Some personal news: I’m thrilled to be taking on this new role of China Correspondent and returning @abcnews to Beijing. abc.net.au/about/media-ce…

Inside the fascinating movement to 'Make America Procreate Again' for 7.30. This was my last piece before I take a big chunk of leave... returning to DC early next year to cover this amazing part of the world: youtube.com/watch?v=v_iiB4…

@swegen31 Look, it's a long way from the Mount Wellington cable car debate but I still miss Tassie! Thanks for your kind words. Hope you're well too mate

@L_Day when you were covering the highs and lows of public life in Tasmania could you have imagined starting a news story with “Diddy was denied bail…” Excellent reporting, hope you’re well!

After the horrible incident involving @LaurenTomasi, our crew was tear-gassed and my camera operator shot in the chest with either a rubber or foam bullet. We're both safe but this shouldn't happen to members of the press just trying to do their jobs - youtube.com/shorts/YQTeKaI…

Stay strong, @MagdaSzubanski We are all with you ❤️

Everything dope, including the Pope, comes from Chicago! Congratulations to the first American Pope Leo XIV! We hope to welcome you back home soon.

@JOxenbridge Thanks Jason, much appreciated!

Brilliant reporting from @L_Day in Greenland and the forces of Trump.

@L_Day Just watched the show. You had access to a lot of interesting & important people who each added their own perspective to this piece. Great reporting 👍

Greenland's problem? 'Not enough MAGA hats' according to the man known locally as 'Trump's Greenlandic son' - abc.net.au/news/2025-05-0…

@WalrusRiderYT @abcnews Really appreciate that, thank you!

@abcnews @L_Day Just watched it. Congrats on a comprehensive exploration of the topic without political bias that is so common on every story involving Trump..

@DirtyBludger Thanks for watching and for your kind words!

@L_Day Great story Lauren! 👏 I wasn't aware of how many different perspectives there are on the Trump threat, nor the injustices of Denmark's colonisation. Edified.

I’m going to save this video and play it for my friends when they’re totally wasted,

Very excited to share that I’ll soon be moving to Washington DC as North America correspondent with the ABC. I'll miss South-East Asia, its people and their stories but looking forward to working with the fabulous DC bureau team.

UPDATE: A US-funded hospital in a refugee camp near the Thai-Myanmar border has been forced to suspend services as of today, following an order by US President Trump freezing all foreign development assistance for 90 days. (1/4)

“Yes I feel fully recharged after a restful holiday”

For years, the Syrian regime denied that captagon production happened within territories it controlled. Yet in the first three days since Assad left, we've found industrial-scale captagon trafficking and manufacturing facilities in: 1. Mazzeh Air Base (likely affiliated with the Air Force Intelligence Directorate) 2. Latakia (found at Munther al-Assad's Syria Car Trading Company) 3. Douma (found at a major production facility believed to be controlled by Maher al-Assad--equipped with all of the precursor materials you'd ever need and even pretty chandeliers!) 4. Undisclosed Location (a warehouse affilicated with Maher where captagon pills were dumped) 5. Undisclosed location (a 4th Division HQ facility where bags of captagon were found) It looks like local community members and opposition forces are incinerating pills and disassembling facilities as they identify them. We should expect much more to come. Video credit of the Douma raid from @QalaatAlMudiq
