Listening to another cracker from @janfran.bsky.social and @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social and thought of these guys when they proposed a PR push for the media. Cheers!

Imagine thinking that THAT'S what "went wrong with Lattouf". A very cool answer from JS too. What even is this entire exchange?? Fucken hell.

Respect to Crikey for being the only place willing to cover the transformation in Australian media happening right now. No other outlet’s media reporters seem to think it’s interesting to their readers - couldn’t imagine why. www.crikey.com.au/2025/07/07/g...

It's true. It is so good.
Absolutely loving @janfran.bsky.social Conspiracy? About the Waterfront Dispute. Fascinating. There’s 2/6 episodes up on the ABC Listen app. Can’t wait for the rest. It’s so good.

"In relation to the claim of racial discrimination. The ABC says that this claim must fail because Ms Lattouf has not proven there is a Lebanese, Arab or Middle Eastern race." Pls hold while I think about this statement for the next 12 to 24 years.

So not to hate because I clicked, but why is there a whole article in the Guardian based entirely off one Instagram post from Paris Jackson?

Leaving aside more overt incidents, it seems to me the indifference in some quarters of Australian media, politics and society to the slaughter of tens of thousands of people in Gaza might be part of the Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism the Oz says has “rarely shown its head”
Christ. Editorial in the Australian today.
