Great to hear Brisbane's officially hosting #Olympics2032 ... Probably an opportune time for all levels of govt to invest extra funds into music and creative arts in Queensland - and beyond - so we still also have NON-sporting talent worth celebrating in 2032 #Brisbane2032

Thanks so much for your feedback on my TV wardrobe John. You're right, skin is the devil's work (especially WOMEN'S KNEES. Gross) and ladies must be covered from neck to ankles at all times. Just checking today's look meets your exacting standards?

@SarahHarris My estimation of Australia took rather a nosedive, seeing how you use your body, to bolster flagging ratings? Who are you trying to control?



Naming and shaming two vulnerable teens, likely to pay a high price for their actions, serves no one.

AAP's numbers yesterday - Our top 10 sport stories were published 1595 times. Our top 10 news stories were published 2514 times. That's 4109 blank spaces on websites and newspapers, dead air on radio that would need to be filled without us.

We all just lost our jobs. So we have gone to the pub. Shout out to @CameronAtfield from @brisbanetimes for putting some money on the bar for us.

There are people who won’t understand or care what it means for AAP to be facing what it is because they don’t know who we are. We’re the people behind the anonymous “AAP”, “staff writers” or “with wires” bylines.

"180 jobs could go...the entirety of AAP's remaining editorial operations." @AAPNewswire plays a vital, underappreciated role in Australia's media. Its journos/photographers provide non-partisan journalism & its loss would be devastating for press freedom google.com/amp/s/amp.theg…

Hilarious. I was waiting in the priority boarding lane for the plane and a man said to me “Excuse me, this is the priority line so if you could just let me pass”... I had to say “Yes, believe it or not I’m a woman and I also belong here”.


Please read:

As my colleague @KateKyriacou put it so well: "If you are going to be angry about what an exhausted cop said at a press conference after seeing things you and I would never ever want to see, you need to first read his whole statement". And you can, here: couriermail.com.au/news/opinion/o…

... But it's enough men. And all decent men should feel ashamed and alarmed enough to be making a concerted point of calling out any behaviour that perpetuates or normalises violent, misogynistic behaviour at every given opportunity.


Great piece..

"It's unwise to attend the @GuiltFemPod after informing the publicist of your intention to write a piece entitled 'I’m a white, middle-class male & here are my 5 takeaways', & not expect to be called out for it." My piece for @InQldMedia today @DeborahFW inqld.com.au/culture/2020/0…

This story looks familiar @DailyMailAU I guess that’s because it’s the same one that took me and @couriermail time and effort to write. Please think about paying for quality journalism rather than reading the cheap rip offs of our work. @withMEAA

The Catholic archbishop, politicians & the ACL are outraged by Mary holding a giant cock. I’m personally more offended by the Catholic Church knowing priest Gerard Ridsdale was a ped long before he raped a 9yo boy #perspective #morality

Media bosses have met with Attorney-General Christian Porter to discuss an inquiry into press freedom. bit.ly/2XpRtgd

Leanne Edmistone will be in conversation with Shelley Argent on July 9 discussing 'Just a Mum'. Shelley’s love for her son, grit, determination and persistence helped realize some of the biggest human rights reforms in Australian history. Tix: bit.ly/2EWWGRF

Our democracy is more important than convenient secrecy for security state officials. Australia’s demonstrably mediocre elite bureaucrats & politicians must lift their game and stop shooting the messengers (esp. whistleblowers) #PressFreedom #JournalismIsNOTaCrime @withMEAA
