- Sorry. No @ABCmediawatch for me this week. Broken hand and pelvis after a thoughtless driver backed into the road without looking and cleaned me up on my bike as I rode to work. Not sure when I’ll be good to go again. Soon, I hope.
- All those in the media who boosted #Lehrmann's account -- and they know who they are -- must be dying of shame. Justice Lee has absolutely shredded his character and his evidence, caling it 'risible', 'an elaborate fancy' and 'a litany of lies'.
- Message to Media: Enough Bullshit. Read the evidence, believe the science, stop mucking about. This is what our BOM says of bushfires. 1. They're increasingly common 2. The fire season is getting longer. 3. Climate change is contributing.
- This journalist confronts Israeli armed forces shooting tear gas at Palestinian children going to school. The U.S. government funds this. #Gaza #Palestine #Iraq #Syria #Israel
- Replying to @CoaltrainHunterYou ask: Do people still watch @ABCmediawatch? They certainly do: 533,000 people tuned in on Monday in 5 big cities plus 261,000 in the regions. Easily the top TV program in its slot. Reach was 1.4million a/c to OzTam. And we’ll get many more on X and Facebook. Cheers!
- To all those who are asking … I’m back home and on the mend. Hobbling around on crutches but getting better every day. I hope to be back on @ABCmediawatch on Monday 30th. Thanks for all the good wishes.
- Fantastic news. Now we should pay him $1m for wrecking his life and career. 'Bernard Collaery’s leaking charges over East Timor operation dropped on Mark Dreyfus’ orders.'
- Brilliant, as always. Rob Sitch nails it.Everything you need to know about Australia's defence policy... #UtopiaABC
00:00 - Get him off. He’s far too good! Seriously, great job by Jeremy Fernandez on @ABCmediawatch tonight. Thanks and well done.
- This was a real TV moment. What a roast!From q&a More (actual independent) experts yelling at politicians so they look sheepish and in trouble please. Part 1 because of limits
00:00 - Sorry to see you go Emma @albericie. You're a fine journalist and you've done some great work. Good luck in what will continue to be a fine career.
- Huge feedback on this. Thanks. People care about the ABC. We all want it to be strong.“We wonder how the ABC can justify having a dedicated news channel if it can’t do better on breaking stories like this.” #MediaWatch
00:00 - Bring it on 'A billionaire tax would raise $380 billion a year and make our tax systems fairer, report says' abc.net.au/news/2024-06-2… via @ABCaustralia
