You know you have been developing too many crime docos when your phone keeps autocorrecting the word "multi" to "Milat".

@DanaMorse_ I think it’s the *bits in bold just in case you missed them* for me.

And so the biggest redemption made-for-a-movie-script story begins.

Well said @Melbchief - the vast majority of us have no idea how tough sitting in the chair in prime time every single night for 17 years can be. Tracy IS a deadset legend amongst both fellow journos and the public.

If you are an Australian politician with something to hide, the last place you want to be is across a desk from Tracy Grimshaw. Deadset legend of our profession. https://t.co/xmfcJBqL6e

Honoured to have made the #warnie doco that aired on 7 tonight. We were trying to show the behind-the-scenes Shane, who was so kind and helped with charities and was a loyal friend and dad … so I’m pleased people enjoyed watching it ❤️❤️❤️

He has the same amount of hours in the day as us, doesn’t he. Holy hell.

Some work news: I have accepted a role as Head of Development at EQ Media, where I was Series Producer on The Disappearance of William Tyrrell and Granny Killer: The Unsolved Murders last year. Can’t wait for the new challenge.

Hey UComms, phone spam surveys at 6pm weekdays is literally the WORST time ever for robotic phone surveys.

Being a journo is generally safe in Australia - compared to countless other countries - except for situations like this.

Protesters at Parliament House drive veteran 7 reporter Nick McCallum from the crowd as he approached demonstrators for comment. They pursued him up the road, yelling abuse as he retreated @theage

Watching the WA disappearance of little Cleo Smith. After working on the Disappearance of William Tyrrell series most of the year it gives me a familiar sick feeling in the bottom of my stomach. I just really hope she is found quickly.

[Jo Townsend @jotownsend]

Hey @ErielleReshef I’m a journalist in Sydney, Australia - trying to contact you on a story. I sent you a DM! Thankyou!

[Jo Townsend @jotownsend]

Being struck in the head with a full can is no joke. Watching Melbourne feeds today, aghast.

The moment @paul_dowsley is hit (again) this time with a can of drink.

A reminder for Victorian/South Australians, night one of the William Tyrrell documentary airs this Tuesday evening.

🦠NEW VARIANT—a new #SARSCoV2 variant C.1.2 just identified in South Africa & several countries, with concerns it could be more infectious and evade vaccines. #C12 also has mutation rate that is nearly **twice as fast** as the rate of the other variants.🧵
