Turns out 55 New Zealanders are on a Fed list of those who came to Vict, not 17 Premier Andrews says. “I don’t control the borders, I don’t control Sydney Airport.” The Fed govt is pointing the blame at Victoria for breach of the NZ bubble, which Vic is not actually a part of.

And that’s a wrap for me in #vicfires coverage for now. Gippsland still has a long road ahead but I’m so glad help is on the way for many. Be safe people.

@benschneiders and while we’re at it, those who are claiming 150-200 people are being investigated for arson can get in the bin. There had been ONE arrest in Vic for arson so far. Police have not been able to get into fire zones to even check. #vicfires

Advise your local MP, Senators perhaps even the Communications Minister. Your complaints will need to be specific. If possible highlight how reporting has breached an organisation’s own guidelines and editorial policies. It is far from perfect but it is all we have. 7/7

Antony Green pays tribute to SA political commentator Dean Jaensch, who passed away earlier this year. I took his politics class back in 1986. His knowledge and passion were second to none. #SAVotes

Thinking of friends & colleagues at News Corp as the company reveals job cuts. So disappointing. We need a sustainable media sector that focuses on ethical, public interest journalism in order to support a strong democracy. Press freedom in Oz has fallen as corruption has risen

Caroline Jones was a giant of the ABC & a role model for so many of us. I was honoured to give her @withMEAA ’s Gold Honour Badge in Sept 2019 @WIM_Aus conference. Condolences to her family. Hugs too to her ABC & Women In Media families. A much loved & respected & kind journo.

Disappointing to see reports of complicit “frendly media” during the #Robodebt scandal. Partisan reporting is dangerous and undermines public trust. We need ethical, public interest journalism to sustain the future of our industry.

Shaun Gladwell's entry for the #ArchibaldPrize2024 features detained Wikileaks publisher #JulianAssange . The prep piece was done in chocolate on a banknote during a visit to Belmarsh Prison. The final piece is amazing too. You can check it out at @ArtGalleryofNSW #FreeAssangeNow
