Thanks @AmyRemeikis for being the only person in media to remember what the Deloitte report that used AI is about – that they couldn't provide the government with anything to say their system of welfare punishment is operating lawfully. Payment suspensions must stop.

These two Australian volunteer doctors — after arriving just two days ago — are traumatised by the scenes they encountered in Al Shifa hospital in Gaza. Yesterday delivering a baby girl by caesarean section from the lifeless beheaded body of the mother. With Israeli drones
I want u to hear these 2 doctors from Australia sending their last words, fully aware they could be killed any second. What they’re describing is horror that defies belief. 70% of their patients are kids…

More revisionism from the IPA. The IPA helped to build this world. Richard Allsop, IPA research fellow, 2008: “Two of the most fundamental liberal freedoms are free movement of people and goods across borders … immigration will always be higher under a Liberal government.”

People want the truth. They want reporters to be courageous. But when it comes to media literacy, Australians might be shocked to learn how difficult it is for the media to write about the world in plain language.

Our newsrooms have trapped themselves in the death-logic of passive language.
