"It's the only way to stay safe" chaser.com.au/national/dutton-suggests-his-electorate/

This.

NO OTHER LAND!!!! No Other Land now has more Oscars than it did distribution offers. a great and enduring shame upon the American film industry. free Palestine forever.

Good morning

Israel has chosen to mark the first days of Ramadan by blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza. Still, our government refuses to implement sanctions and defend international law. There is no other way of putting it: this is a resumption of genocide — and our government is complicit.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

It's almost impossible to see how the reputation of this organisation can recover under the present chief executive and chair. Do us all a favour, gentlemen. New:

The second half of this quote deserves to be remembered in the history books

Sarah Ferguson while interviewing Steve Bannon in 2018: "there's no evidence that you are [racist]" Ahh well, swing and miss I guess. Who could have known, just asking questions.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

My latest for @theshot.net.au. If Dutton is so appalled by anti-semitism, maybe he shouldn't embolden actual Nazis? theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

Good to see Trump’s claims about Zelenskyy being described in news reporting as “false”. We have a duty as journalists to make this clear when claims being made by politicians are demonstrably and undeniably untrue. Particularly when politicians are “flooding the zone” with incorrect content.

AOC has them sputtering mad because she’s educating people on constitutional rights. You don’t see them freaking out at Jeffries for talking about egg prices.

Well what do you know, turns out there is a corruption issue in the Robodebt referrals worth investigating. NACC independent reviewer says all six people referred should be investigated for possible corrupt conduct. The NACC gets to do the investigation, of course. www.nacc.gov.au/news-and-med...

The willingness of our politicians, institutions and corporations, from the ABC down, to allow themselves to be intimidated like this speaks to the fragility of our democracy. Lattouf, Sakr, Lalor and now Sabsabi. By being so gutless, these organisations make us all vulnerable to authoritarianism.

Well worth a read. This is one of the biggest media companies in the world plotting to sow division in Australia at a time of heightened concerns about what the government loves to call “social cohesion”. Where is the outrage from the government? Where are the repercussions for the perpetrators?

Federal government should initiate a wholesale review of ABC governance, charter, complaints process, independence etc. What’s been revealed in the past week is an indictment on basically every layer of management. And it’s only been revealed by this case. Imagine what we don’t know.

My understanding is that Ms Lattouf didn't express any political views on air during her time at the ABC - but the problem now seems to be that she has political views at all #auspol #LattoufvsABC

How appalling that the Australian Government has not shown support for the International Criminal Court after the US Government’s sanctions against it. This is a matter of principle. The ICC deals with war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity.

One intriguing aspect of the ABC / Lattouf case is how much coverage it’s getting, but how little of it really gets into the core issue of pro-Israel lobbyists systematically working to get journalists fired. Probably because almost all outlets have responded similarly ABC!

Damning for C Oliver-Taylor. Insists didn’t sack Lattouf due to being impartial. Then shown texts where he stipulates she had breached “editorial” impartiality. OT says meant to say ‘May’ have breached…’ & made mistake to add word “editorial” despite writing it multiple times

Insane question and insane approach to “impartiality”, which Ferguson would never deploy on issues like gendered violence, for example.

Oh joy, watching the ABC's flagship current affairs show where Sarah Ferguson ask s"Is there any proportion of the Palestinian people in Gaza who would welcome the chance to be relocated?" How about no, because there is no such thing an ok proportion of ethnic cleansing? #730

Oh ABC TV there was NO caravan attack. It was abandoned, thwarted and 3 arrests so far made. Buying the Opposition’s opportunistic excessive hype is neither accurate or impartial.

It's not a demolition site it's a mass grave. It's not a demolition site it's a crime scene. It's not a demolition site its a homeland. It's not a demolition site it's Palestine. It's not a demolition site it's a genocide.

So, is literally anyone in the Albanese government going to say anything at all about what’s going on in the US? Trump has just announced he wants to ethnically cleanse Gaza, Musk has the codes to the US Treasury, they’ve deleted US AID … meanwhile Albo, Marles and Penny are still mumbling ‘AUKUS’

They've given up pretending. My SMH/The Age cartoon.

Donald Trump ran on getting us out of wars and stopping American dollars from fueling other people’s conflicts. Now he wants us to seize Gaza, displace millions of Palestinians, and turn it into his personal Middle Eastern Riviera—and he’s willing to send U.S. troops to make it happen. (1 of 2)

I note with extreme interest, the ABC has spent millions settling cases in the past few years with white men that they clearly have not wanted to enter into an open court battle with. The ABC however, is happy to aggressively witch-hunt a Lebanese woman to the ends of the earth. Why? #LatouffvABC

All this because @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social posted **NEWS** about what Human Rights Watch was saying. The ABC board and management involved in this are contemptible and deserve to no longer have any role with the ABC. Go be paid by news.corp. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/f...

This case is so embarrassingly bad I can not for the life of me understand why the ABC is insisting on pursuing it. The nasty, venal racism it's highlighting within the ABC is breathtaking, not to mention their lack of support for their staff. Senior ABC management must be brainless beyond belief.

Look ma, I'm finally white.

Being sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinians, and sharing the injustices committed by Israel are not at odds with being a journalist or good journalism. Our industry often awards/elevates journalists who speak unashamedly on human rights & social justice issues

Why the hell is the ABC Board Chair, who oversees a total staff of 4,700 people and an annual budget of $1.2 billion - micro-managing and inserting herself into the specific dates of a temporary on-air Sydney radio presenter? How many of the other 4,700 did Ita Buttrose personally meddle with?

Here's me. 'How did America Nazi this coming?'

💥 New Zealand knows what’s up!!

So the entire case against Antoinette Lattouf is that her factual posts were "controversial" and "some" people disagreed with her? Utterly laughable. It's not a journalists job to police themselves because some facts may be "controversial" or inconvenient to a particular group. #auspol

Sick of #insiders? From Feb 16, you will have an alternative! @theshot.net.au is launching The Sunday Shot - join @davemilbo.bsky.social & me & some of Australia's best independent journalists at 9am every Sunday as we dive into the key issues of what is going to be a volatile election campaign.

There is one, and ONLY ONE, reason for doomscrolling here to see Trump's latest outrage. And that's to make sure it doesn't happen here. As P.Keating said of Dutton: “a charlatan”, “wicked and cynical” and “an inveterate climate change denialist”.

Finding out the mood on the street regarding Grace Tame’s shirt

There is no such thing as a safe seat. Demand politicians earn your vote. Don't accept mediocrity. Excuses about "costs" or "need to bring the public with us" are lies. Governments have power, and budgets are about choices & priorities. If it's a priority, it is always affordable.

Big week for me legally releasing some of the hate in my heart ☺️ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
