Well, ABC Australia has actually gone ahead and turned off open access to iView, during an election campaign. Now you can't watch without your viewing data being shared with commercial partners. Is there any political candidate who has anything to say about this? #Auspol

And remember that last time I checked, there was no opt-out. (Delighted to be proven wrong if this has now been corrected - let me know ABC Australia).

And an update on that opt-out: I rechecked today and the opt out is still non-functional. Here are my account settings - opted out of everything I can opt out of

And here's my detailed viewing data, still being sent to Tealium with my hashed email address. Google & Chartbeat still get the viewing data too. Office of the Australian Information Commissioner - Anything to say about continuing to share detailed identifiable data even after people have explicitly opted out? #Auspol

Today I removed myself from a vote on a Bill which could have had a financial impact on me due to my time working for the ABC living overseas. #auspol

Today we released new enrolment figures that show the highest ever level of estimated enrolment for Indigenous Australians of 81.7%! It's a great move in the right direction, however there is still a lot of work to do to close the gap aec.gov.au/media/2022/09-…
