My investigative piece looking into international students’ allegations of racial profiling for the @thecitizenweb is out now. You can read it below:

Settling into Melbourne life, many #international #students share a common complaint – that they are targeted by Myki ticket inspectors. @filmentho investigates https://t.co/V1l7RnKCh4

“Over the years I have hosted Media Watch, several executives have wanted me sacked.

But they left and I survived. As did the program. And I need to thank the ABC for that.

It’s remarkable that any broadcaster tolerates a program that rips into it as we have done.” #MediaWatch

1. 🧵 So, I’m going to name and shame some journalism plagiarism — starting with work stolen from my current outlet, @newlinesmag

In May 2021 — we ran a feature on Arab Divas. @nytimes ran a nearly identical piece in July, complete with the same photos

The MediSecure data breach was bigger than Optus's and contains some of our most private information. My latest with @choiceaustralia looks at what happened, and how it might affect you.

The latest edition of the @GriffithReview is out in a few weeks. It’s all about Status Anxiety and in it I have a piece of reportage about extreme weather and what happens to the dream of home ownership when areas become ‘uninsurable’ https://t.co/ttyaVFLKKN

They dump us in bins. They dump us in car boots. They dump us in the bush. Now they're wrapping us in plastic and rags and dumping us in rivers.
A woman - who has not yet been identified - has been killed and her body thrown away like trash in Melbourne. On Sunday, her body was found in the Maribyrnong River at Flemmington. About 90 minutes earlier, the body of a man was found in the same river a suburb away. Police are yet to confirm if their deaths are related. However, the man who found the woman has told media plastic bags and rags were on her body. She is the 51st woman killed this year. No one is charged.

Important 🧵 to read. FOI emails reveal writers/poets were punished & had events cancelled by State Library of Victoria after board members proactively scoured their social media. If wordsmiths said anything about Palestinian human rights - cancelled. This is Australia 2024

@thecitizenweb @filmentho Good, necessary work in this article. I live near Melb Uni and work near RMIT and travel through there daily.. this sits with what I’ve observed. Inspectors also seem to be around a lot more during o-weeks and early semester.

[Jarni Blakkarly @JarniBlakkarly]

Last year my investigative journalism student @filmentho at @cajunimelb did this incredible investigation into Myki inspectors targeting international students. He surveyed dozens of students, dug through government reports and lodged successful FOI requests. You can read it here

“We would see Chinese officials saying, ‘look at the US they don’t have free speech because Julian Assange is in prison’… we’ve got to be principled in our advocacy wherever it’s happening, because it is happening in western liberal democracies and in countries like China”.

[SBS News @SBSNews]

Labor senator Fatima Payman has called on the prime minister and government to sanction Israel. It's understood she is the first federal Labor parliamentarian to break ranks by publicly describing what is happening in Gaza as a genocide.

Victoria’s parliament has become one of few in the world to ban MPs from wearing the keffiyeh, the linked to the struggle for a Palestinian state for decades. It’s also banned watermelon earrings.
