Great to be at the @inforightsproject.bsky.social event on Freedom for the Press. Proud to be in the room alongside so many backers of a free media in Australia, including those supporting Mary Kostakidis in her battle with the Zionist Federation of Australia.

I’m sorry, but if you can afford to pay Matthew Lloyd to coach your high school footy team, you have too much money and should not receive a cent of it from the tax payer
