Delighted our #4Corners stories Hiding Behind Tombstones (The new legal tactics blocking justice for survivors) and The Silence (AFL’s last taboo) are nominated for @MelbPressClub #Quill Awards. 🙏 to all the people who put themselves on the line to make these stories happen.

@Milliganreports @AllenAndUnwin Wow - looking forward to this!

A timely interview on the importance of standing up for principles over #Israel/#Palestine, despite the inevitable backlash if condemning #Israeli occupation, and thanks to my former publisher @louiseadler for supporting my early work on the Middle East when it would have been far easier to look away.
Here’s the book Louise is referencing, my first one in 2006, My Israel Question, that caused a storm, the Israel lobby tried to ban it and the public responded by turning it into a best-seller: https://t.co/Aax9s5emZD

The High Court of Australia will on Wednesday hand down its judgment in the case of GLJ v Diocese of Lismore. It’s a decision victims of historical instutional abuse and their lawyers around the country will be watching nervously as it goes to the vexed issue of permanent stays.

[Louise Milligan @Milliganreports]

We covered the legal fight surrounding this issue - and the heartbreak it is causing - in our 4 Corners story in May, Hiding Behind Tombstones. https://t.co/fnrCTQ3ONf

@richardthewatts Advice from my daughter Richard: sit with it, accept it, it will pass. And then remember how accomplished you are. Take care.

The AFL can lift the burden of its gay players, but is choosing not to https://t.co/GO6yGEdg67

What is it about the #AFL that means no male player has ever publicly identified as gay? Watch the #4Corners documentary, The Silence, now on ABC iview: https://t.co/lYcgUB0zGX

[Mary Fallon @MaryFFallon]

So much unseen work goes into a @4corners investigation and no-one works harder than @Milliganreports. This is a glimpse into the background machinations that rarely get aired. Required reading. #abcnews

[Louise Milligan @Milliganreports]

ANALYSIS: I’ve spent the past few months investigating The Silence in AFL. One thing is certain: that silence is palpable and asking questions invokes defensive responses. Here’s an account of that experience.

How wonderful to have @TheMikeOD share his story to help push forward the conversation about tackling homophobia in the AFL. Articulate and courageous. Catch the full story by @Milliganreports on #4Corners tonight https://t.co/rXKqNfzsYx

[Louise Milligan @Milliganreports]

"We [will] get up and wrap our arms around him & say, 'you are one of us, we love you, you are brave, you are braver than anyone in this league’.” The interview with @BobMurphy02 for tonight’s The Silence #4Corners is so moving. @freodockers lucky to have this top class human.

[Mary Fallon @MaryFFallon]

Language counts. Footballers tell ⁦⁦@4corners⁩ how homophobic slurs can internalise self loathing. That it’s part of the culture. Their terror that if teammates discovered they were gay they would hate them. ⁦@Milliganreports⁩

[Mary Fallon @MaryFFallon]

I can assure everyone it is a thoughtful and articulate contribution from @TheMikeOD on @4corners

[Michael O'Donnell @TheMikeOD]

I was interviewed for tomorrow’s Four Corners episode by the lovely @Milliganreports. I have genuinely forgotten what I said, so feel free to find out with me tomorrow at 8.30pm on ABC.

[Mary Fallon @MaryFFallon]

The kind of story with real heart that @4corners does so well - pulls together the big picture, holds a mirror to society, and starts a conversation. With @Milliganreports @hildebrandt_c @SCurnow1

[Louise Milligan @Milliganreports]

I've been so moved by the bravery, decency, honesty of so many people in our next 4 Corners story, The Silence, on why no elite #AFL male player has ever publicly identified as gay. It's a difficult conversation many in #footy now acknowledge must be had. Watch Monday, @abctv.

[Louise Milligan @Milliganreports]

My next story with ⁦@MaryFFallon⁩ and ⁦@Jess_Longbottom⁩ is up ⁦@4corners⁩ on Monday. Thank you to all of the people who bravely put themselves on the line, in their hope for change. Watch Hiding Behind Tombstones Monday night 8.30 ⁦@ABCTV⁩ and iview.

[Mary Fallon @MaryFFallon]

@Milliganreports @4corners It’s always epic with @Milliganreports such a privilege to work with you on stories that really matter @4corners

[Mary Fallon @MaryFFallon]

@RoseBJackson Liz often talked about your achievements Rose. She would be so thrilled for you.

It’s time to Rewild our Inland River System. The Darling Baaka is collapsing & it’s resilience is all but beat! We must choose - we carry on down this path of failed greedy, divisive, commodification and extraction management or we start to rewild #nswpol https://t.co/kXn8HYj0Nj
