After the "Please Explain" 4CORNERS in 2017 this is what happened

"Pauline Hanson’s One Nation has resuscitated its threat to refuse to support the Turnbull government’s budget measures unless the ABC’s funding is cut."

4CORNERS did a program on One Nation back in 2017 - here is the write up
One Nation insiders reveal Pauline Hanson's 'brutal dictatorship'
Pauline Hanson's One Nation party is accused of intimidating and financially pressuring its own candidates and senior staffers, with Four Corners told chief of staff James Ashby keeps "dirt files" on ...

4Corners proved that EVs can be hacked, spy on us & everywhere we drive.

+ how do we dispose millions of huge old, used car batteries safely & in an environmentally safe way in the future?

Are they short term gain for long-term pain?

ABC 4CORNERS on Monday 8.30pm

"As voters turn to the party in growing numbers, Four Corners talks to former party officials and members who describe poor financial management and a lack of internal democracy, with Pauline Hanson and National Director James Ashby running the show."

The worst thing for a public broadcaster is to lose the trust of the public which it is supposed to serve.

I don't trust the #ABC.

I don't trust #4Corners.

That is a tragedy.

why are #4corners complaimg about this when our laws haven't kept up to date to protect us.

Australians are relying on 'Australian Privacy Act from 1988'

its not #BYD or any other car manufacturers fault its #auspol who have not updated policies with developing technology, to protect Aussie data.

Last night's 4corners was tabloid. Any new car has the same capability; any personal data points have been recorded long ago by our other devices.

There is, in time of war or a hacking, to mass disable. If we were at war with China, our cars would be the least of our concerns.
September 21, 2026 at 11:21 PM
Yes. I saw the 4corners program and had read some of the horror stories being published about what these places had done to couples and individuals. Anyone who's informed themselves, even a little bit, would never go near any of these scam operations.

OH #4Corners how embarrassing is your latest China bashing episode
September 21, 2026 at 12:35 PM
so our biggest trading partner and no recent wars China is the focus for the scary possibility that their electric cars are breaching security.
compared with other electric cars?
naah #4corners had no interest in scrutinising other cars - teslas - for example.

China China China. Fuck #4corners. We now have the national broadcaster pretending china is a threat when we know foreign interference from Israel is a far bigger threat.
September 21, 2026 at 11:17 AM
so mr Patterson seems like a good one to have on when a bit of China fear mongering is on the menu.
can they muster the same fervour for mr musk’s enterprises? any security issues with teslas? any…?

so seems China has laws. how does US oversight for mr musk’s enterprises compare? sure he’s not a country, but he’s been able to rampage the federal govt for people’s private information - with impunity. wheres that data? are teslas under scrutiny?
but yeah, China

Oh this is the most fucking piece of shit job on tech I have ever seen.You can do this on a modem. Buit hey.. fear of yellow people with slanty eyes. #auspol #4corners

I mean I absolutely respect and share the concern expressed by #4Corners about data in EV software being tracked and potentially hacked.

And I should say, I'm not a car owner, so I'm not directly affected.
September 21, 2026 at 10:57 AM
LOL When you fucking buy a car, the manufacturerer knows where you live because you tell them. Jesus #4corners. This is beyond stupid. WHo the fuck told you this was even a story?
September 21, 2026 at 10:54 AM
wouldn’t all electric vehicles have this significant flaw? find it hard to believe elon wouldn’t have access to this forensic information …but yeah, China…

Shit, someone wanna let 4Corners know? Maybe they can do some Green Line posture analysis, check for communist subversion through body language
U.S. President Donald Trump is making communism a midterm attack line against Democrats. But this week, he's rolling out the red carpet for Chinese President Xi Jinping, the leader of the world's most powerful communist country.
Trump decries Democrats as 'communists,' even as he looks to impress China's communist leader
President Donald Trump says that communism is the greatest threat the U.S. has ever faced. But he's hosting the leader of the world's most powerful communist country this week — Chinese President Xi Jinping.

State propagandist #ABC at it again scaremongering about China 🇨🇳.

As if USA 🇺🇲 hasn't been data mining us since day one.

None of the EV's should be tracking you, forcing #internet connection when none is necessary to use 🚗 car.

While we make a big drama on the Chinese electric cars spying on us....
Let's also note the Ford, Tesla, Toyota, Mazda, Kia and Hyundai connected brands.

I think I am equally concerned about the Ford and Tesla origins along with the Chinese brands.

If you're driving a BYD, this is a must-read. Is China accessing your car, storing data, listening in? #4Corners tonight.

We asked a cybersecurity expert to remotely access a BYD. It was too easy
To test the risks of surveillance and sabotage, Four Corners asked a hacker to show what China's top EV brand could see and do remotely.
