Balanced reporting

Let no-one ever accuse the ABC of not seeking 'balance' in its reporting. On last night's bulletin, after an initial relatively straight report of the progress of Howard's anti-terror bill so far, we were then presented with balancing comment, from:
1. The ALP
2. Bob Brown (Greens)
3. Lynette Allison (Democrats)
4. Spokesperson for 'Federal Muslim Council' (whatever)
5. Terry O'Gorman (Australian Council for Civil Liberties)

Unfortunately, Michael Moore, Noam Chomsky, and that guy in the koala suit with the collecting bucket could not be reached for comment.
