Intimidated huh? By a tiny badge. Guess it’s comparable to how intimidating it is for Palestinian children to have bombs drop on them in their sleep. Or how offensive bombs are to those slowly dying under the rubble. I wonder who should be sacked for this fatal intimidation?
Exclusive:
@qantas
has counselled a number of cabin crew who wore Palestinian flag badges on a flight, breaching the airline’s uniform policy. A passenger told us he felt intimidated and
@AustralianJA
is calling for staff involved to be sacked. Watch:
BREAKING: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been referred to the International Criminal Court as an accessory to genocide in Gaza making him the 1st leader of a Western nation referred to the ICC under Article 15 of the Rome Statute.
100+ Australian lawyers back this move
BREAKING: it took 100+ days, but NSW police can now confirm there’s no evidence “gas the Jews” was chanted outside the Opera House.
@cameronwilson
& I investigated the authenticity of the AJA edited & distributed video
Then I was savagely targeted for doing accurate journalism
My work is done. I’m retiring from parenting!
Miss 9 came home from school the other day distressed.
“Mum at school we had a worksheet & we had to describe our superhero & what ‘he’ does. Why does it have to be a man? I told my teacher my hero is Malala Yousafzai & Rosa Parks”
EXCLUSIVE:The original source of videos appearing to show protesters chanting “gas the Jews” has refused to provide unedited footage. One verification expert concluded “there’s an audiovisual mismatch” & “audio has been repeated” & police dont have answers
I look forward to receiving apologies from The Australian, Sky News, Australian Jewish Association, Executive Council for Australian Jewry and at least a couple of WhatsApp groups.

Another pro-Israel WhatsApp lobbying the ABC.
It makes me sick in the stomach to see people celebrate my sacking.
It makes me sick in the stomach to see an alleged Ita Buttrose response saying I’m now gone.
It makes me worry about the ABC’s integrity
Some words following my Fair Work Commission conciliation with the ABC today.
This is such an important case because it is not just about me.

“If I wasn’t sacked what was it? I’m keen to hear all the creative euphemisms that will be used to try and explain this backflip to me, ABC staff and Australians who are very concerned about their public broadcaster. Was I unshackled? Liberated? Untied?”
The Australian government just restored funding to UNRWA. Yesterday it cancelled humanitarian visas to Palestinians while they were on a plane here. The flippant yo yo-ing when it comes to Palestinian lives is cruel and astounding.
Channel 7 wrongly named a Ben Cohen as the Bondi attacker (a common Jewish surname). At a time when racial tensions are high, this is a significant journalistic failure. In 2021 the same network wrongly named an Indigenous man as Cleo Smith’s abductor.
This is Zomi Frankcom. An Australian aid worker feeding starved Palestinians. Local media reports she was killed by Israeli airstrike.
There are distressing photos & video of her mutilated body & passport identifying her.
4 other foreign World Central Kitchen workers also killed
PM Albanese wants "full accountability" over IDF's murder of Aussie aid worker Zomi Frankcom in Gaza. Here's what he could do to stop the killing (beyond lip service):
-impose economic sanctions
- stop providing arms
-cut diplomatic ties
+ stop calling Israel a 'close friend'
“Nour Haydar a political reporter in the ABC’s Parliament House bureau has resigned over concerns relating to the broadcaster’s coverage of the conflict between Israel & Hamas as well as its treatment of culturally diverse staff”
@calumjaspan_
Tell me if I was being a jerk or this is fair. I got asked to speak at an event for a lawyer’s association I asked about a speakers fee & was told there isn’t one. I replied saying I wouldnt ever ask a lawyer to do work for nothing, so why is it ok to ask this of me. No reply
HELP NEEDED: I’m working on an important story and need a case study. Does anyone know of a person who has caught skin cancer from someone who was within a metre of them? I’m really struggling to find someone so your help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

This little Palestinian girl was killed, after an ambulance came to rescue her from a car where she was the sole survivor in her family due to IDF gunfire. The ambulance then got bombed. But ABC & BBC can’t seem to find the words to describe how she came to be ‘dead’ & who did it
Remember when that presenter got sacked after sharing a
@hrw
post about Israel using starvation as a tool of war? Turns out this ‘controversial’ fact is also backed by
@UN
, and umm … lots more starving children.
I'm pretty confused. The UN Security Council passed an immediate ceasefire resolution in Gaza & release of hostages. It's the 1st successful resolution since Oct 7 because US didn't veto it. Yet this big news cant be found on ABC or Age homepages. Not even in world section
So given
@GladysB

Couple of facts:
1. Evidence shows Pro-Israel lobby group pressure was a key factor in ABC sacking me.
2. A reminder that Israel is still using starvation as a tool of war.
Could I be the first journalist sacked for telling the truth and sharing facts?
“Evidence given to the Fair Work Commission – which finished its hearings into Lattouf’s case last week – suggests political pressure from pro-Israel lobby groups was a key factor in the ABC’s decision.”
#MediaWatch
My tween daughter just told me I’m the “worst, most strict mum” compared to her friends folks coz:
- I won’t get her an iPhone & TikTok
- Packed lunches are ‘too healthy with veges
- I don’t allow slumber parties
- I say no to video games & get her to walk dog
I’m pure EVIL.
I’m absolutely in support of the Aboriginal flag to be flown permanently on the Harbour Bridge. I can’t believe it’s taken this long to happen. I’m also confident I can get my tradie cousins to make it happen for $2899 cash only (of course). And no, we don’t come back for repairs
My favourite types of anti-vaxxer are those that inject Botox/collagen into their faces and/or snort Coke off public toilets that they scored off a shady bloke, chain smoke, take steroids etc but hey “I don’t want to put that untested vaccine in my body”.
Hot tip: Sam Frost if you want fewer people to judge you & more people to empathise with you -- maybe, just maybe don't use the word 'segregation' 30 sec into your video. This isn’t 1950s Alabama. You ain't Rosa Parks.
OK. Thanks.
That is all.
Bye.
Instead of taking a moment to grieve the senseless loss of innocent lives in a busy shopping centre, there a lot of people with blue ticks and flags in their usernames saying heinous, hateful things on here.
Using tragedy as an excuse to fan bigotry.
Im now bracing myself for the fixation on Jessica Rowe’s hurt feelings by media colleagues & other white women. A predictable cycle. Rather than examine whats required to be anti-racist there’ll be sympathy about ‘pile-ons’ & lots of ‘sending hugs’ her way. Media: DO BETTER

5)ABC comms fed my sacking to The Oz
Hey journos, can I get a show of hands or who has approached Christian Porter’s office with questions and details of the allegations? He says no one has. Find it hard to believe - so keen to know.
I trust the corporates putting together expensive video montages ahead of International Women’s Day won’t forget Palestinian women and baby girls. Here’s some inspo for your scones and tea event
I have a lot of new followers. Welcome, and thank you. You may be interested in a book I wrote about structural racism including the role power structures like the media play in upholding them. Quite relevant to my current legal case.
An arson attack on Liberal MP Tina Ayyad electoral office in south western Sydney. Ayaad was the only coalition MP to sign an open letter voicing concern for “catastrophic crisis” Palestinians face. I’m yet to see any media coverage of this intimidating attack
The intention of tabloid media campaigns which target individuals with a platform is to get us to shut up. To look away, to stop investigating & stop revealing harm. Essentially to stop doing our job. If we don’t try to shut up they try to discredit us
I’ve had a lot of racist crap hurled at me recently.
‘Go back to Libya’ has to be my favourite.

100+ Australian lawyers back this move
It’s International Women’s Day. Today I’m spending it in the witness stand @ Fair Work Commission having to prove ABC sacked rather ‘liberated’ me. All due to sharing a HRW post that starvation was being used as a tool of war in Gaza & after pressure from WhatsApp lobby groups
I’m double vaxxed & understand Omicron is more mild. My experience:

I’m at the airport, waiting yo board a flight and I’ve spotted a man in his 60s reading my book ‘How to Lose Friends & Influence White People’. I’m so excited I want to go up and hug him. But I’m tweeting instead and trying to act cool.
I know Twitter isn’t usually the place for saying nice things. But I do want to acknowledge how tired
@ScottMorrisonMP
looked. It’s not an easy time to be a leader. He looks like he’s hardly rested. This isn’t a report card of performance just a nod about the bloody tough gig
My husband said that if I throw a 1st birthday party for our puppy, he'll leave me. So I'm considering a joint divorce/puppy party to cut down on catering costs. It seems to be the most reasonable/economically viable option.
Albanese talks about students needing to “feel safe” at university. Totally agree.
EVERY university in Gaza is now rubble. No student is safe. Many are dead, dying or disabled. Hence uni encampments. War crimes are more than feelings. But I guess that’s not an easy photo op?
I entered 2022 sick with covid & exhausted.

Analysis of the Aust Jewish Assoc videos by fact checker RMIT CrossCheck found a number of signs that suggest audio was edited… the audio is often out of sync with the video, section of audio was repeated and some audio was repeated while different clips were being shown.
Canada, Netherlands, Japan, Spain & Belgium have suspended arms sales to Israel
The Australian government hasn’t. It focuses on misleading mantra that we don’t export ‘weapons’
Its started obscuring specific export data for Israel that it used to share
Daniel Andrews’ request that Victorians wear masks is not backed up by the science, and looks like more empty actions from a man who likes to look busy, writes Andrew Bolt.
ICJ: Israel must desist from killing, injuring, destroying Palestinian life & preventing births.
These acts fall within the scope of the Genocide Convention.
Note: These rulings aren’t enforceable by the court - Israel likely to ignore - but they are politically significant
@3AWNeilMitchell
Why shouldn’t I? These are all said and revealed in open court. It’s my reputation that lobbyists and some abc managers have sought to destroy. And now the lies are unraveling. There’s also no jury, there’s a deputy commissioner presiding over it.
So, I’m making my acting debut in TV drama House of Gods. ‘Leila’ is an Arabic speaking radio presenter who unearths something pretty damning. 🫣
Tune in 830pm Sunday.
“The hundreds of members in both groups - one called Lawyers for Israel & another called J.E.W.I.S.H Australian creatives & academics - were encouraged to write directly to ABC boss David Anderson, ABC board & Communications Minister” via

Thinking of both Brittany Higgins & Lisa Wilkinson.
Editorial meetings happening at The Australian & Sky News right now.
“OK, what have you got to smear them? Any unpaid parking tickets, photos from school formals in a skimpy dress. Gimme something
Janet! Rita! Bolt, come on!”
Oh I’m just disappointed the ABC’s lawyer didn’t also call me “hysterical”.
(Given they’ve opted for character assassination in lieu of any evidence against me. My direct manager told the FWC she advised me that I was allowed to post credible sources like HRW on social media)
Translation: "I'm not mad Israel, just disappointed. But don't worry, you do you. We'll keep arming you. Oh and Bibi did you get the BFFE bracelet I sent you? 😘😘"

Incredibly humbled and moved to see many demonstrations of support today. Outside of FWC in Sydney but also in front of ABC studios across various cities and regions in Australia.

A Sydney inner west yoga studio says it won’t reopen until Dec 1, because it doesn’t believe in “segregation”. Ahh these prosecco flavoured progressives are such much fun. I mean, choosing not be vaccinated is *exactly* the same as being born black AKA historical segregation
NSW reports 11,201 cases. I reckon it’s much higher than that. There are plenty of people testing positive at home with RAT tests and either too unwell or not bothering with the shit show PCR process at the moment.
#nswpol
Right on queue - this far right hate group AJA - operating in Australia is already making excuses for Zomi's murder. Read their timeline for more outrageously divisive and unhinged rhetoric. Also (strangely) taking aim at Aussie media outlets over Zomi's killing.
To be clear I think ABC should defend staff unfairly under attack. Hence I said “rightly so” to BBC when citing examples of staff - from those with defamation launched against them to those who also shared HRW post.
#NoFearNoFavour
must apply to diverse staff under attack too
A reminder of this statement from ABC & Ita Buttrose:
“Abhorrent & incorrect” that the ABC doesn’t protect journalists.
“Quite simply wrong” Anderson/Buttrose bow to lobby pressure.

I don't like it when Happy Holidays replaces Merry Christmas. I don't think erasing/ignoring 13 million Aussie Christians celebrating Christmas is inclusive. Why don't we settle on Merry Christmas AND Happy Holidays? We don't (nor should) say Happy Holidays instead of Eid Mubarak

I dont know about you,but I know lots of Sydney folks who are VERY relaxed in this lockdown. Having friends over for meals, picnics at the park etc. I sense it's a mixture of lockdown fatigue & not really seeing the health risks as all that bad. Also, no real end in sight or plan
NEW: Police say AJA’s video “not been doctored” but edited into compilation. Another protest videographer suggests audio synced up to different video backing analysis from RMIT. Video shows ‘Palestine is occupied’ chant same point as AJA ‘gas the Jews’
