Bizarre reasoning, Le p.

So the ABC gets to decide what's a "fringe" issue and gag anyone who wants merely to post a question about it on a taxpayer-funded program website, in the hope that it might get a little more public intention.

Here's one of the 'approved' questions, dealing with an issue that must be important to many people:
"all governments extort money by use of illegal speed measuring devices see Federal weight&measures /speed measuring devices it says the cameras must be tested every six months ===
what will you do to correct this rip off
under Federal law state steal from motorists" - peter bucknell
I can't recall the last time anyone I know said anything about illegal speed measuring devices.

My theory continues to be that the work experience kid who 'approves' the question was on detention or at an orthodontist's appointment yesterday. A deliberate decision not to publish questions about an issue judged by the ABC as a "fringe" issue would be a breathtakingly inappropriate action, even for the ABC.
