In my experience, much of ABC management lives in inexplicable terror of two things ... Israel lobbyists and News Corp. Hopefully, the money it has to pay @antoinettelattouf for the most ridiculous sacking in Australian media history will make a teensy, if temporary, difference

@hughriminton So sad. I first worked with Peter on the Sydney Sun in 1984. A perfect gentleman, always helpful, as impressive as he was unassuming. One of a kind.

Very sad to hear of the death of the ABC’s Peter Ryan OAM, at just 64. I first worked against him in Melbourne in the 1980s, a fine journo and a gentleman of the old school. My thoughts with his wife and family.

This was a shameful episode in the ABC’s history. The readiness of management to succumb to lobby groups was never more blatant. That it was over the use of starvation as a tool of war casts a dark stain over the public broadcaster that it is yet to erase. abc.net.au/news/2025-06-2…

A US official has called out the ABC. It's over a hit job they tried to pull off on a nuclear reactor in Georgia. The public broadcaster claimed the plant is behind rises in power prices. But the official who runs Georgia's grid says the claims are “disingenuous and wrong”. 🎧omny.fm/shows/ben-ford…🎧

A sad and beautiful film on the ABC Sunday night about what it’s like to be an Australian Jew opposing Israel’s campaign in Gaza. Spoiler: he’s called a self-hater and traitor. Directed by my amazing partner Brietta Hague. It’s a rare look at Jews challenging the Israel lobby

#CivilWarMovie must be the most inaccurate portrayal of war correspondents in cinema history. Has Alex Garland ever met one? ‘That gunfire is making me hard!’ FFS ‘We don’t ask questions’ about tortured hostages. WTF?

So it seems they’ve finally murdered him. I followed Alexey Navalny around Russia in 2017. Funny, charming, principled, insanely brave. And how the Kremlin feared him. Navalny’s very existence was a daily reminder of what an amoral little man Vladimir Putin is and will always be.

Twenty years ago today I was injured in a suicide bombing that killed cameraman Paul Moran. He was the first media casualty of the Iraq war. Paul was one of the finest cameramen I worked with, a loving husband to Ivana and loving father to his baby daughter Tara. 1/

And above all, the person who showed me what true strength, grace and resilience means, Paul’s extraordinary wife Ivana Rapajic-Moran.
