It was hard to miss the story about the what Melbourne CBD's anti-genocide protests allegedly costs in police resources.

We look into who 'broke' that story, where that figure came from, the timing of the release of such a figure and how outlets like the ABC ran with it with little interrogation

A nurse was shot in the head while working in Gaza's Nasser hospital. The horror was captured on camera. Here in Australia, it wasn't deemed newsworthy - only covered by one outlet. Over at SMH, we spotted four stories about Nicole Kidman's divorce on its home page alone, including an opinion piece

Sometimes - for no reason at all - I look back at what the former ABC chair Ita Buttrose said during this front cover story for Stellar magazine.

‘Blood on these walls’: Mudrat tears into ABC’s Gaza coverage during Triple J live set Australian hip-hop artist donned a Palestinian keffiyeh and delivered a blistering critique of the broadcaster and its treatment of Antoinette Lattouf

Good one, Mudrat :)

'The hip-hop artist Mudrat used Triple J’s video series Bars of Steel to deliver a blistering critique of the ABC’s coverage of the Israel-Gaza war and its treatment of Antoinette Lattouf.'

So much I loved about this live Wheeler Centre ep but what really resonated was mention of an ‘ecosystem’ of independent media and journalism, and independent media supporting independent media.

Let’s build a network 🙂

Why Jimmy Kimmel would have never been cancelled in Australia We need to be careful about how we separate true hate speech from satirical speech. In America, it seems, differentiation is out of favour.

@antoinettelattouf.bsky.social literally got cancelled in Australia. By the public broadcaster. An op-ed that really misses the point about the scourge of cancelling opinions because it makes some of us feel uncomfortable

This is a bizarre thing to publish on the day the federal court awarded a journalist $220,000 for being unfairly dismissed from an on-air role for their political views.

In Australia it isn't just private companies that cave to pressure, it's the public broadcaster

Justice Rangiah in his own words in Lattouf v ABC penalty decision.

The broadcaster has been ordered to pay $150,000. I was previously awarded $70,000 for hurt and distress.

ABC has spent in excess of $2 million on legal fees.

The real cost to Aunty is immeasurable.

The final day in Lattouf v ABC.
At 10.15am on Wednesday 24 September, Justice Rangiah will hand down his judgment on the penalty the ABC must pay for my unlawful sacking.
Some thoughts.

Calls him "young" when he is 24 years old.

Young is when you imprison 10-14 year old kids

Wednesday is always a good day - hear about how not to talk about the far right, pre-bunking, Meanjin and a lot else.

Best listen for Wednesday.

On the surface, Melbourne University Publishing says axing Meanjin was “purely financial.” But something doesn’t add up. The numbers look less like accounting and more like creative writing given we can reveal there's been an offer of a cash injection.
