What impact does this case have on every single journalist who relies on an employer? What does it tell us about what we’re consuming and where we’re getting our information? It’s such a dark moment for Australia.

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

Federal government should initiate a wholesale review of ABC governance, charter, complaints process, independence etc.
What’s been revealed in the past week is an indictment on basically every layer of management. And it’s only been revealed by this case. Imagine what we don’t know.

For decades Australians have been told a lie.
We’ve been told that only the major parties can govern.
But do you feel like they’ve been solving the problems we face?
As a voter said, “It’s a choice between sh*t, and sh*tter.”
