Taking a moment to process the fact that the ABC chair's idea of "the sort of talent so important you just have to put up with their demands" is apparently stuck on Hey Hey Its Saturday circa 1986

After everything we have gone through - with all the inappropriate intervention of previous chairs and MDs - this is BEYOND disappointing. ABC journos deserve better: to be allowed do their job without the biases of chairs and MDs undermining our independence. @withmeaa.bsky.social

This is shocking. Before anyone says it's the biggest failure ever seen in science communication, it's not (all) our fault! It's politically driven disinformation

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not. An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

nice to see recognition of the "balanced and journalistically sound" reporting by Antoinette Lattouff and I on the Sydney Opera House protest, per an ABC exec's emails Our reporting was confirmed by police who later said they could find "no evidence" of the specific chant.

Opinion | The ABC has indicated it will argue Lattouf has not proved there is such a thing as a “Lebanese, Arab or Middle-Eastern race". The optics are devastating, writes @marquelawyers.bsky.social Read it here: www.crikey.com.au/2025/02/0...

Ita Buttrose in an email to David Anderson: "I have a whole clutch more complaints. Can't she come down with flu or COVID or a stomach upset? We owe her nothing.” Is it plausible to maintain the decision to take @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social off air wasn’t triggered by lobbying?

"Ita Buttrose pushed for Antoinette Lattouf to be taken off-air, asking why she could not 'come down with flu, or COVID or a stomach upset?' after receiving a tranche of complaints about her presence." Ooft. Can't wait to hear what Ita has to say on the stand. www.smh.com.au/business/com...

The ABC (my employer) needs to stop defending this case against Lattouf and settle - including an apology and reinstatement. They should not have taken her off air in such a manner. Her colleagues stand with her.
