The ABC need to look at what true balance looks like - expertise, with views grounded in facts and analysis, not bad faith actors who are rusted onto their ideology, or politicians constrained by the party room #thesundayshot

Absolutely. The Sunday shot is the standard that ABC should be reaching.. anything else is not good enough Well done @davemilbo.bsky.social @deniseshrivell.bsky.social and the rest of the shot team

I note with extreme interest, the ABC has spent millions settling cases in the past few years with white men that they clearly have not wanted to enter into an open court battle with. The ABC however, is happy to aggressively witch-hunt a Lebanese woman to the ends of the earth. Why? #LatouffvABC

#Optics is fabulous. @charlesfirth.bsky.social

Recommend! I’m already up to episode 4

Im biased, but i really enjoyed the first episode of Optics, @charlesfirth.bsky.social new show on the ABC, about a crisis management PR firm and a series of terrible people in need of image makeovers. Laughed a lot. 🤙

Today is the day! Optics, a satirical comedy about the grubby world of crisis PR, premieres tonight on ABC-TV and iView at 8:30pm. Tune in!

My brilliant and very funny husband @charlesfirth.bsky.social has a TV comedy show called Optics launching on ABC Wednesday night at 8:30pm. It’s all about crisis management PR and inter-generational corporate war! And if you like it you can binge the whole series on iview.

The amazing thing about Peter Dutton's claim here is that while he make it sound like a difficult task, this would actually be a slower roll-out than what was likely achieved in Australia 2024. A quick thread with numbers:
