The ABC continuing their recent practice of punching themselves publicly in the head. For an organisation dedicated to avoiding any or all controversy at all costs, this has to be one of the greatest own goals in the Australian national broadcaster's history. Who is pushing this? #LattoufvABC

So as I understand things, if a Democrat wins in 2028, and appoints George Soros to DOGE, Soros can just end ICE without any Congressional review, and the Supreme Court can't stop it. Do I have this right?

I'm still puzzling over Ita Buttrose claiming in court today that ABC staff had not checked into Ms Lattouf's background in any way, and Ms Buttrose had formed no opinion of her one way or the other - but somehow Ms Buttrose knew with great certainty that Ms Lattouf was an "activist". Eh?

It would be good for Australians if Paul Brereton, the head of the #NACC, bothered reading his own legislation. That would be helpful and oooh I dunno, might be something the public expected from him in his ~$758,000 a year position

Paul Brereton in today's #NACC public hearing: "Adding a stamp of corrupt conduct ... to conduct already exposed by the Royal Commission would add no public value. That was our thinking, or my thinking" Then how could he put out a public statement saying he wasn't involved in any decision making?

The head of the NACC, Paul Brereton, may be a decent man, but he is desperately out of his depth as the head of this large, multi-faceted, public-facing, modern, public service organisation. His disastrous performance this afternoon in the Senate hearing underlines that in very clear detail. #NACC
