Hell yes, @cathywilcox.bsky.social
When contacted by SkyNews.com.au at the time, Ms Wilcox unleashed an extraordinary expletive-laden rant.

“Why in God's name do you think I would answer the questions of Murdoch's petty little propaganda operation, to give them more fuel for their campaign of hatred?” she said.

“The irony of me having to answer to charges of hatred when your grubby outfit gives not one shit about what you do to people you target.

“Remind the boss about how much they cared about free speech when one of theirs was in the spotlight.

“Political correctness gone mad, eh? You and your hit squad goons can fuck right off.”

I can't imagine that anyone with a heart - or a brain - would not be as equally stunned & as horrified as David Shoebridge looks after clarifying these kids can be as young as 10 yrs old. The Australian govt will step up to absolutely outlaw this practice, won't it? It must. Without qualification.

Great Barrier Thief: Dyson Daniels emerges as key to unlocking Atlanta Hawks' NBA playoff hopes
Australian guard has endured a mixed campaign but will be one of the Hawks’ main protagonists in a marquee match-up against the New York Knicks The so-called “Great Barrier Thief” will be unleashed on to one of basketball’s most storied stages this weekend, as Australian Dyson Daniels storms into an NBA playoff battle against Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. The Atlanta guard has, like his team, endured a mixed season. But both have finished strongly to make the Hawks a dark horse as the sixth-seed in an Eastern Conference bracket considered wide open.

Frogs and sheep in the Gwydir wetlands near Moree have also been bogged after WaterNSW stopped environmental flows, researchers say An “incomprehensible” disaster is unfolding at wetlands in New South Wales after the state water agency abruptly stopped environmental flows in the state’s north-west, leading to the deaths of turtles, waterbirds, frogs and sheep. Researchers from the University of New England (UNE) have been desperately trying to help more than 300 turtles they say have been left to die in the Gwydir wetlands near Moree after WaterNSW stopped environmental flows following a complaint from a landholder.
