I'm just saying, @davemilbo.bsky.social can really write a headline.

Just when I think @davemilbo.bsky.social surely can’t top his always incredibly thoughtful & beautifully written pieces comes this absolute must-read gem. It’s as moving as it is incendiary. 👇 theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

@ronnisalt.bsky.social is one of Australia's most gifted writers. This is unarguably one of her most powerful and important pieces. Read it, share it, reflect upon it, and act for peace, compassion, empathy, and understanding. Thank you, @ronnisalt.bsky.social. theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

In the rancid, hate filled quagmire that is “journalism” today, I am so grateful for the astute and compassionate (sometimes brilliantly fired up and downright hilarious) contributions of @davemilbo.bsky.social and @ronnisalt.bsky.social. Legends. X

I just contributed. I pay for better journalism.

"If I could ask one question of the Prime Minister right now, I would like to understand his definition of “hate preachers that promote violence”, because signing missiles that fall on children and hanging out with a genocidal army would absolutely fit the bill if he was of any other religion. "

I can see many of you in despair at the state of Aust journalism in MSM/ABC - as highlighted during weeks like this Please don't despair We have excellent journalists & commentators who have excelled this week They can be found here 👇& here #auspol 👉 truenorthnews.substack.com

Here's me. "Weaponising the Bondi tragedy is a betrayal of all our children"

Here's @ronnisalt. "Don't look back in anger" theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

Could all the American influencers pushing in tandem for more guns in Australian just Fuck. The. Hell. Off. Thank you.

If you're scared this tragedy will by weaponised by those pushing hatred, division & control, same. It's a pattern that can change nations. We've already seen Netanyahu claim the Muslim who charged the shooters was Jewish. Empathy, patience and truth. Everything else is unhelpful

Thanks @davemilbo.bsky.social,Jo Dyer & all superb panelists for great 2025 recap. My ‘high’ was the ‘shaky’ birth of the now smooth-running #SundayShot! We’re so lucky to have a great program to watch every Sunday! My low, Albanese Govt continued refusal to condemn Israeli genocide of Palestinians🍉

Thank you Shot presenters, panellists and producers for your efforts during 2025..... and now NEVER back to you, Speersy.

Last episode of Sunday Shot starts at 9. Doug Cameron and Zoe Daniel join us on the panel, plus we reflect on 2025 with @ronnisalt.bsky.social, Grace Tame, Purple Pingers, @thomasmayo.bsky.social, Nasser Mashni, @amyremeikis.bsky.social, @cherylkernot.bsky.social and more

Here's @boganintel.bsky.social. "The death of bread and circuses"

Letting you know in advance that our final #SundayShot for 2025 is a ripper! One of our most popular guests @dncameron.bsky.social returns & we're thrilled to have @zoedaniel.bsky.social with us. Plus cameos from some of our favourite contributors across the year...and Xmas MERCH!! Not to be missed.

Under a secretive billion dollar new deal, refugees in the Australian community are being ripped out of their homes and sent to Nauru. "It's a wild escalation... Scenes similar to ICE'", says Ogy Simic of the @ASRC1 www.instagram.com/reel/DSCEmf_...

Here's me. "Hyperwealthy pedophilic genocidal dickweeds versus the rest of humanity"

Here's @lucyham.bsky.social. 'Far-right watch: the neoliberal think tank director platforming ethnonationalists'

ICYMI: Outstanding #SundayShot. Thanks @instanterudite.bsky.social @davemilbo.bsky.social @deepcutnews.bsky.social's @antounissa.bsky.social & former #Meanjin Ed @anatolitis.bsky.social for a powerful important convo. The segment on the Adolescent Man Box report superb too. youtu.be/0r_02fQR5TA?...

Sunday Shot is on now. Jo and I are joined by the editors of Deepcut News and Meanjin, to talk about the news of the week and doing media in and around Zio bullshit. @antounissa.bsky.social and Esther Anatolitis. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r_0...

If you're Victorian, don't miss the opportunity to hear from @mrdtjames.bsky.social, 7am host and journo, author of the Yoorrook report, and Yorta Yorta man, on the just-signed historic treaty with First Peoples, what it means to him, and all of us.

On this week's Sunday Shot, we talk to @mariecolemanao.bsky.social about the 50th anniversary of the Whitlam Dismissal, and @mrdtjames.bsky.social on Victoria's historic treaty with its Indigenous Peoples. Tune in at 9am AEDT

Here's @lucyham.bsky.social. 'Eugenics is back on the menu, boys'

To all the extremely obvious astro-turfers (thank you for your attention, it's validating 👋) in The Sunday Shot's live chat that want to see more "balance" i.e. right-wing bullshit, just watch.... I dunno, every single other show on TV? We are the balance across a decrepit landscape. You'll cope!

Excellent piece. The #Albo-tross grows more loathsome every day. Dobbing on Kevin, chortling about it - what larks, eh? Maybe if spineless Albo had held that RC into the media that HALF A MILLION Australians wanted, Murdoch's creepy minion Clennell might not have been there to shaft Rudd.

Here's Australia's current #1 bestselling novelist, @ronnisalt.bsky.social. 'Mr. Albanese goes to Washington'

Delighted to be on the excellent #SundayShot again, despite the visual metaphor of my lighting. (Off to remedy that now 😬) Climate, disinformation, Christian Nationalism. As always expertly led by @instanterudite.bsky.social & @davemilbo.bsky.social with the ACF & unmissable @ketanjoshi.co #auspol

If anyone writes with more passion or more pain than @davemilbo.bsky.social I'd like to read their stuff. This is brilliant. Heartbreaking, raw, enraging and honest. Read it and weep. Then take action.

I'll remind people again how much blood and carnage it took to stop Zionism's ideological cousin, Nazism. 40 million dead. Generations wiped off the Earth. 6 years of mass destruction. Biplanes and bolt-actions to cruise missiles and atomic bombs. "It's complicated" just tells me you're a coward

Well worth a watch and on the money as always. Why don't we get anything of this standard on MSM he asks foolishly? And the linked full interview with Chris Hedges who was recently de-platformed by the National Press Club. @theshot.net.au #auspol youtu.be/T_03YB9PrWM?...

Many, many times I've wanted to scream in public, full of anger and despair as I am. But I can't, it's the fastest way to be labelled a terrorist or antisemite when you look like me. So what I do instead is read David, and people of conscience like him in the profession, and cling on to my sanity.

Clarity...sense...humanity... Best read of the day right here 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👏👏

"People are starting to understand in Earth-shifting numbers that Palestine is about the fate of all of us." Another excellent piece from David Milner, including satisfying smack downs of militant ignorance.

Here's me. '“People aren’t buying their shit anymore”: They think they can make you forget what you’ve seen'

This makes @theshot.net.au and @davemilbo.bsky.social even more important than they already are. Real free speech based on facts, not opinions is necessary for a functioning democracy.

None of that, no. He said "that was a good interview" and we had brief chat. He said my Star Wars tattoo is "cool", that his wife is a big fan of Lucas' space opera, and that he only recently heard the Rebels were inspired by the Vietcong. He was real, smart, grounded, classy.

youtube.com/watch?v=LatG... #auspol fuck #OurABC & its infiltration by #Murdoch fuck its regurgitation of #Hasbara for #Israel as we wait for #MediaWatch to investigate David Marr's shocking performance-radio-interview for #Zionism here's a real journalist @davemilbo.bsky.social

Legendary Journalist Chris Hedges was suddenly banned from the National Press Club, this is an article about interviewing him in @davemilbo.bsky.social lounge room, and the state of #auspol: 'Chris Hedges NPC Ban Holds a Mirror to the Decay of Australian Discourse' open.substack.com/pub/joeljenk...

I interviewed Pulitzer Prize winning war correspondent Chris Hedges for an hour about the Western media betrayal of Palestinian journalists, the National Press Club of Australia, fascism and a violent empire in decline. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LatG...

ICYMI: Yesterday's Sunday Shot with @davemilbo.bsky.social @boganintel.bsky.social @grogsgamut.bsky.social and @ronnisalt.bsky.social is outstanding. Topics: #Gaza ceasefire, the NPC's cancellation of Chris Hedges, Parliamentary Sports Club, the #NACC. And more. #auspol youtu.be/lcYUot1qnNs?...
