We've filed our defence against allegations by Lachlan Murdoch that Crikey defamed him in an article published in June about the role of Fox News in inciting the US January 6 insurrection.

CEO @mrwillhayward has released this statement. Read it here: https://t.co/4RhufTgNIb

We've filed our defence: "Taking on this fight is risky ... However, we believe that there is an issue of fundamental public importance at stake, and that is why we are defending the case brought against our company and our journalists."

The popularity of misogynist internet celebrities such as Andrew Tate reflects a growing, chilling, anti-feminist leaning, writes @ben_clark56.

And it's not just online – political figures on the far right are courting the “angry young men” cohort.

A 16yo girl reported boys making rape "jokes" at school. The school dealt with it internally, including asking her to "forgive" the boys. Then she was raped by a boy from her school.

An important piece by @AmberMaySchultz on how this girl was failed.

Today Crikey is taking a stand for freedom of the press in the face of a legal threat from Lachlan Murdoch. We’re publishing a series of lengthy legal demands sent to us over the past two months as well as our lawyers’ replies to those demands. https://t.co/mdCTwFMsUS

[Crikey @crikey_news]

Lachlan Murdoch threatened to sue us for publishing public interest journalism.

We believe in media freedom. So today we’re standing up to Murdoch and publishing the legal letters from his lawyer to show you how abuse of media power works in Australia.

[Crikey @crikey_news]

At 5pm today we’re going to be doing something a bit unusual. We’re going to lift the veil to reveal how media power works in Australia.

We believe it’s important and we think you will too. Keep your eyes on Crikey at 5pm and join us for the full story.

.have a good evening.

[Imogen Champagne @ImogenChampagne]

You might have heard the news that Lachlan Murdoch sent us at @crikey_news a legal threat over an article by @BernardKeane.

We took it down at the time, but now we're republishing it to clarify recent media reports about that legal threat. Read it here👇

This article was first published on June 29 but taken down after a legal threat from Lachlan Murdoch.

Angus Taylor could not stop addressing female Deputy Speaker Sharon Claydon as "Mr Speaker."

Is it because, in the Liberal Party, he probably spends most of his time talking to men – or can the man just not go off script? #auspol
