Been great to work with the ABC’s John Lyons and producer Mayeta Clark on this no-holds-barred examination of #Israel ’s assault on #Gaza . We’ll be airing incredible footage and have a powerful cast list, incl an ex-PM, two former heads of Shin Bet and an ex-Foreign Minister

The past eight weeks in Israel and Gaza have been the deadliest period for journalists since Committee to Protect Journalists began gathering data 30 years ago. The vast majority of the 64 total killed were Palestinian and in Gaza bravely reporting in impossible conditions.

Very exciting to receive a copy of Penguin Random House 🐧🏠📚’s Stories that Want to be Told anthology ft Wing Kuan Yap’s amazing piece on who’s ignored by consent education reform in Australia. Was an honour to be a mentor for this project!

NEW: Israel has blocked an unknown number of people leaving Gaza who Australia requested be put on the Rafah Crossing list.

Australian officials unclear on why.

Today, I officially resigned from the OpenAI board.

Thank you to the many friends, colleagues, and supporters who have said publicly & privately that they know our decisions have always been driven by our commitment to OpenAI’s mission.
