Antoinette Lattouf was sacked three days into a five-day contract.
ABC management could have told the Israeli lobby she was going anyway.
But, in their sanctimonious nastiness, the Israeli lobby demanded more and, in their cowardice, the ABC agreed.

It's great to see eSafety agreeing that the only people who will be inconvenienced by the ban will be all the adults who are not banned.
The eSafety commissioner says she expects teenagers to move to other platforms not covered by the ban, saying they do that using WhatsApp etc already. Says the difference is they'll be grouped with peers more than "billions of people from around the world that are adults and kids and strangers"

This is not surprising. Writing drafts help me formulate and articulate my thoughts and make my writing better.
I also find that taking notes help me remember things, so if I’m simply given the PowerPoint, I don’t remember the details as well.

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays.
Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn.
