There is great journalism at the ABC — but the national broadcaster must resist the urge to chase a crime-focused, news-lite audience.
The ABC’s chase for crime’s news-lite audience is driving out the news we need

Why do @abcnewsbot.bsky.social journalists continue to not understand Victorians? For such an " unpopular" Labor government not one oof them can explain why they keep winning? On their weekend visit they might hate the inconvenience of a big build but voters are smart enough to get it #auspol

Watching the #Portland posts atm and reminds me of Murdoch vs Melbourne and Dan when living in Vic during lockdown. Remember Rachel Baxendale and Sophie Elsworth, and then the time Peta Cretin arrived to "fix it"?
And Leigh Sales - that was a joke. #auspol #DanStans
Before twitter went to the dogs.

Two years on from the Voice referendum, I’m never going to forgive the Liberal Party for their cruel destruction of hopes of reconciliation for political point scoring. Dutton, Price, Hastie, Abbott, Credlin, and all weak, cowardly moderates who stood by and said nothing. A dark stain on Australia.

Trump: "I hate my opponents and I don't want the best for them"
So glad all his supporters have spent the past week talking about how the left are so uncivil.
So glad all the shitty centrists of the world have spent the past week saying the left needs to reach out and be kind.

It feels like mainstream journalists are in complete denial about the democratic crisis which has been happening right under their noses for a decade. They’ve collectively failed to adequately report, scrutinise, contest it. The frog has been boiled. It can’t jump out of the saucepan when it’s dead!

Who needs some good news? The Australian state of Victoria made a record investment into wellbeing, mental health and “respectful relationship” support for kids at state schools. An impact survey of 380,000 of these young people has revealed they now feel safer, more secure and more resilient.
