- First Nations people issued a letter to all Australians, called ‘statement from the heart’. They asked to be recognised in the constitution. In a national vote the people of Australia overwhelmingly rejected them. #TheVoice For those who never bothered reading it before voting,
- New: Novak Djokovic confirmed in his press conference just now that he boycotted his #AusOpen post-match interview tonight because of the host broadcaster, Channel 9, and its lack of apology for its anchor Tony Jones mocking Djokovic's fans recently on-air.
00:00 - Cannot help thinking that if #BarnabyJoyce was an #NRL footballer he would have been found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute and been suspended, not to mention wall to wall media coverage.
- A quick thought: To those who continue to misrepresent trans women athletes as ‘cheaters’, they are not; they compete within the stringent rules in place. If you don’t like the rules, argue that, don’t target women who are already marginalised. #auspol #transgender #womeninsport
- Ok. So, to say I am surprised is an understatement. When I got the email that I had been selected to run with the Torch for the #Paris2024 #Olympics, I emailed back and said that they had sent the message to the wrong person. But they informed me they hadn't. So here I am.

00:00 - In a country that appears to so overwhelmingly not like #djokovic, the government has gone to extraordinary lengths to cancel his visa fearing the influence he ‘may have’.
- Paris 2024 beckons. It will be my 14th Olympic Games as a journalist/reporter/broadcaster. This coming Olympics though, it will not be for the ABC since I have resigned and will finish on November 30. Thanks to colleagues, listeners, viewers, readers, critics and most
- So disappointing that another hugely talented, experienced journalist, @NourHaydar , leaves the ABC with ‘clarity’. The exits, the loss of journalists from minorities and #FirstNations, and the treatment of those who remain compared to the treatment of others requires anExclusive: ABC federal politics reporter @NourHaydar resigns over Gaza coverage theage.com.au/business/compa…
- "For years I've been a media target for racism and paid a heavy price. For now, I want no part of it – I'm walking away" abc.net.au/news/2023-05-1… via @ABCaustralia
- Note to the kids, if you do wrong man-up like this bloke, accept the responsibility, and don’t blame others. First step to redemption. @stevesmith49 showing how it’s done #cricketcrisis
