The 'Russian Resistance' trying to stop Putin's war in #Ukraine. TV story airs tonight abc.net.au/news/2022-04-28/t…
This is an outstanding story! (But I’m the reporter, so I would say that, wouldn’t I)
Half of the world’s coral reefs have been lost due to climate change. But in Palau, many reefs have recovered from heatwaves. 101 East visits Palau, which is now at the forefront of global research into climate-resilient coral. aje.news/coral

Next up, how Greece could surrender its sovereignty, resources, language, culture and children to Turkiye so Ankara has a ‘sensible security pact’.
How Charlie became a Russian propaganda hero Pundits, spokespeople, and even Putin’s so-called ‘personal confessor’ warn of U.S. civil war, cannibals, and more in the wake of Kirk’s murder mdza.io/b/TgkNSXATBA via @meduza_en
In my experience, much of ABC management lives in inexplicable terror of two things ... Israel lobbyists and News Corp. Hopefully, the money it has to pay @antoinettelattouf for the most ridiculous sacking in Australian media history will make a teensy, if temporary, difference
This was a shameful episode in the ABC’s history. The readiness of management to succumb to lobby groups was never more blatant. That it was over the use of starvation as a tool of war casts a dark stain over the public broadcaster that it is yet to erase. abc.net.au/news/2025-06-25/a…

So we went on a routine flight and were almost killed by a PLA helicopter. My latest story for Al Jazeera. #southchinasea

A sad and beautiful film on the ABC Sunday night about what it’s like to be an Australian Jew opposing Israel’s campaign in Gaza. Spoiler: he’s called a self-hater and traitor. Directed by my amazing partner Brietta Hague. It’s a rare look at Jews challenging the Israel lobby
#CivilWarMovie must be the most inaccurate portrayal of war correspondents in cinema history. Has Alex Garland ever met one? ‘That gunfire is making me hard!’ FFS
‘We don’t ask questions’ about tortured hostages. WTF?
A speech for the ages. Has Putin made his biggest mistake? #Navalny

So it seems they’ve finally murdered him. I followed Alexey Navalny around Russia in 2017. Funny, charming, principled, insanely brave. And how the Kremlin feared him. Navalny’s very existence was a daily reminder of what an amoral little man Vladimir Putin is and will always be.
Twenty years ago today I was injured in a suicide bombing that killed cameraman Paul Moran. He was the first media casualty of the Iraq war. Paul was one of the finest cameramen I worked with, a loving husband to Ivana and loving father to his baby daughter Tara. 1/
