Outstanding ABC #MediaWatch tonight. @lintonbesser.bsky.social reports on Antony Catalano, his alleged #VAW crimes plus the damage he's done to regional newspapers. Important commentary on AI use by Google and in news journalism. Superb. iview.abc.net.au/show/media-w...
Any time I post a factual statement about a guy being controlling, abusive or being convicted of violent assault of a woman, there will ALWAYS be a guy who replies:
• shouldn't we have sympathy for his mental health issues?
• must we now report the crimes of a person when they die?
Srsly. 😠 #VAW #DV
Actor Nicholas Brendon.
Actor Nicholas Brendon has died, aged 54yo. Media reports on his acting, art, and some crimes. A half sentence "arrested for assault of two separate girlfriends" in one report. He was CONVICTED and the assaults were VIOLENT. Our Australian ABC News doesn't even mention these assaults at all #VAW #DV
The Australian ABC News report of Nicholas Brendon's death doesn't even mention the separate convictions for assaults against 2 separate girlfriends at all. Not even a passing mention. #VAW #DV
Actor Nicholas Brendon has died, aged 54yo. Reports mention his acting and art at length, and his violent crimes and substance abuse issues with sympathy. One half sentence casually mentions "arrested for assault of two separate girlfriends". He was convicted and the assaults were violent. #VAW #DV
Headlines from the past 24 hours. Australia has a problem: Sexual abuse and violence against women and children. Our media rptedly reports the perpetrators as being "good guys" "loving fathers" or "struggling with mental health issues". And our politicians are silent. 😠 #auspol #DV #VAW #ChildAbuse

ACM chairman Antony Catalano
Media boss Antony Catalano charged with violent assault & false imprisonment. The court has been told he'd suffered "recent mental health issues".
I am SICK TO DEATH of men's #sexism #misogyny #VAW and controlling abusive behaviour being excused due to "mental health issues". #auslaw

Ch7 News: "An innocent young man has been stabbed to death here ..."
Okay. When a woman is murdered by her partner or ex in a domestic violence crime, I don't remember the news EVER using the adjective "innocent" to describe her. But he's often called a "loving father". Why is that? 🤔 #VAW #DV
No happy #IWD 2026 marked by the grim reality that it took a dead man’s emails for the world to believe the testimonies of 100s of women & girls.
I urge scrutiny of how Epstein’s cabal & abuse have been health-washed
And for more attention to the survivors of #VAW 👇

#Vaw Violence against women by the weakest most pathetic regime always surges under republican administrations.
The 250 strong antisemitic nsw police unit will be doing a lot of sitting around imo.
Meanwhile, Aboriginal Deaths In Custody and #VAW go unchecked, no legislative change, no police taskforces, no funding increases, no service delivery support.
Two things are being overlooked in the #EpsteinFiles
The complicity of doctors
The extent of violence
My new piece @bmj.com #IWD #Epstein #Healthwashing #VAW
#Epworth must be held responsible too!
They'd received enough complaints from his peers to warrant an investigation as minimum action.
False #endometriosis diagnosis, unnecessary surgery = #VAW

What does a ‘good bloke’ have to do in Australia before his word is worth less than a woman’s life? Asking for a [dead] friend.
