Listening to James O’Brien talk to Laurence Rees (writer of The Nazi Mind: 12 Warnings From History) is terrifying. The parallels between now and then are stark. Dehumanisation of targeted groups, using conspiracy theories to propel propaganda. Playing on innate fears. It’s happening again.

What was until recently the town square of politics has become the preserve of the bad, mad and deranged.

On International Day for Elimination of Violence Against Women with 3 colleagues I have authored this piece calling for news organisations to do more to address gendered inequality in newsrooms to improve reporting on gendered violence 👇🏻@womensagenda.bsky.social womensagenda.com.au/latest/the-m...

The media's role on eliminating gendered violence must include addressing their own newsrooms

Australian newsrooms must address their toxic, gendered cultures to improve coverage of violence against women and help prevent this global crisis.

The most significant thing about the exodus to Bluesky is that it constitutes a complete rejection of the liberal media notion that the far-right somehow deserves to be interacted with and placated.
