NEW Episode, must Watch‼️
Jan Fran and Antoinette look at the Australian media’s coverage of the U.S and Israeli attack on Iran and show how a narrative gets set in the first 24-48 hours.
@janfran.bsky.social @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social
Unsure how to report on this fresh absurdity? Translation: the U.S. and Israel, both nuclear powers who have already flattened Gaza, now claim a moral duty to 'preemptively' bomb Iran. Why? A sudden concern for international law and paranoia Iran might develop the very weapons they already have.
My career goal !
I've been called far worse things than a 'clause'.
I got forwarded this workplace law newsletter which discusses how media unions want the new ABC enterprise agreement to include worker protections for reasons including political opinion and not be barred from certain topics
Friendly reminder that Kyle and Jackie O’s very public “fight” just happened to land neatly at the end of the survey ratings period. Funny how that works. Fresh survey starts, show stays top of mind, media froths on cue. Total coincidence, obviously.
Anthony Albanese called Grace Tame “difficult” in a News Corp word game. Donald Trump was merely “president”.
Throughout history women who fight to better society get punished and labelled problems
Men who are convicted criminals and whose policies kill are more likely to get a pat on the back

Great episode

There's excellent background on Vanessa-Turnbull Roberts and her allegations in the latest #WeUsedToBeJournos podcast.
Plus Antoinette and Jan unpick the political and media establishment's attacks on uppity women, Francesca Albanese and Grace Tame. #auspol

Breaking: Vanessa-Turnbull Roberts complaint to police about her sexual assault in her Canberra workplace has now been referred to the AFP.
BREAKING: After being shut down by Melbourne University Publishing in September 2025 amid controversy over alleged Gaza-related censorship, literary journal Meanjin has been given a lifeline by QUT, which says it has “a long history of supporting progressive and new voices and artists.”
Just came across this @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social
Interview on youtube. 200k+ views. Seems even more relevant now @albomp.bsky.social is holding the hand of a bomb signing genocidal PM Israel PM. The world needs to see how fucked our gov is & owned by Zionists

This is how we SOCIAL COHESION Okkkk?
BREAKING: Australia rushed Israel’s Herzog to ICC.
Relax, not the Hague but drinks at International Convention Centre.
There's no arrest warrant like Netanyahu but Herzog was cited by UN inquiry concluding genocide + current ICJ referral
Australia must investigate not sip bubbles with war criminals
A good read from Amnesty Australia about your rights if protesting - President Herzog (AKA Signer of Bombs that Blow Up Children and Assistant in a Genocide). Yes the Minns government announced draconian rules but its not unlawful to protest tomorrow

What and where ?
Let's see if our panel on censorship gets censored by the government/lobbyist alliance.
NSW government has already made contact with Newcastle Writers Festival board about including Palestinian-Australian author Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah, ABC reports
When will the bullying & intimidation stop ?
Albanese's baby photo opp and caption that it's a reminder of "who we are for" is posted on the eve of welcoming Israel's Herzog - a man who signed bombs that blow up children and who is complicit in a genocide.
A SOLD OUT Melbourne was incredible. Don't let them outdo you Sydney tonight. Grab the few seats left:

Evidence Labor takes its new broad yet draconian hate speech laws very seriously.
Israel’s president Isaac Herzog can sign bombs and appear in a UN genocide conclusion, yet still not qualify as a hate preacher and can traipse around Australia.
Relax though. We can still social cohesion etc etc
