Good.
I hope all advertisers defect.
Go the wonderful Mad Fuvking Witches (FMW) and their madly successful campaign against grubby Sandilands.
(Of course SMH fails to mention the MFW - but we all know the witches have been after Sandilands for some time now)

David Crisafulli found to be ‘careless’ in not declaring $200,000 in payments related to company he ran But Queensland premier is not in contempt of parliament over the payments, ethics committee finds

Hang on.

We all miss the serious journalism but it's not going to happen when all #abc staff, are current or "ex" employees of Murdoch, Stokes and Costello. Hugh Marks, for example, was recently CEO of 9. I'm moved to make a list of all the #abc TRAITORS. I'll get back to you. I miss my ABC

The @albomp.bsky.social govt is being awfully quiet about Lattouf v ABC

Not even any expressions of "grave concern" about the craven capitulation, unlawful behaviour & derogation of public interest journalism by ABC senior management?

No interest in the integrity of the national broadcaster?

hey quick question: is anyone in the government's leadership going to say anything about the ABC? surely a high profile unfair dismissal linked to managing cowing to a lobby group, and involving board meddling, is worth saying something? maybe even an investigation? some consequences for the board?

Dear @abcnews We viewers will not give up on our belief that contextual disclosure is your DUTY!!

It has taken a court case and legal decision to highlight the undue influence of the pro-Israel lobby on the state broadcaster.

Congratulations to Lattouf and her team.

However, does raise the question of what other areas of govt policy have/are influenced by the lobby?

I hope the Lattouf decision gives other board members decision makers around the country serious pause in the future.
Political opinions are still legal in this country. Facts and criticism about horrific human rights violations should be supported, not punished.

Time for media to demand some of public spokespersons for the Australian Israel Lobby defend starving the children of Gaza. None I
of the many Jewish friends I've had over a long life would have supported these outrages.

Steve Zenek from the Australian wrote this article where Darryl Maguire is described as “a disgraced ex-ALP MP”

Darryl Maguire is an ex-Liberal MP and Berejiklian’s ex-lover.

Did Zenek fk up or was this purposeful disinformation?

A retraction in print is warranted.

The media is an ass.

Members of the crossbench have written to Deputy PM and Defence Minister Richard Marles, calling for an urgent parliamentary inquiry into Aukus. In April, polling by @australiainstitute.org.au found 56% of Australians support such a move.

So on the one hand we have Hugh White, Paul Keating, Malcolm Turnbull, Bob Carr, Sam Roggeveen, and naval experts all saying AUKUS is a dud and undermines our security.

On the other we have Scott Morrison, Joe Hockey, Richard Marles and Angus Taylor saying all good mate.

What are we even doing?
