It was great to meet with fellow Melbourne Northerner, and independent journalist Antoun Issa from where we spoke about the state of legacy press in Australia, the struggles of being a mainstream media journalist, and the future of independent media in a climate of subjectivity and stenography.
A fantastic episode of @Boganintelpod with former Guardian journalist and Deepcut founder @antissa about what its like working as a legacy journalist in corporate media, and how independent media is the future.

A unique insight from a great journo.

Announcement to expand Tindal air base, Northern Territory accommodating 6 US nuclear B-52 bombers, continues down the path towards rapid militarisation

The deployment is in place to send a message to Beijing that war with China is almost an inevitability & Australia’s role in it is all but certain

Good on him for refusing to help raise funds for IDF murderers. Shame on the Zionists who pretended it was an event for children.

Typical Murdoch gutter trash headline from the Hun too, take a stand against Israel and the genocide and they’ll say it’s antisemitism. I support “Captain Carlton” on this. The Zios are a protected species in this country.
