In my view the fundamental issue is that journalists still believe that audiences should be informed enough to join the dots/ know the facts. It’s not “their” job- even in a post-truth world.
Time for a complete reassessment of the training & role of journalists -fit for today.

[Mark Di Stefano @MarkDiStef]

As if it needs to be said but @msmarto is a hell of a journalist (and person). I’m so jealous of all the scoops she’s broken about One Nation and Gina Rinehart.

Overwhelmingly Australians support better laws that encourage and protect whistleblowers. https://t.co/DgHHZmowkx

The israelis get away with burning people alive & bombing civilian cars because western leaders are quietly supporting & funding their attacks

[Alan MacLeod @AlanRMacLeod]

The BBC has spent nearly three years trying to cover up a genocide, and then they act shocked when nobody believes in them anymore.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Ireland is pushing a motion to ban Israel from FIFA and UEFA.

It has made JD Vance very mad.

It's time to remove Israel from world sport, don't you agree?

[Mark Kenny @markgkenny.bsky.social @markgkenny]

Nailed it.

[Craig Foster @Craig_Foster]

This is great.

The collective party.

The shared experience.

The pride in their own teams, when pride can be hard to find.

The cut through of political lines and differences.

The remembering of history, collective stories and myths.

Doesn’t happen otherwise in a world where billions are made by dividing and enraging people.

Within countries, and among them.

Football.

So now the Press Club is having the Federal Police investigate GetUp for the drop-down banner at Pauline's press lunch. Ah, the Press Club...
More than a quarter of the National Press Club’s sponsors are part of the global arms industry or working on its behalf.
The National Press Club of Australia lists 81 corporate sponsors on its website.

‘The cruellest part of speeches like this is the harm they do long after the cameras are packed up. Trans and gender diverse people, especially young ones, already face some of the highest rates of distress and suicide in the country …’

Read some of the powerful testimony we gathered from JCA supporters as part of our submission provided to the Royal Commission over the weekend.

The full submission is available at: https://t.co/CbTQnOy2IK

Today in Haaretz there is an article accusing Israel of being a terrorist state (plus committing crimes against humanity). It was not written by a Marxist member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
It was written by former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert.

@pritamghosh60 @PressClubAust There's a lot of independent media in Australia - it's a very healthy industry

This has a great daily newsletter that collates the daily headlines of the indies

@Voc001Victoria @RonniSalt @cheryl_kernot @Peter_Fitz Probably just a belch...

[Cheryl Kernot @cheryl_kernot]

The Bush Summit, Gina in a Stetson presenting Hanson with a toy bulldozer & asking all present to make bulldozer noises. 🥴
Now clearer than ever- Gina owns One Nation & Hanson echoes what Gina wants as policy. Horrifying.

[Abul Rizvi @RizviAbul]

On the day the ABS issued NOM data that proves this claim to be BS, this new One Nation Senator continues to repeat it.

[Max Uechtritz @plesbilongmi]

“If you do not confront a bully, then the bully will keep on bullying.”

Good read on the lack of solidarity in the White House press pool - and same goes for #Auspol pack with Hanson

Best photo! 👏👏👏👏👏

As Bob Dylan sang, "And every one of them words rang true, and glowed like burning coal..."

[Ben Davison @Ben_Davison1]

Yesterday while Hanson was calling 13,000,000 workers in Australia lazy & impossible to sack at the national press club her sponsor, the worlds richest woman Gina, was sacking hundreds of workers from her profitable Roy Hill mining corporation

Just awful
