Oh yes, it is a battle I am willing to concede.

I’d better pick up my headgear game because delighted to report the lovely Marieke Hardy will be in conversation with me at Cinema Nova, Thursday March 5 for Readings Books for my Melbourne launch of my forthcoming novel, Shellybanks. Booking details here: www.readings.com.au/events/louis...

Word limits above so it is important to add they apologised for “how the decision was represented” to Dr Abdel-Fattah. Not for the decision itself.

BREAKING: I have just received this from the Adelaide Festival Board as a (former) Adelaide Writers Week participant. They have apologised to Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah, cancelled Writers’ Week, expressed regret and the remaining festival board members will now step down.

For the record as I am being asked, I made a personal decision as an author to send this to my friend Louise Adler earlier today. #Adelaidewritersweek

So grateful for nurses everywhere. So much of the guts and so little of the glory. A Christmas toast to nurses!

Practice conditions put on neurosurgeon after behaviour complaints Doctor Greg Malham, who was terminated from a Melbourne private hospital following an ABC investigation into his behaviour, will have to undertake mentoring sessions to continue practising.

BREAKING: Last update for my journalistic year. Following our #4Corners investigation God Complex into neurosurgeon Greg Malham & complaints by patients & staff at Epworth Hospital… Medical regulator AHPRA has imposed conditions on Dr Malham’s registration. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

To the beautiful people of my former home of North #Bondi, Australia holds you in its broken heart tonight. In Bondi we always felt so safe, so alive. It’s devastating that that was destroyed today. To the Jewish community, always so central to the heart of Bondi, we are so incredibly sorry.

ACT steps up on holding institutions liable for abusers. Why not NSW? Survivors watched on as the ACT took a historic step on Tuesday in passing a bill to overturn a High Court decision that allowed a church to avoid litigation over the actions of one of its priests.

Analysis from me about historic passing of laws in Australia’s smallest jurisdiction, the ACT, to allow childhood abuse survivors to sue institutions for vicarious liability. What about other states? Lawyer Judy Courtin says they need “the balls & the ovaries”. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Union members at the ABC and across the media industry stand with John Lyons and reject the US President’s unfounded attacks on our colleague.

RIP #RobertRedford. This was his best. Inspiration to all of us journalists whose mission is holding truth to power. Still such an important message on the corrosion of democracy. Solidarity to my colleague John Lyons, preparing a story on the current climate for our program #4Corners. #journalism

Me too! Proud to be part of this 64-year tradition of holding truth to power. Thank you. ❤️

Thanks Jeremy! ❤️

Thank you Shaun. That is very kind of you.

Heartbreaking hearing Mick sharing stories of, not only his appalling repeated sexual assault, but also their desire to cover up and pay hush money is re-traumatising. Impressive journalism by Four Corners Louise Milligan. #fourCorners #4Corners

Four Corners: S2025 Big Brethren Former members of the secretive, ultra-wealthy church once known as the Exclusive Brethren speak about the psychological manipulation, surveillance and attempts to intimidate; plus growing influence i...

Highly recommend ABC #4Corners report on the Plymouth Brethren by @milliganreports.bsky.social. The trauma suffered by every one of the people who've escaped this cult is tragic. I hope they receive the comfort and support they need and deserve. 😔 #religion #auspol iview.abc.net.au/show/four-co...

I also worked with a fantastic team on this one!

These Brethren members stepped out of line. Then the threats and intimidation started The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church is fiercely protective of a multi-billion-dollar business which supports the church. These men found out the extraordinary lengths it will take to keep it safe.

Private investigators. A political Mr Fixit. “These guys are giving me the big-time creeps.” “You’re dumb, you’re dumb… you'll end up… in the Lake of Fire.” What happens when you challenge the #Brethren business model. Brave men spoke out. #4Corners #auspol. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

ICYMI, our entire #4Corners, Big Brethren, is here. Posting YouTube so international viewers can watch. Thank you to all of the incredibly brave people who spoke to us. m.youtube.com/watch?v=lFEI...

@milliganreports.bsky.social is absolutely killing it tonight!

Important four corners article about far right Christian interference in Australian politics

And their covering up of child abuse

Powerful reporting.

Well done team!

Jaw dropping story Louise. Thank you!!!!

Good work. Praying for justice for Mick.

You have to give back the money in the settlement.

The Plymouth Brethren offered Mick $1 million to stay silent. He refused The controversial church offered to settle with Mick Dover over his allegations of abuse, but only if he signed a non-disclosure agreement and agreed not to disparage them in any way.

"Today I’m here for one purpose. And that is to expose the cover-up."
Some days, I meet a source whose courage absolutely knocks my socks off. Today, Mick Dover is risking one million dollars to tell his story to 4 Corners. Watch ABC TV 8.30pm & YouTube. #PBCC #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Oh thank you so much. And that is a huge amount of work.

PM Anthony Albanese has described the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church (formerly the “Exclusive Brethren”) as a cult & its activities during the last election will be scrutinised in a parliamentary inquiry. Watch Big Brethren, #4Corners, Monday 8.30 ABC TV & YouTube for our international viewers.

Former minister working for three companies linked to controversial religious group The Sydney-based church has been described by former members and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese as a "cult".

BREAKING from us at #4Corners: Former Morrison govt Health Minister Greg Hunt working for a Brethren company which received $54 million in COVID-19 contracts from Health Department while he was Minister. Mr Hunt says decisions made by his department, not him. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

It is a horrible history.

George Pell raped, groped two boys in Ballarat, compensation scheme decides Two men were compensated after the National Redress Scheme accepted they were abused as boys by the late Cardinal George Pell in Ballarat in the 1970s.

A few people have been asking. There is a much shorter version of my The Monthly #Pell piece on ABC online here:
