The controversy engulfing the #BBC underscores the powerful forces that seek to undermine public broadcasting & that have also weakened the ABC. Pandering to those forces never works.

One of the most damaging and enduring aspects of the Dismissal, fifty years ago today, was its poisoning of the electorate against the Whitlam government, ensuring that it would lose the subsequent election and creating fear of progressive government.

This is an example of how bad the media has become here in Queensland. Contrast Victoria & Qld front pages today. The Courier Mail Sunday Mail was instrumental in the formation of the Fitzgerald Inquiry. In 2025 we Queenslanders now rely on Victoria to tell us the truth. #qldpol

Elon Musk is boosting the British right - and this shows how Elon Musk is boosting the British right - and this shows how

Everybody - AND I MEAN EVERYBODY - should read this investigation into that hell hole Twitter and how this nine-month study and in-depth analysis found that it amplifies right-wing and extreme content (aka, the Nazi bar)

This is *very* good investigative journalism and should ring alarm bells.

Russia’s β€˜human safari’ in southern Ukraine is a warning to the world Russia's escalating campaign of drone attacks on the civilian population of Ukraine's Kherson region highlights the destructive power of modern drone technologies, writes Oleksandr Tolokonnikov.
