An excellent episode with Rachel & Paul plus @davemilbo.bsky.social's great UN coverage. Per Jo elsewhere re weekend edification: I agree. Not since the days of Barry would I say that Insiders is moral or intellectually instructive & stimulating. We're so lucky to have this fantastic alternative ✌️🙏✌️

The #SundayShot is up! On a big show, expert panellists @paulbongiorno.bsky.social & @rachelwithers.bsky.social trawl through a big week @ the UN.

Having just inhaled SBS's incredibly important #PeoplevsRobodebt, the Morrison Government's clinical persecution of our most vulnerable citizens, driving them to despair & sometimes death, is shocking all over again. When will someone finally be held accountable for this cataclysmic failure?

The final day in Lattouf v ABC. At 10.15am on Wednesday 24 September, Justice Rangiah will hand down his judgment on the penalty the ABC must pay for my unlawful sacking. Some thoughts.

Astonishingly, a party with 18 times as many MPs as Reform has received one-third less coverage on BBC News at 10.

This is shoddy but unsurprising behaviour from an institution that continues to lionise Ben Roberts-Smith despite multiple courts having determined him to be a murderer.

A heads up that there won't be a #SundayShot this week. Our apologies but Dave has a gig and I'm busy opening two @brisbanefestival.bsky.social shows (THE PLATYPUS & BALEEN MOONDJAN - I encourage Brisbanites to book!). We'll be back next Sunday - don't let #insiders drive you mad in the interim!

The #SundayShot is up for your catch-up viewing! Nazis on our streets, Woodside driving Govt policy - we delve into the bleak and search for hope in the future. Watch, like, subscribe...and, if you can, donate so we can keep providing an alternative to #Insiders. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNQs...

Jesse has been fighting the good fight in WA for years with courage, commitment and resilience. It's great to have him making his debut on the #SundayShot. #pickaside

We have a great #SundayShot this weekend. Marian Wilkinson has just written a devastating Quarterly Essay on Woodside and the petrostate of WA and is on the panel with activist and journo Jesse Noakes. Plus Dave reports from Camp Sovereignty in the aftermath of the Nazi Assault. Join us!

Am very proud to have written for Meanjin a couple times. This essay I think is the best thing I’ve written, because, alas, it remains relevant meanjin.com.au/essays/the-t...

Here's me. "Anti-Semitism envoy, condemner of watermelons, declines to comment on Nazi terror attacks on First Nations and Palestinians"

Bloody hell, Crows.

What a debt we owe @asherwolf.bsky.social.

One could be forgiven for being confused about current definitions of anti-semitism.

A masterclass in how to use your platform and privilege, from Hugh Bonneville at the Downton movie premiere.

Government secrecy and obfuscation was one of the key reasons we chucked out Morrison and his putrid pals. What the hell is the former Minister for Gambling doing now? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

The brave whistleblower Richard Boyle featured on tonight's Media Watch. Let's give him & his wife Louise some time to recover from the hideous ordeal inflicted upon him by our Govt by donating to his GoFundMe - we're just 4% away from reaching our target. www.gofundme.com/f/whistleblo...

The #SundayShot Is FINALLY up for your viewing pleasure and should now be more or less a smooth watch (although Wendy is mostly a disembodied voice…)! So please do watch (& subscribe) as @arielbogle.bsky.social, @wendybacon1.bsky.social & @boganintel.bsky.social are great. youtu.be/cWigtErbgfs?...

A few gremlins (again!) with the #SundayShot this morning. (Wouldn't it be nice to have a proper studio with flawless internet connections or even face-to-face conversations...?!) We're in the process of getting a video of the show uploaded to YouTube for your catch-up viewing delight - stand by!

Hope is a powerful drug.

Your weekly reminder that @davemilbo.bsky.social & I eschew Sunday morning sleep-ins to bring you the #SundayShot. We're joined by @wendybacon1.bsky.social & @boganintel.bsky.social + an interview with @arielbogle.bsky.social. Make our sacrifice worthwhile! Watch! www.youtube.com/@TheSundayShot

Here's the line-up for this week's #SundayShot. Please watch us! (& also like, subscribe and give us money) It's going to be a great conversation. @wendybacon1.bsky.social, @boganintel.bsky.social, @arielbogle.bsky.social, @davemilbo.bsky.social. Iran. Sovereign Citizens. Not the Midwinter Ball.

Now his ordeal is finally over, let's kick in a little more cash for Richard and wife Louise to have some time out to recover from the eight year nightmare. www.gofundme.com/f/ato-whistl...

Some good news at last for whistleblowing hero Richard Boyle.

Me watching #insiders versus me watching the #SundayShot

The #SundayShot is up! Dr Cameron Murray, @janecaro.bsky.social, @davemilbo.bsky.social & I tackle economics first thing on a Sunday morning, & Ukraine Democracy Director Dr Olga Oleinikova talks war fatigue in Ukraine. Watch..and donate at theshot.net.au/support-us/ www.youtube.com/live/0N1IKHJ...

Funny and true and well worth a watch, not just because it features friend of the @theshot.net.au @purplepingers.bsky.social! www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9k-...

On this week's #SundayShot we gab about the Roundtable gabfest with @janecaro.bsky.social and Fresh Economic Thinking's Cameron Murray, plus an interview with the Ukraine Democracy Initiative's Olga Oleinikova. Please join us! Subscribe to our channel! Do all the things!

It is incomprehensible that the Govt hasn't enacted wholesale reforms to the previous Govt's "Targeted Compliance Framework" even after its own report warned the current rules leave vulnerable people "exposed to unjust and excessive processes". Thanks to @squigglyrick.bsky.social for his vigilance.

The initial smear was bad enough. The attempt to hide it was utterly reprehensible. Why did the @sydmorningherald.bsky.social let Knott completely rewrite the story to correct his embarrassing "stuff up" & claim it had merely been "updated"? And why is #Insiders not interrogating this properly?

Always on the ball. www.npr.org/2025/08/16/n...

The #SundayShot is up for catch-up viewing! Watch @chriswallace.bsky.social. @michaelpascoe01.bsky.social & @purplepingers.bsky.social below or listen on your favourite podcast platform. Please subscribe to our channel too (or get your kids to while they can). www.youtube.com/live/_T1WMif...

While #insiders has Freedom Boy, the #SundayShot has @purplepingers.bsky.social! No comparison. Tune in a 9am Sunday AEST at www.youtube.com/@TheSundayShot for a great chat with @michaelpascoe01.bsky.social, @chriswallace.bsky.social, @davemilbo.bsky.social and yours truly.

I am so sick of being told artistic expression needs to be done in a ‘safe’ way. Art and intellectual debate aren’t supposed to be ‘safe’. They’re supposed to be challenging, provocative and profound. If you want ‘safe’, stay on the couch.

A very moving passionate plea from @withmeaa.bsky.social youtu.be/qMq8OUw95-U?...

Google suggested this in my feed. Haven’t clicked through, obv, but, gosh, I wonder who could possibly have written it?

#SundayShot is going from strength to strength. it really should be picking up a serious head of steam and a major audience expansion. kudos.

The #SundayShot is up! An insightful conversation about the dead hand of centrism with @amyremeikis.bsky.social & Scott Burchill and - unlike #insiders - we had an interview with the good Richard - Denniss cf Marles. Watch, like, subscribe and, if you can, donate. 🙏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkaC...

Knock me down with a feather.

This weekend's #SundayShot sees Dr Scott Burchill making his debut plus Shot favourite @amyremeikis.bsky.social returns! And we interview @australiainstitute.org.au's @richarddenniss.bsky.social on his new essay, "Dead Centre: How political pragmatism is killing us". Enjoy your Sunday ☕ with us.

Richard Boyle didn't act with any malice. But it's hard to conclude the ATO isn't doing so in its endless pointless pursuit of this brave man. michaelwest.com.au/one-last-swi...

Julian Assange & Craig Foster help carry banner & march on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Thank you to them both. Thank you to all who marched, who called for peace & an end to the genocide. The world is watching. #FreePalestine

The good Supreme Court. #MarchforHumanity
