemed to have a line she was trying to follow, and Max Chandler-Mather wasn't having a bar of it.

This article from David Spears, i think, explains Ferguson's line of questioning. Basically the ABC have drawn an optics comparison between that and Tony Abbott's ditch the witch protest speech. And yeah there is similarity.
In both cases though, was it worth the media being distracted over the signs and forgetting the issues at hand?
