Federal cabinet minister Peter Dutton has accused ABC journalists of running a protection racket for the national broadcaster's Q&A program.
The ABC has admitted the decision to allow convicted criminal Zaky Mallah air time during Monday night's program was an error in judgment.
But Mr Dutton questioned what he said was "rear-guard action" by ABC journalists, telling Radio National on Wednesday "there's this protection racket that's being run and I don't think that bodes well".
Meanwhile, Greens senator Penny Wright criticised Brisbane's Courier-Mail for its front page featuring the ABC logo photoshopped onto the Islamic State flag.
