Such a good read @BecArmitage abc.net.au/news/2023-09-2…

Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin went from mercenary warlord to coup leader. Then came his spectacular fall from grace by @BecArmitage @luciastein_ abc.net.au/news/2023-08-2…

My @guardian piece on Prigozhin’s extraordinary uprising: “Even if the rebellion fails Putin has never looked weaker. In the body-strewn Shakespearean play of his long Macbeth-like presidency, we are deep into act five.” theguardian.com/world/2023/jun…

My favourite photo has to be this snap of a family who shared their story with @AvaniDias and @patidarsom. Komal says the decisions of India’s government today will determine her kids’ future. “My children’s future will be good … we will always hope for the best.”

At ABC, I’ve worked with so many dedicated and inspiring people - from journalists and editors to producers, technicians, switch board staff and beyond. We all deserve to feel fairly compensated, secure and valued in our workplace. I’m standing @withMEAA #DontDiscountABC

Do you remember that annoying AF song 'Shallow' by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper? Well, that song was No.1 when I last had an official pay rise. The Australian bushfires hadn't happened yet. COVID-19 wasn't even a thing. #DontDiscountABC @withMEAA

I’ve been fighting for years to be paid at the level I’m working at. I’m now on a Band 4 contract and paid more. That will end soon. My pay will drop but the duties I perform and the level I work at will remain the same. We need genuine progression. #DontdiscountABC @withMEAA

This from @wing_kuang is funny, gripping, delightful and fascinating, just like the woman herself! abc.net.au/radio/programs…

Went down some real rabbitholes with @luciastein_ on this one about Patriarch Kirill, the disappearing gold watch and the latest schism inside the Orthodox Church. Thanks @C_Stroop for your insights! abc.net.au/news/2023-01-2…

The wild story about the pilot who got sucked out the windscreen, and the teeny tiny mistake that led to the mid-flight catastrophe abc.net.au/news/2023-01-1…

"The parallels between the two riots, almost exactly two years apart, are uncanny" @carringtonAU @luciastein_ abc.net.au/news/2023-01-1…

Great read from @tomrjoyner on Putin's chef, diamonds and the shadow army: Why Russian mercenaries are suddenly all over Africa abc.net.au/news/2023-01-1…

Yes, a new COVID variant could emerge in China. But that doesn't mean it's time to panic abc.net.au/news/2023-01-0…

How rumours of Hollywood's Ozempic drug use went mainstream, fuelling a shortage in diabetes medication My latest with ⁦@BecArmitage⁩ abc.net.au/news/2023-01-0…

@Brocklesnitch This salad is pretty cheap and adaptable and it recommends you scoop it out of the bowl with corn chips: today.com/today/amp/reci…

What is your go-to quick and easy summer meal? Bonus points if it’s cheap, I’m on a budget and groceries are expensive. Give me ideas. What are salads you like.

Happy 2023! I've had a huge year with @abcnews international team and have thoroughly enjoyed working with all our correspondents, producers and camera operators on some incredible stories. Here's a little thread of some of my faves from our crew this year. Thanks for reading!
