Tingle, who is also an ABC board member, added broadcast scheduling decisions were at the discretion of broadcasters. Tingle sad it had been “very difficult” to secure confirmation dates for Price and Mundine’s speeches for months.Mundine is yet to give his address.Tingle said he withdrew from his initial date of August 16, a slot which was later taken by Senator Lidia Thorpe, before agreeing to take the September 27 slot, which he again withdrew from.
