Editorial note to @abcnewsnetau.bsky.social: RFK Jr is NOT a "vaccine critic" or "vaccine sceptic". He is a card carrying anti-vaxxer who has actively opposed all vaccination for more than 20 years. He is an existential danger to public health. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Two ghosts lurk behind Trump’s Gaza plan: one is Jared Kushner, his son in law, who floated the idea a year ago. The other is Bezalel Smotrich, who said Israel’s founder David Ben-Gurion should have “finished the job” when it came to Palestinians. Here’s my new column. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

How did drawing public attention to an actual genocide become a sacking offence for Australian journalists? Great piece by @boganintel.bsky.social on the extraordinary power of the Zionist lobby in this country.

The ABC’s own goals in the Lattouf case not only confirm the power of the Zionist lobby to use any criticism of Israel to feed the ‘anti-semitism’ panic, but showcase the broadcaster’s facility for ‘punching itself in the head’, writes lawyer Michael Bradley. www.crikey.com.au/2025/02/04/a... .

The study comes from this new journal. I had a quick look at the editors, and I suspect this is the most retracted editorial board in academia. Most of the editors have had studies retracted, and the reasons on Retraction Watch include everything from severe ethical misconduct to data misconduct.

In Australia, it's legal to lie in a political ad. In the next few months, we will endure another federal election campaign with unfiltered exposure to lies and disinformation, UNLESS the Government passes truth in political advertising laws, which 87% of Australians support. Let's get it done!

We use online reviews for EVERYTHING. Restaurants. Appliances. Movies. Even healthcare providers! But so many fake or manipulated. And they often do not reflect the actual quality. My take: thewalrus.ca/fake-reviews... via @thewalrus Soon: chatting about this on CHED880!

mRNA vaccines. Posts keep being send to me i which non-experts are full with confidence claiming mRNA vaccines are not vaccines. I have addressed this many times, but lets dig in again. The obvious: mRNA are vaccines, by all standards applied. Nothing has been changed to accomodate these. 1/8

it is a good thing that The Thug is not and hopefully never will be the Prime Minister, because yet again, he shows how totally stupid and selfish he is, trying to score political points by attempting to pre-empt the government response without all of the facts being confirmed.

“Makes a case…” Nonsense. It was pap, drivel, focus-tested, push-button crap. Not a policy in it. At bottom, Dutton is hollow and empty. There’s nothing there.

Once thought as saviours of journalism, billionaires are proving poor stewards of media companies, wrongly thinking their success elsewhere automatically transfers to a profession built on trust, independence and editorial judgement. @columjournreview.bsky.social www.cjr.org/analysis/tru...
