A beautifully written letter.

Australia’s arts sector should strive to be a meritocracy - not censored by lobbyists with deep pockets. #auspol

Tylenol causes Epsteinism - a terrible affliction, which distracts people from the real issues.

Let there be a thousand Lebanese cucumbers bloom! #auspol

The legendary Kerry O'Brien was asked by @lintonbesser.bsky.social's Media Watch what he would have asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, had he interviewed him, rather than the sycophantic Sky News. These were his questions: #auspol

Instead of giving Michael Jackson fans an opportunity to reminisce and marvel, the Estate has instead given them the right to be abhorred at the continued disgracing of his legacy.

The modifications to the "4K" Black or White video is another decision that disrespects Michael Jackson and his fans.

Antony must be Green with envy with what an amazing job @caseybriggs.com is doing tonight!

In all seriousness, Antony is the GOAT, but Casey is pretty damn awesome too. #auspol

"...Imagine, for a moment, what might be done for the world should the press devote such resources to a misery that could actually be fixed. Multi-nationals dodging tax. Political donations corrupting Parliament. Or dare I say it, deaths in custody."

"Rather, this was a case [Erin Patterson Mushroom Trial] in which the media had lit upon the ultimate gold seam. Mining the rapacious appetite for true-crime, bizarre...."

Media Watch's @lintonbesser.bsky.social delivers a scathing and necessary assessment of Australia's media ecosystem: #auspol

The amount of politicians who still repeat the phrase, “Israel has a right to defend itself” ad nauseam, makes me think that Elon Musk’s brain chip must already be installed inside them. #auspol

I will never stop being bewildered by Dave Sharma's regular appearances on the ABC. Does the national broadcaster have shares on the stock market or something? #auspol

Former Prime Minister Scott Morrison, who actively diverted medical supplies from Victoria to New South Wales, is receiving an Order of Australia for his "eminent service" during the COVID pandemic. #auspol

If Elon and Trump are breaking up, who will get custody of Joe Rogan?

When will the City of Perth take action against all those deadly cars killing people? #auspol

'A £37 billion hit to the economy...so we've got to adjust to being worse off?'
'You are one of these people who disregards the data.'

@matthew-wright.bsky.social can't quite believe that caller John still believes 'Brexit is going great'...

No "Assistant Minister for the Republic" in Albanese's new cabinet. What a shame. The last referendum must have really affected the prospect of Australian's supporting Australia's independence. #auspol

Mark my words - one day, James Patterson will be a Liberal Party leader, and maybe, Prime Minister. #auspol #ausvotes2025 #abcelections

I wish Antony Green was my father. #auspol #ausvotes2025 #abcelections

Okay, just hear me out... If we were to disqualify any person that voted for the LNP from participating in future elections - that wouldn't be toooooo anti-democratic, right? #auspol #ausvotes2025

Some words from my political hero, Don Dunstan, ahead of tomorrow's Australian federal election. #democracysausage #auspol #ausvotes

Stop teasing us

Peter Dutton: "Well, I am Mr. Sparkle." #Auspol

Peter Dutton has always been the nuclear option. #auspol

Peter Dutton: "People should just use their Superannuation to buy a house. You know, that thing which will determine the quality of your retirement?" #auspol

The fact that there is a "first $650,000 of your morgage" is insane. This has been normalised in this selfish country. #auspol

Had Federal, State and Local Governments seen housing as a concern from 20 years ago, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in today. The LNP had nine years to fix it. Labor has had three years. #auspol

Prediction: PM Albo will bring substance, while Dutton will bring rhetoric. #auspol

Tonight, on the ABC, Prime Minister Albanese will debate the opposition leader, Peter Dutton. It will be hosted by David Speers, so it's essentially another Sky News debate. #auspol

That's probably very true - good point!
