This is the third time this year that Jacinta Price has blamed the media after a mistake. First her use of travel entitlements, then her Make Australia Great Again speech and now her comments about Indian migrants. Common thread? smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

The United States is supposed to be a leader in supporting a free press and protecting the rights of journalists to do their jobs. We stand with our @withMEAA family and condemn the shooting of journalist Lauren Tomasi.
The National Media Section of the Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance (MEAA) condemns the shooting of journalist Lauren Tomasi with a rubber bullet, while reporting on the protests in Los Angeles for 9News.

Amazing outcome for freelance journos at Nine Publishing. MEAA members will continue demanding fair pay - whether they’re inside or outside the IR system.
After a huge year of campaigning, today freelancers at Nine newspapers have won a new minimum rate for their work! For the majority of freelancers, this increase represents an 11% increase.
All Nine freelancers are invited to a crucial meeting:

BREAKING NEWS: Australian workers have won a 3.5% minimum wage increase, effective 1 July. This will directly benefit about 20% of workers paid at minimum award rates, and have positive flow on effects for all workers across the country. More info to come.
“Australia's journalist union, @withMEAA told the ABC it had been calling on the federal government to regulate AI. Chief executive Erin Madeley says generative AI is making it difficult for the public to decifer fact from fiction.”
The ABC was among hundreds of media outlets which reported on the incredible footage. Experts say the video was at least partially manipulated by artificial intelligence.

This is a stark reminder that Australia’s whistleblower protections are fundamentally broken and underscores the urgent need for reform to ensure truth-tellers are not punished for acting in the public interest.

Dutton’s attacks on the ABC and the Guardian are attacks on journalists who uphold the MEAA Code of Ethics.
Peter Dutton needs to retract his statement, apologise and commit to supporting press freedom and the independence of the ABC.
