Only someone of Stan’s calibre would be so kind, eloquent and generous in such a time of distress. Could we please use this moment to start to speak out against hate speech and abuse, and the dire lack of diversity in Australian media?

I'm standing with Wiradjuri, Dharawal and Gurrawin man Stan Grant in support of his journalism and in bringing the irrefutable facts about our bloody colonial history to the forefront of the coronation coverage. I reject racism in Australia and at the ABC. #istandwithstan

Disturbing details of widespread sexual violence and bullying in the Australian music industry have been revealed in the Music Industry Review today. It's uncomfortable but unsurprising reading. Hoping everyone in the industry reads this in full: drive.google.com/file/d/1Qg2…

The moment my @bbcukrainian colleague @Yollika sees pictures of her family home, partially destroyed overnight in #Kyiv. We did not know until that moment it was her actual building that had been hit. Thankfully Olga’s family is safe.
