The criticism is that the ABC has historically exhibited a monolithic editorial stance, especially on controversial issues like climate change, indigenous affairs, the Gaza conflict, union influence, and gender issues.

Occasional guest commentators may be brought in to "contest" these views, but critics argue this is more for show than genuine engagement.
