British politicians know perfectly well why the BBC avoids the word ‘terrorist’, and over the years plenty of them have privately agreed with it. Calling someone a terrorist means you’re taking sides and ceasing to treat the situation with due impartiality. The BBC’s job is to place the facts before its audience and let them decide what they think, honestly and without ranting. That’s why, in Britain and throughout the world, nearly half a billion people watch, listen to and read us. There’s always someone who would like us to rant. Sorry, it’s not what we do.

What would a China-US war look like? I’ve gone to four of the most experienced military strategists - with more than 100 years’ experience between them. Not one thinks the US can win. With or without Australia. #auspol #ChinaTaipei abc.net.au/news/2023-02-20/w… via @ABCaustralia

After being contacted by @4corners, NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet acknowledged, ahead of our program, that the allegations are serious enough for him to refer to the NSW Education Standards Authority for investigation into Opus Dei-affiliated schools he & his siblings attended.

No “war of words” at our end. Just investigative journalism, without fear or favour. As this article says, it highlighted issues so serious that ahead of our program, Education Standards Authority’s investigating the schools. Watch @4corners Purity Monday. smh.com.au/national/nsw/war-…

On Monday @4corners, Purity: An Education in Opus Dei. We investigate the Australian schools and study centres linked to this small but powerful organisation, speaking to alumni who say they they have been left psychologically scarred. It’s a fascinating and disturbing story.

I'm still pinching myself! Thank you to the @walkleys for recognising the importance of our story on the disproportionate rates of missing Aboriginal women in this country, but an even bigger thank you to the communities and families that trusted us with their stories.
The winners for Coverage of Indigenous Affairs, supported by @PwC_AU’s Indigenous Consulting are: @fryer_brooke, @claireaird, Sissy Reyes and Patrick Forrest, @TheFeedSBS. #walkleys
