A big shout out to everyone who contributed to our fabulous AGM yesterday. Congratulations to the committee members past, present and newly elected.
Your efforts are greatly appreciated. The ABC needs all the support it can get to restore it and protect it from attacks. #auspol

Congratulations to @ABCTV for the coverage of the Trump incident especially the thoughtful, calm and informed instant analysis by John Barron.
A welcome contrast to some of the screaming on the US news channels.

So many people have views on how they would have stood against horrors of the past without holding a single radical thought in the present. Civility doesn't change the world, it oppresses it.

Apprehended bias? The Murdoch columnist (Albrechtsen) and the judicial officer (Sofronoff KC) in continual communication during the inquiry into serious allegations of AFP and/or prosecutorial malpractice. At stake is public confidence in ACT justice. theguardian.com/australia-ne…

Their online coverage is abysmal too and ceased at 10pm. No information at all about the widespread telecommunications outages along with the power outages. I have just lodged a formal complaint with @abcnews online.

David Anderson should explain why this important ABC emergency account followed by 71.8K was archived and why the ABC does such a poor job now

"Through inflation and increasing production costs, the ABC will soon be running out of money with yet more 'efficiency' drives and 'restructures' being devised by David Anderson," writes @QuentinDempster. "Kim Williams has five years to help rebuild." satpa.pe/WNj9yF3

BREAKING: it took 100 days, but NSW police can now confirm there’s no evidence “gas the Jews” was chanted outside the Opera House.
@cameronwilson & I investigated the authenticity of the AJA edited & distributed video
Then I was savagely targeted for doing accurate journalism

I look forward to receiving apologies from The Australian, Sky News, Australian Jewish Association, Executive Council for Australian Jewry and at least a couple of WhatsApp groups.

Good to see Stateline branded interviews (I.e. with NSW Premier @ChrisMinnsMP -longer version on iView) in 7pm news. State/territory governments run planning, housing, education, health, police, transport. ABC needs resources for stand alone TV Stateline current affairs.

Incoming ABC chair Kim Williams fiercely interrogates data. While the ABC is well advanced on its “digital first” transition, it can only survive as a valued cultural institution if it can rebuild its comprehensive original Australian content capabilities. thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news…

“Attorney-General tersely explains he will not break the law” is a bit boring, so let’s tell everyone he frothed at the mouth and ran screaming from the room

Regarding Mark Dreyfus. His wife of 44 years died from cancer just over 4 weeks ago after a very long battle.
I've seen him being savaged by the usual chest-thumpers of political journalism for an "outburst".
You know, a little grace and mercy would not go astray at this time.
