ICYMI last night’s #4Corners on poor behaviour by #police, it’s well worth a watch. I’ve worked with many excellent and under-appreciated police over decades, but it’s vital they’re held to the highest standard and this story by my colleagues Dylan Welch and Elise Potaka is powerful and disturbing.

Very proud our #4Corners story, Scarred, on #endometriosis surgeon #SimonGordon is shortlisted for the The Walkey’s Women’s Leadership in Journalism prize. Thanks so much to the former patients & medical professionals who bravely stood up for women, to expose a terrible history & make change. ❤️💪

For those of you who have been asking for a couple of years, ABC News is now on Bluesky. You can find it @news.abc.net.au

I've just finished reading Shellybanks by @milliganreports.bsky.social It's SO good! Well done, Louise, I couldn't put it down.

If you haven’t read Pheasants Nest I’d recommend reading it first. Shellybanks follows the story. I couldn’t put it down.

Thank you so much. ❤️

Well said, @lintonbesser.bsky.social on Media Watch tonight.

#MothersDay message from harried working mother multitasking in her car to other mothers. 📚❤️

For everyone who was asking about my session with Emily Maitlis and Amy Wallace at the Opera House…

@milliganreports.bsky.social To you Louise and your followers. SHELLYBANKS is a must read novel. It should / will win awards. I'm looking forward to seeing it adapted to screen. A slow burn start - Kate & Liam [Pheasant Nest - Louise's 1st novel] are recovering on a Greek Island,

This was an amazing experience interviewing Prince Andrew slayer Emily Maitlis and Virginia Giuffre’s cowriter Amy Wallace in the Opera House today.

#insidetheepsteinfiles with @maitlis.bsky.social #amywallace with @milliganreports.bsky.social @sydneyoperahouse.bsky.social was heartbreaking, unbelievable and inspiring all that the same time. (I know I know a real contradiction). We need to remain hopeful that the truth will prevail 🙏🏻

First, gorgeous, review of my new novel Shellybanks in SMH: ‘…”tight. And bright. And unflinching’, this could well be a description Milligan’s own prose style, which is also fresh, spare and vivid… Shellybanks is as powerful as Pheasants Nest and just as haunting.’ www.smh.com.au/culture/book...

Watching Four corners fourth episode for 2026, "Scarred" led by @milliganreports.bsky.social Only a quarter of the way in and already in tears This is why we need publicly funded journalism iview.abc.net.au/show/four-co...

Premier Jacinta Allan on our #4Corners: “I’ve also referred these allegations to Victoria Police. Without commenting on specific case, let me be clear: Performing unnecessary surgery is a crime, removing a woman's organs without a clinical need is a crime, & assisting in that conduct is a crime."

“Dropped the ball”. Medical regulator sought no expert opinion in knocking back women’s complaints about Dr Simon Gordon going back years. & hospital told nurses who wanted to complain to AHPRA to go through its lawyers so would be legally privileged (hence secret). www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

ICYMI: tonight’s full #4Corners, Scarred on gynaecologist Dr Simon Gordon is here. YouTube for international viewers. youtu.be/EwnqZ12O1sQ #endometriosis #medicine #surgeon

Gynaecology's open secret. Surgeon repeatedly removed women's tissue & organs for “severe” #endometriosis. Pathology showed little/no trace of it. Multiple complaints by clinicians & patients to hospital & AHPRA. Nothing happened. Our 7-month #4Corners investigation. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

A 7-month investigation into allegations of why tissue & reproductive organs were removed from young women. #Endometriosis affects 1 in 7 women. They're relieved it's in spotlight. But when does acknowledging suffering become something altogether different? Scarred, #4Corners Monday, 8.30pm, ABC TV.

the answers to these questions are deeply awful

"[I feel] violated," Simon Gordon performed seven surgeries for "severe" endometriosis on Courtney Paton, when her pathology results from his operations repeatedly showed no signs of endometriosis? #Auspol

Oomph... That is a very hard read @milliganreports.bsky.social ... I'll be watching. Thank you for your reporting. #breakingnews #4Corners

This is truly awful.

BREAKING from me #4Corners: Why did top gynaecologist Simon Gordon perform 7 surgeries for "severe" #endometriosis on Courtney Paton, when pathology results repeatedly showed no signs of endometriosis? Why did he remove Courtney's ovaries & uterus by time she was 25? www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

I’d better pick up my headgear game because delighted to report the lovely Marieke Hardy will be in conversation with me at Cinema Nova, Thursday March 5 for Readings Books for my Melbourne launch of my forthcoming novel, Shellybanks. Booking details here: www.readings.com.au/events/louis...

BREAKING: I have just received this from the Adelaide Festival Board as a (former) Adelaide Writers Week participant. They have apologised to Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah, cancelled Writers’ Week, expressed regret and the remaining festival board members will now step down.

For the record as I am being asked, I made a personal decision as an author to send this to my friend Louise Adler earlier today. #Adelaidewritersweek

BREAKING: Last update for my journalistic year. Following our #4Corners investigation God Complex into neurosurgeon Greg Malham & complaints by patients & staff at Epworth Hospital… Medical regulator AHPRA has imposed conditions on Dr Malham’s registration. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

To the beautiful people of my former home of North #Bondi, Australia holds you in its broken heart tonight. In Bondi we always felt so safe, so alive. It’s devastating that that was destroyed today. To the Jewish community, always so central to the heart of Bondi, we are so incredibly sorry.

Analysis from me about historic passing of laws in Australia’s smallest jurisdiction, the ACT, to allow childhood abuse survivors to sue institutions for vicarious liability. What about other states? Lawyer Judy Courtin says they need “the balls & the ovaries”. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Watch reporter John Lyons’ story Chasing Trump’s Billions, on #4Corners ABC TV tonight 8.30 AEST & support public interest #journalism. Via YouTube for international viewers. This story famously led Donald #Trump to threaten John’s questions were “hurting Australia”. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Union members at the ABC and across the media industry stand with John Lyons and reject the US President’s unfounded attacks on our colleague. #MEAAmedia

RIP #RobertRedford. This was his best. Inspiration to all of us journalists whose mission is holding truth to power. Still such an important message on the corrosion of democracy. Solidarity to my colleague John Lyons, preparing a story on the current climate for our program #4Corners. #journalism

Me too! Proud to be part of this 64-year tradition of holding truth to power. Thank you. ❤️

Heartbreaking hearing Mick sharing stories of, not only his appalling repeated sexual assault, but also their desire to cover up and pay hush money is re-traumatising. Impressive journalism by Four Corners Louise Milligan. #fourCorners #4Corners

Highly recommend ABC #4Corners report on the Plymouth Brethren by @milliganreports.bsky.social. The trauma suffered by every one of the people who've escaped this cult is tragic. I hope they receive the comfort and support they need and deserve. 😔 #religion #auspol iview.abc.net.au/show/four-co...

Private investigators. A political Mr Fixit. “These guys are giving me the big-time creeps.” “You’re dumb, you’re dumb… you'll end up… in the Lake of Fire.” What happens when you challenge the #Brethren business model. Brave men spoke out. #4Corners #auspol. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

ICYMI, our entire #4Corners, Big Brethren, is here. Posting YouTube so international viewers can watch. Thank you to all of the incredibly brave people who spoke to us. m.youtube.com/watch?v=lFEI...

@milliganreports.bsky.social is absolutely killing it tonight! Important four corners article about far right Christian interference in Australian politics And their covering up of child abuse Powerful reporting. Well done team!

Jaw dropping story Louise. Thank you!!!!

Good work. Praying for justice for Mick.

"Today I’m here for one purpose. And that is to expose the cover-up." Some days, I meet a source whose courage absolutely knocks my socks off. Today, Mick Dover is risking one million dollars to tell his story to 4 Corners. Watch ABC TV 8.30pm & YouTube. #PBCC #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

BREAKING from us at #4Corners: Former Morrison govt Health Minister Greg Hunt working for a Brethren company which received $54 million in COVID-19 contracts from Health Department while he was Minister. Mr Hunt says decisions made by his department, not him. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...
