I've confirmed with Antoinette Lattouf that this post is what ABC News said violated their 'social media policy' & is why they fired her. Human Rights Watch is the world's most prestigious human rights organisation. This is deeply alarming censorship & intimidation by ABC management.

I grew up next to Whistlepipe Gully in Perth hills, Western Australia. Today I went to look at trees I’d walked under with my grandma when I was little, that I was looking forward to showing my baby, and they’re dead 😢 Experts are warning of “forest collapse” across southern WA

It's unbelievable how many dynamic companies broke their streaks of engineer-CEOs for the first time in the 2000s, installing their first MBA/finance CEOs, who then promptly made fundamental strategic errors that nixed the company's future, that are now becoming obvious.
