@GvanOnselen Is this the hill you want to die on? Defending the appointment of incompetent racists?

@SenatorWong Yet you keep selling arms to Israel

@ricardomackenzi @Uber_RSA @WesternCapeGov I know driving in unroadworthy cars and talking and texting on phones while driving (with a sprinkle of jumping traffic lights thrown in) is the main national sport but I’d rather not pay to participate.

@ewnreporter Getting in a car in South Africa is playing Russian roulette.

@Stephen85927231 @MChandlerMather This is the “my one great uncle smoked until his 80s, never got lung cancer” therefore cigarettes can’t possibly be unhealthy of the property crisis argument

@SenatorWong @FinancialReview @AsiaSocietyAus @AsiaSociety Palestine. Actions speak louder than words.

@sallyrugg Wrong. It’s obviously 100% Everyone is gay. One or two exceptions possible I guess but guessing is only game available so

@RyanCoetzee An increase in quality employment that pay liveable wages. Too many companies relying on exploiting desperate people.

@BobSmit54406315 @JCitzzz @MChandlerMather Ah yes, Smith. The most aboriginal of all the surnames. Not an immigrant background story in your background, hey?

@SharonPeetz @GvanOnselen I don’t see how anyone would be surprised by that? They exclusively appealed to a conservative white base

I'm an ARC Future Fellow in Sociology, multi-award winning author of 14 books, former lawyer, an Australian Muslim Palestinian Egyptian intimately connected with grassroots community- and yet in the past 7 months I have had a mere 1 invitation for an interview across all platforms of our national broadcaster. That was @abcnews in October 2023. Since then nothing.
ABC radio- zero invites
ABC Q&A- I have not been invited back onto the program since May 2021 and not for want of my name being pitched. There has only been 1 other Palestinian guest, @iamthenas, and he has only been invited once despite the fact Gaza has been a topic in multiple episodes.

This is deliberate, calculated censorship and erasure. There is no question about my qualifications to speak on what is happening, on my scholarly expertise and lived experience. I can run circles around the people on this episode of Insiders for example.
This is anti-Palestinian racism in its purest form. It is racial segregation by our national broadcaster which platforms Anglo guests to offer their ideologically loaded opinions whilst Palestinian experts are excluded and deliberately ignored.
That I am not surprised by the ABC's institutional racism (hello @antoinette_news ) is not the point of this tweet. My point is that we will keep on writing the record of the ABC's role as handmaiden to genocide. We will keep on recording this history of racial segregation and the names of the people who make the decisions and the bystanders who chose silence over principled journalism.
So ABC, are you brave enough to invite me?
