David Speers & Jane Norman babbling flimsy takes on the LA protests & Trump one day; Sarah Ferguson spotlighting a TikTok trend where people "run into each other as hard as they can" the next, sidelining Australia's bigger issues. Go on, ABC, axe #abc730 with #QandA too. #auspol

Each week, #QandA claimed to put Australians "at the centre of debate" & each week, hosts like Grant & Karvelas dictated the discourse, decided who spoke, ran Liberal PR & blatantly undermined Labor MPs. The ABC didn't just fail a show—it failed its own democratic mission #auspol

For someone so desperate to prove her "reputation", Linda Reynolds seems remarkably content degrading herself in public. The former Liberal Senator now "bitterly disappointed" as the NACC clears Brittany Higgins' payout. Like Scott Morrison, Linda is never not the victim #auspol

To "unpack" the Middle East conflict, #AfternoonBriefing had Karvelas interview a former Israeli Justice Minister, then ex-ambassador to Israel, Liberal Senator Dave Sharma, twisting madly to defend Netanyahu's attack in Iran as "acting in national interest". Peak ABC. #auspol

"We specifically call on Iran to exercise restraint to avoid any broader conflict. "Its nuclear program is a threat to international peace & security." Marles, "deeply concerned" re: Middle East. Never mind Israel initiating the strike or Netanyahu denying peace in Gaza #auspol

It is deeply disappointing to see Penny Wong—after endless barbarity in Gaza & now strikes on Iran—cling to stale, hollow "concerns". A "perilous time in the Middle East", she tells Speers, yet her staunch deference endures: "Israel has a right to self-defence." #insiders #auspol

After a segment on "terrified" Tel Aviv residents, #abc730 turns to a former US ambassador to Israel for insight on the Middle East. Speers asks: "How close was Iran to developing a nuclear weapon?" The answer: "Too close for comfort." No mistaking where the ABC stands. #auspol

"Warnings Australia signed up to a dud deal." "An expensive illusion." "In this more uncertain Trump-dominated world, will we be left stranded & out of pocket?" A taster of the $368b AUKUS nuclear submarine program. What a farce Scott Morrison locked us into. #4Corners #auspol

A faltering Marles, as Speers queries the US joining the Middle East conflict, delivers his well-rehearsed, anaemic line: "We understand Israel's right to defend itself & the threat the Iranian nuclear program poses to peace & stability." Iran's rights? Ignored. #abc730 #auspol

Straight from Speers' School of #Insiders, Jane Norman gifts the ABC's most cutting-edge "analysis" yet: Albanese got "stood up" by Trump. Now also a psychic, she confirms the US President's tweet hit Albo "with a thud". National affairs reporter? Try national disgrace. #auspol

Invoking the UN Charter, Iran's Ambassador to Australia explains: "When a player attacks a member, the nation has a right to self-defence. Iran used its inalienable right." A crucial articulation of international law—swiftly cut off by Speers #abc730 #IranIsraelConflict #auspol

"Isn't Israel right to be alarmed?" "But does Israel have a right to exist?" "But I'm just wondering—do you think Israel has a right to exist?" "But can you understand Israel being concerned?" Can the ABC advise Speers that snide, inept hectoring isn't journalism #abc730 #auspol

With breathtaking hypocrisy, Israel's Deputy FM tells #abc730 of "facing devastation... annihilation... wanting to protect children from a nuclear holocaust"—ignoring these very horrors inflicted on Gaza. Pressed by David Speers for evidence on Iran's weapons, she evades. #auspol

"There is no starvation in Gaza." — Israel Deputy FM on the ABC. Chilling denial amid mass Palestinian destruction. Credit to David Speers for pressing, citing "15,000 children killed", a war "dragging on 20 months" & exposing her lies on Iran #IsraelIranConflict #abc730 #auspol

Somehow, after Dutton's relentless fearmongering, dog-whistling & brazen Islamophobia — plus her own bigotry — Sussan Ley is still confused how the Liberals alienated migrants. It proves what Australians already know: the LNP isn't just out of touch. It refuses to listen #auspol

The truth, no matter how intricately veiled or constructed, always surfaces. The US Ambassador's Freudian slip—"Israel spreading terror"—proves just that. America's narratives on Iran & Gaza are unravelling. Still the ally Australia trusts so blindly? #IsraelIranConflict #auspol

In an already deranged world, Australia's greatest political failure, Scott Morrison, waddling in to opine on the US bombing Iran's nuclear sites, spewing "Trump had no other option", is repugnant. That the ABC platformed this discredited dimwit is pathetic #auspol #israeliranwar

Not sure what's worse: disgraced Mike Pezzullo invited on the ABC to pontificate on America's Middle East strikes, invoking Iran's "track record" via a 1994 incident — or Speers nodding along intently, treating his words as gospel, silent on his misconduct sacking #abc730 #auspol

On #insiders, Andrew Hastie couldn't tell Speers if Israel is breaking international law: "Not an international lawyer." Invited again on #afternoonbriefing, as Karvelas probed America "adhering to the rules", he expertly endorsed Trump striking Iran. Woeful—him & the ABC #auspol

One disgraced dropkick after another. First Trump lackey Scott Morrison; then sacked Mike Pezzullo—paraded by the ABC to advise on America's strike on Iran, like they're statesmen, not national burdens. An insult to Australians & journalism alike #IsraelIranWar #abc730 #auspol
