Interesting to hear your views about Essendon FC this morning, including M Hurley’s retirement. But disappointed no mention of the retirement of @PAFC hero Robbie Gray, aka GOAT, 271 brilliant games, cancer survivor, humble team player, inspiration to all.

[ABC SPORT @abcsport]

Lots to talk about this morning in the world of sport!

The latest on the Essendon coaching situation, Clarkson’s arrival at Arden St and NRL powerhouses flexing their muscles.

Join the #Offsiders team from 10am.

Are Australians sleep-walking their way into mass surveillance?

Yes. Yes we are. https://t.co/oNzBuzpp5H

On his death in 1965, Herbert Morrison, Clement Attlee’s heir presumptive for 25 years, was found to have a list of his eight favourite songs in his wallet in case he should ever be invited on Desert Island Discs – he never was.

Media independence, and protection of journalists and whistleblowers, underpin the transparency and accountability of our government.

Enough is enough.

It's time to bring Julian Assange home.

@Jenn1964Hussey @RageSheen @MothershipJLH My husband is Swedish and we are so baffled by successive Australian governments campaigning on lower and lower tax rates. I don't want lower taxes- I want appropriate taxes to fund public service and that money spent efficiently.

[Philip Dearman @trulyreal]

@MargotSaville @crikey_news Yes, this is a gr8 look fwd to the politics of the next 3 years. 'There is no let up. There is no end, or other, to politics. The smart people know that, they already think that, you say. Read the memoirs of the Obama years. I’m here to tell you: a lot of them really don’t.'

[Crikey @crikey_news]

There are a lot of lessons to take from the election, but a big one is for Australian media.

@Chrisjwarren argues that now is the time to axe the press pack, rethink old, dry formats, and recognise that there's precious little useful news in News Corp.

[Crikey @crikey_news]

An unprecedented level of editorial oversight has been sought for a story in a move viewed as an existential risk to press freedom.

It’s a groundbreaking move, writes @marquelawyers and it could put Australia a step closer to “an Orwellian nightmare”.

Another Crikey read on media and #AusVotes2022 . "Whether belligerent, frightened or in a nauseating pursuit of fame, the band of journalists covering the federal election have made themselves the story in the worst possible way.[...]Journalists are staring oblivion in the face."

[Crikey @crikey_news]

The one clear loser in the federal election campaign so far is journalism, with its fixation on meaningless gaffes and outrage content.

Australian journalists are fiddling while democracy burns, writes @d_hardaker. It must end [FREE TO READ] #auspol

[Rodney Tiffen @RodTiffen]

The Murdoch press directly affect very few votes - their declining, aging readership is set in their ways; and if they are going to become anti-Labor, probably already have. Their indirect impact is still probably greater than that, on other media's sense of what is newsworthy

[Philip Dearman @trulyreal]

⁦@Leo_Puglisi6⁩ Thanks for your interviews with party leaders. Really effective journalism. Your conversation with ⁦@AlboMP⁩ about media made me think about this recent Meanjin piece on media power. FYI. https://t.co/cWmpNbvqMR
