Good on them for doing so, but maybe half the problem is mainstream media platforming & portraying absolute dribblers like Katter and Barnaby Joyce as some sort of loveable eccentrics when they're really narcissistic douchebags who get in the way of a serious, informed discussion about anything.
Good, I was wondering if this would happen. I think it would have left Channel 9 wide to an attack on them, not upholding a safe workplace

Today is National Sorry Day. I want to say sorry for the Stolen Generations. Sorry for the record numbers of First Nations children in out of home care today. We need to understand this is not the past, the injustices and trauma continue. We must Listen. Learn. Act

I find myself completely unable to function today. I’ve seen a child surrounded by the flames of what was her family home. Starving babies. Defeated, broken men. Women cradling their shrouded children. It’s too much. And yet I still have to hear ‘but Hamas..’ FUCK OFF. Israel is committing genocide

Folks, get in here. We’re admitting all the dumb wrong shit we believed until we were way too old.
I believed up until 30 that I could drink like gentleman. I discovered at 30 in rehab that I never drank like a gentleman.

I saw psychics and learned to read tarot cards until I was in my mid-to-late 20s. I'm still massively embarrassed about that 🫣
