Gideon Haigh’s fascinating review of ‘Working for the Brand’, in which he describes the Antoinette Lattouf case as “that peculiar hill on which the ABC elected to die”.

Two Palestinian flags on a tapestry on display at the National Gallery of Australia have been concealed with white fabric, in what the artists have described as an act of censorship they only agreed to reluctantly Via: @nourhaydar.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

The group is also a registered charity in Australia claiming to ‘reduce harm’ and has DGR status

The AJA, the same organisation responsible for distributing the doctored Opera House chant video, has been relentlessly spreading vile, divisive, and racist disinformation every single day—without consequence. Despite their ongoing campaign of deceit and harm, they have yet to be held accountable.

Another Lebanese-Australian targeted. Silencing artists, writers, & thinkers isn’t just censorship—it’s an assault on democracy. History shows that when creative voices are muzzled, terrible things follow & flourish. What are these lobbyists so desperate to hide? artreview.com/australia-dr...

@nourhaydar.bsky.social look who is here on BlueSky. Welcome Nour

The judge in Lattouf v ABC has ruled that the Federal court matter is of public interest and will be live-streamed on YouTube. Proceedings begin on Monday 3 Feb at 10 a.m. Stream: www.youtube.com/live/a8RorBe... The case file is publicly accessible here: www.fedcourt.gov.au/services/acc...

I just want to point out that amid all this DEI blame game, the current Defense secretary is a former Fox News weekend morning show host, and the Transportation secretary was an MTV's Road Rules Challenge cast member.

‘Rape is effectively decriminalised’: how did sexual assault become so easy to get away with? This story by @benitakolovos.bsky.social is the first in a series 'Broken justice' www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Recommend! I’m already up to episode 4

‘Stunning’ — was the word chosen to describe millions of displaced Palestinians walking through rubble to the ruins of their homes. Stunning like a runway model. Stunning like a breathtaking sunset. Stunning like the spectacle of human suffering repackaged for comfortable detachment.

“In the history of News Corp holy wars … rarely has there been one with less basis in reality than that being conducted against Human Rights Law Centre legal director and Jewish Council of Australia executive officer Sarah Schwartz” - great read!

The Trumpist right, including the fundamentalist pro Israel lobby groups are in full attack mode trying to cancel @sarahschwartz.bsky.social over her satirical attack on Peter Dutton. They are defaming Sarah and pressuring organisations to breach anti-discrimination laws.

Ah yes, a ‘bold move’. A ‘bold solution’. Daring. Visionary. Practically Nobel-worthy. Not unlawful or—heaven forbid ethnic cleansing. Just pure, unfiltered bravery. History will remember this another example of moral ingenuity, brought to you by fearless, honest journalists.

It’s been a grueling 14-month ordeal, but this fight is bigger & more important than me. It’s essential to expose abuses of power given ongoing harm & human rights atrocities Australians also deserve an independent & accountable ABC Federal court: Feb 3 DONATE: www.gofundme.com/f/antoinette...

‘Lattouf was taken off-air .. after she shared a Human Rights post. After choosing to dismiss Lattouf, Oliver-Taylor later told a FWC hearing he was “still not sure whether there’s a breach or not if I’m being honest” when asked about the ABC’s social media policy’ www.smh.com.au/business/com...

"The Lattouf affair has been damaging for the ABC’s reputation" Yes, but more accurately; "the Israel lobby affair". The sacking of @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social is one example of the lobby's hold on Australian media. There is a bigger story to be told. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/j...

Logging off to focus on my mental health & self-care. Apparently watching live streamed barbarity, lots of caffeine & gin while raging against genocide isn’t a sustainable personality. See you on the other side hopefully less despairing, more hydrated & stronger to push back against cruelty

Christmas in Gaza. Three babies froze to death as Israel blocks blankets and winter clothes in its genocidal siege. Five journalists in a clearly marked press van were obliterated by an Israeli airstrike.

Merry Christmas to everyone who is kind online, supports decency, and believes in human rights. I hope you’re resting and surrounded by love. To the brave souls with anonymous profiles who espouse hate, may your Wi-Fi only work on the CAPTCHA page & every clown emoji autocorrect to “I’m a f***wit”

Josh Bornstein, the employment lawyer who represents Antoinette Lattouf in her case against the ABC (as well as various union clients), argues that individual liberty is under threat.

If Justin Baldoni can harass Blake Lively & then orchestrate a successful hate campaign against her—despite her being more famous and accomplished— it underscores how devastating the impact would be on younger, lesser known actresses. How many women have been successful ‘buried’?

The BBC is in civil war over Israel and Palestine. BBC journalists are in revolt over what they call "systematic Israeli propaganda" churned out by the Corporation. My exclusive investigative piece for @dropsitenews.com 👇 www.dropsitenews.com/p/bbc-civil-...

"After being unceremoniously dumped by ABC, she refused to go quietly...she embraced her role as a national symbol for people calling out the influence of pro-Israel lobbies on Aust media" @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social makes @crikey.com.au Shitstirrers Top 10. 👏👏👏 www.crikey.com.au/2024/12/17/c...

Israel just killed Khaled Nabhan, who called his granddaughter Reem “the soul of his soul” in a viral CNN report after they slaughtered her last year. They shared a birthday - she would’ve turned 5 next week. This isn’t war it’s the erasure of families, memories & histories- with impunity.

Don’t worry, decency always prevails—right after chaos, greed, and sheer incompetence loot the place, set it on fire, and leave you with a paperclip to rebuild. Follow me for more inspiring content and words of affirmation.

Ah yes if I needed guidance on social cohesion, anti-racism & empathy, Rupert Murdoch & Andrew ‘foreign invasion’ Bolt would be my go-to. Who better than the masters of unity & nuance? Their legacy speaks for itself (mostly in lawsuits & headlines) Today they visited burnt Adass Israel Synagogue.

The media mogul has failed to have his “irrevocable” family trust changed in favour of his eldest son, Lachlan. But the family drama still has a long way to play out.

And to think the ABC just let Nour walk outta that building Lord have mercy.

Yes! Loved it

An exiled Syrian activist on fall of Assad regime: “This is not a football game in which we must support one team against another but is an ongoing tragedy. The main victim is the Syrian people, who’ll continue to pay the price whether at the hands of Assad or the fighters of the Jabhat al-Nusra”
