That cut of Waleed was devastating in its truth for me: we are 'tolerant' until those we are 'tolerating' raise their heads. Always so for indigenous Australians. Used to be same for us 'wogs'.

Justice McClelland: "When the respectable burghers of Hunters Hill are sitting eating their lunch on the grass at Kellys Bush, I wonder how many realise they have to thank a certain communist for the fact they are not sitting on concrete." RIP Jack Mundey
This was it: the day in early-2014 when the Liberal Party front bench celebrated the removal of the Gillard Labor Government’s carbon price - the only policy that has actually reduced Australia’s carbon emissions.
How depressing is that? Australia says no to a perfectly reasonable, extraordinarily humble request for recognition. I hope Marcia Langton is wrong - and reconciliation isn’t dead.
Given the ABC would have/should have been aware of Antoinette's journalism on the issue and her online activism, seems very strange they're making her pay the price for having a view which she didn't express on air.
Scott Morrison's political ad is a bizarre act of self-love as firefighters battle to save Australia. And

Geez Malcolm! Fitzgerald? Moonlight state? Brown paper bags? Gerrymanders? Arresting protesters? Reckon RIP Lady Flo would’ve been enuf
RIP Paul Murphy - beautiful man, wonderful broadcaster and one of the very best interviewers Australian journalism has ever produced. A mentor and friend. So sad.
What a great day for Australian public interest journalism Congratulations Nick McKenzie and Chris Masters, who has spent more than is reasonable for any human being in courts defending the right to speak the truth.
It's really something when the Editorial Board of the

My granddad was an avid nazi until his death in the early 90s. He was a small town banker, volunteered in 40 and became a staff sergeant in the Wehrmacht. He was leading a so called "anti partisan" unit at the Eastern Front, participated in the capture of Kiew.
Four hours of sleep here, so apologies - but as Ukraine bleeds, Russians grieve.
I know a lot of Russians - only a handful have no Ukrainian blood. Unspeakably horrific action.

Maybe you could give the ABC a little (big) $$ boost given the role its played in keeping the fire impacted communities informed and safe.
I think the world needs a Jonathan Swan interview with The Donald... replete with graphs on pieces of paper showing him the voting figures as well as court results.
My university degree was life-changing. Putting them out of reach is elitist and wrong | Australian universities. What a story. Hope

A pair of siblings in Gaza City found their brother on Monday while searching for family members among the injured at the Bureij Refugee Camp. Many came to the camp following Israeli airstrikes nearby.
'No one stopped to think for a second, is she safe going home with this person?' Such a sad story and raises lots of questions for news media to confront about how it 'collectively' deals with this level of obvious abuse.

left her war torn homeland - Malta - to raise a family and create a new life. Best mum ever. Nurturing, brave, unstintingly protective and proud as punch of both her girls. She worked long and hard to make sure we got what she didn’t get.

Dear
@Qantas
- I’m flying with you next week. Do you think you could iron out all your problems by then? I’d love an on time flight, with great food and service on board, and for my luggage to be at the other end when I get there. Thanks.
Pretty much all the issues around taking Antoinette Lattouf off air, Nour Haydar’s resignation and general unease at ABC raised here - the ABC’s social media policy which only works for some, is about to get a work out. Interesting.
Hope everyone intends to be careful with what they tweet about witnesses and lawyers when court resumes at 2.15 in sydney. Or judge Lee might be tempted to shut down the live telecast.
Just btw, in Moscow and everyone I speak to asks about the bushfires, alarmed, sad, angry and sure the tragedy will trigger global change.

Yep. My nephew is in Majors Creek near Braidwood. All roads in/out been closed for weeks, businesses shut down. Then Bilpin - the fruit bowl burnt out. Repeat 100’s of times over across the country. Wake up Canberra.
In a thorough thrashing, the Australian federal court dismissed a case of defamation brought against journalist Steve Cannane and his book about

in Australia, 'Fair Game.' We have a statement from Steve and the full 273-page (!) ruling.
This is a very big number - $100m for a new journalism institute! In Australia!!! Well done Judith Neilson and here's hoping the Judith Neilson Institute for Journalism & Ideas will make a difference.

Sad to read this news - so hot on the heels of Antoinette’s removal. Two fewer employees of diverse background isn’t good for the main public broadcaster.
It is with great sadness the family of John Pilger announce he died yesterday 30 December 2023 in London aged 84. His journalism and documentaries were celebrated around the world, but to his family he was simply the most amazing and loved Dad, Grandad and partner. Rest In Peace.
