Great analysis by @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social, Dr Richard Bean and @ettemedia.bsky.social

Antoinette Lattouf and data analyst Dr Richard Bean crunched the numbers, and what we found points to a relentless, wide-ranging and coordinated media offensive. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYgk...

I’d missed this so thanks again to @janfran.bsky.social & @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social of @ettemedia.bsky.social for flagging this.

Hey Jay I'm an Australian journalist based in Sydney. I run an independent media company - keen to chat to you. What's the best way to reach you ?
Remember when MAGA folk said they're voting Trump because he's "America first" & "anti-war"?
What about Trump announcing a 'Board of Peace' - all men, all white only to start bombing the shit out of Iran?
Now he's calling other countries "crazy bitches".
Hilarious if it weren't terrifying.
Jan Fran takes a look at what Queenslands hate speech laws are really about, why artists are getting phone calls from cops and what the wider ramifications are. Hint: they’re not good.

Like many of us, @janfran.bsky.social & @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social were [almost] speechless with rage at the Israeli ambassador's #NPC gaslighting.
His propaganda for a genocidal state was so obscene, he needed not just factchecking, but pre-bunking. #auspol

3 mins and Albo is finished
Albanese's address to the nation.
"Australia is not an active participant in the war"
... just a passive participant folks
Great discussion on the NPC’s platforming of a genocide explainer yesterday over on #ETTEMedia #auspol
Thanks @janfran.bsky.social and @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social for what you do #freepalestine

Women Who Win. Ooft. It's here.
'Blending memoir with powerful storytelling, this urgent new book traces the lives of Australian women who resisted, were punished, and still prevailed.
From wins that are
resounding, to ones that are costly, others invisible – yet all of them transformative.'
No rest for the wicked!
Israel's ambassador to Australia Hillel Newman has said:
- UN has "nothing to do with justice" or "peace and security"
-Iranian school girls killed by US-Israeli strikes said "I do not believe" its a school
-Has dismissed "lies about 'genocide', 'famine'"
NPC will host a wonderful Hasbara event
National Press Club platforming Israeli ambassador - knowing IDF killed 250+ journalists - for lunch chat. In the same week Israel admits doctoring Lebanese journalist image after murder. Disgraceful & dystopian yet somehow still shamelessly in full view, to be broadcast on ABC
It was $2.6million in the end
'Some names you’ll recognise others you’ll wish you’d known sooner.
Threaded throughout is Lattouf’s landmark victory – one woman, armed with ethical resolve, taking on Australia’s most powerful media institution sparking a global conversation on power, prejudice & the price of integrity'
Sneak peek of my book audio recording of 'Women Who Win' - out April 29 but you can pre order it now

Exclusive: Kyle Sandilands has hired Antoinette Lattouf’s star barrister Philip Boncardo - who helped successfully sue the ABC for unlawful termination.
Also representing the shock jock is silk barrister Scott Robertson who grilled former NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian before ICAC.

Queensland says it's tough on hate speech and arrests an 18-year-old student for wearing a shirt that says "from the river, to the sea." Meanwhile the state's One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson, who said there are no "good" Muslims, remains unscathed and even gets a boost in polling.
UK's High Court ruled in favour of independent journalist Owen Jones in a defamation case brought by Raffi Berg, BBC news online's Middle East editor, over an article in which Jones alleged that Berg fostered a culture of 'systemic Israeli propaganda'. BBC is yet to report on this development.
Heartening to see the Iranian women’s soccer team given humanitarian visas. Australia can be a refuge for those fleeing persecution.
Aussie women and kids should be brought home too — no matter who their father/spouse was. Kids and mums aren’t something to kick around like a political football.
I have been telling her to head on back here!
We love to hear it
