There's been a massive effort over the last few weeks to prepare for the first Insiders broadcast from the show's new home at the ABC's Northbourne studios in Canberra. Some of the country's best tv directors are here in the capital. Nice to see it get a little mention on air.

Just got some bizarre spam on my phone. It's so bizarre it's worth sharing.

The initial message: "IT'S TIME THE MEDIA SPOKE UP & DIDN'T SPIKE DEBATE, TO RESCIND BANS PARTING SPOKES THAT SPEAK TRULY!"

The fabulous @LandauSoph keeping the country informed as the Murray continues to rise - encouraging Riverland residents to keep cool and stay up to date with flood warnings. 👼🏼

The cat is out of the bag. Please share. The Port Stephens Examiner is in imminent danger of closing.
Without support from government, business and the community, it will stop publishing in a matter of weeks.

Hello my name is Emilia, I have been a reporter for the ABC for 8 years, routinely report on issues of national importance, and I still crop and save all of my photos in Windows Paint.

Genuinely awful news. Sarah Tomlinson was enthusiastic, funny, hardworking, and a fierce advocate for community and regional media and the power of radio.

She was one of my first mentors and trainers in community radio and I've learnt so much from her

I don't know how many times public servants need to hear it, but:

Government information is public by default unless there are grounds to exempt it from disclosure. Not the other way around.

I can't imagine being so frightened of my own shadow.

As a former reporter in Broken Hill, just north of the Wentworth Shire, I used to look at this, uh, very eccentric logo and think 'how on earth was that designed?'

Finally I know, but only because of its sad demise. (Triple byline definitely warranted).

See the damage caused to these windows by 3 gunshots fired at Canberra airport near check-in. Airport evacuated and big AFP presence as they sweep the entire terminal and interview the alleged shooter.

Without key details, including answers to questions like "are you investigating this as a murder suicide" it's impossible to report on - this story should shock the nation and lead bulletins, but instead it's slipping by unnoticed. @ANROWS @OurWatchAus
