Scott is joined by writer and journalist Rachel Withers. They begin with a quick discussion of Lamestream's latest reporting that ABC management has abandoned its proposed changes to the Indigenous TV department and will go back to the drawing board.
Rachel and Scott dive into Anthony Albanese's decision not to join countries like the UK, Canada and France in sanctioning Israel's ethnic cleansing in the West Bank. They discuss how the story was reported by Australian media, whether the sanctions will be effective, and just how isolated the Albanese government has now become in its support for Israel.
Then, they discuss the One Nation press conference that captivated the media: Warren Pickering's admission to past drug use. But how did the party leverage the moment politically? And did the media notice?
Finally, in Keeping Tabs, Rachel and Scott discuss the latest moves at a billionaire-backed institute that funds journalism, and the public servants who don't want videos of them showing up on your Instagram.
