Qld election is “agonisingly” close at this point. Don’t rule out a LNP minority government with the KAP. Pre-poll the problem for Labor
Excellent example of misinformation.
This image is being widely circulated as one of the first images of Israeli strikes on Tehran, Iran tonight.
The image dates back to 2021, showing a fire at an oil refinery in Tehran, and is unrerlated to tonight's attack.

Newsrooms are going to have to create guidelines around new tech being incorporated into old tools. Now Photoshop has AI embedded - which completely changed the image leaving Channel 9 open to lawsuit. Newsrooms have to create new policies on what parts of tech are allowed use.
Victorian upper house MP @georgievpurcell has lashed Nine News for using an image in its bulletin that had been edited to make her breasts look bigger and expose her midriff, which the network blamed on “automation by Photoshop”. From @benitakolovos
