The conversation moves on to Stan Grant and whether Richard Marles agrees with some of the comments ABC news boss Justin Stevens has made about the criticism Grant experienced by organisations like News Corp and its relentless campaign".

Marles is asked whether he has read some of the comments under articles about ABC staff which appear in newspapers like the Australian.

Should those newspapers be dealing with the consequences and the commentary? I've read some of them I've read some of them about myself, too. They're revolting.

Look, I mean, they are revolting. It's it's an area in an age of social media where - where there are comments that are posted, well - anyone who engages in social media, I think we all need to do much better.

And the answer the question about why I haven't read all them is precisely because of the impact which one has when you do read them all.
