If management at ABC News was smart, they would also bring back The Drum.
Imagine the insightful commentary we would have had from experts (including those with lived experience) around Gaza, violence against women, housing, cost of living etc. etc.

Forget the distractions.

We must focus on the fact that men killed 13 women during April.

If we started saying: 'A man murdered a woman' rather than 'a woman was murdered', it would be clear this is a male problem that needs to be fixed primarily by men.

Have your experiences of the aged care system improved since the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety?
MPs need to hear from people at the coal-face.

Why did conservatives support a war criminal and a rapist?

How did Bruce Lehrmann and Ben Roberts-Smith trigger a culture war?

Genuine questions.

One person who witnessed Lehrmann entering the station said they “thought he was handing himself in after being declared a rapist.'

This person had clearly not read the patriarchal songbook. Entitled men like show no remorse. Instead they play the victim.

Although Justice Lee found no evidence of a systemic cover up of a rape allegation - Bernard Keane suggests investigating a cover up was outside Justice Lee's purview.

We need more journalists like Lisa Wilkinson - with the courage to expose corrupt behaviour.

Given ACT govt has passed The Crimes Legislation Amendment Bill 2023 in which jurors who seek independent information about a trial will face criminal penalties, will there be an investigation into how juror misconduct helped to 'escape the lion's den'?

Dear Brittany,

YOU are believed.

YOU ARE believed.

YOU ARE BELIEVED.

And Australia, hang your head in shame for how you have treated this young rape victim. Never again.

In his opening remarks, Justice Lee describes case as 'Omnishambles' - A situation that has been comprehensively mismanaged, characterised by a string of blunders and miscalculations.

The courtroom then goes silent!

At the 12th hour, a formal submission that Justice Lee should take into account the possibility that may have been drugged.

Is it too late for a submission questioning the motives of the juror who caused rape trial to be aborted?

I am getting very confused about who did what to whom in sordid saga.

In the meantime, humanitarian catastrophes continue in Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo...

In contrast to Bettina Arndt - I have heard no plausible reason to explain why Brittany Higgins - who had recently commenced her dream job in Parliament House - would make a false allegation against that would jeopardise her remaining employed in her dream job.
