I accidentally voted in an #ABCNewsAU poll as my scrolling thumb landed.

Laura Tingle asks:
"Why does Israel keep killing journalists?
... The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) reported in February that Israel was responsible for two-thirds of all press killings in both 2025 and 2024, two consecutive record years for press deaths.
More journalists and media workers were killed in 2025 than in any other year since the CPJ began collecting data more than three decades ago."

A Melbourne butcher’s fears are headline news this morning. #ABCNewsAU

It’s not just about #ABCNewsAU asking the questions - they need to be decent questions.

That bizarre thermometer graphic used *again* tonight on ABC News #Canberra! Check the number scales, markers both left (C) and right (F). Isn't anyone at the ABC watching? No AI from the national broadcaster please! #ABCNewsAU

#ABCNewsAU #SouthAustralia did it fine.

Absolutely bizarre thermometer graphic used on #ABCTV news tonight. Check the number scales both left (C) and right (F) in the #Canberra edition. No AI please! #ABCNewsAU

#ABCNewsAU need for fact check! (Report by AFP)
“The California-based company has built five fusion reactors …”
Apart from research, no-one has built a fusion reactor.

"One of nature's most magnificent shows, the southern lights, could be on display for large parts of southern Australia tonight as far north as Perth and Sydney, with a severe solar storm having an impact on Earth."

Quarter of Sydney’s drinking water for data centres? Or use sewage? (ironic not ironic)
Much awry with this #ABCNewsAU article.
Assumes Australia should go all-in on data centres and AI. Conflates all this with a climate modelling supercomputer. We need rigorous thinking and analysis at ABC. Looks like this might be on #ABC730 tonight.

Hey, #abcnewsau
It is not a ‘Hunger Crisis’
It is the deliberate and calculated starvation of civilians. It is a war crime.
It is a moral failing that news agencies and governments are downplaying the atrocities Israel is committing.

The #ABCNewsAU article on cars made/assembled in Australia omits to mention #MGB. My B I had for 12 years was put together in 1970. There is a project covering these cars (including my old one): https://mgbsmadeinaustralia.org

Probably better to ban cars from school grounds. Sorry, where was the car? #ABCNewsAU

#ABCNewsAU reproducing AP/AFP quoting Musk saying US could go “bankrupt”. This is not possible, but no contradiction from ABC.

@Power @jhaue What a poor article. Much assertion, generalisation, almost no numbers and definitely no footnotes! And NO ANALYSIS. It looks to me like #ABCNewsAU was fed material by AIG’s Tennant Reed (he of the nice photo) and ABC then sought “balance” from ACF (and not CSIRO, ANSTO, AEMO). #ausecon #auspol
-
#ABCNewsAU today reporting more than one thing “back on track”. Absorbing the slogan. Aaaargh!
-
Unfortunately in tonight’s #ABCNewsAU of Remembrance Day in #Melbourne the flag featured is one used by Cookers. I expect this was unintentional by ABC but it’s very poor. (See the numbers of points on the stars.) (Screenshot from the #Canberra bulletin.)
-
Come on #ABCNewsAU! “Andrew Leigh, the shadow Assistant Minister for Competition, says this country's small-scale farmers are getting hammered …” Leigh is a government minister, not a shadow.
-
It’s hard to shake a first narrative (Greens “failure”). But as in previous post the story is more in the votes than the (fifth) seats. (Greens now looking likely to win 4 seats.)
-
What!
#ABCNewsau spends around 3/4 of this article trying to humanise the appalling racist Peter Dutton.
It goes in to falsely equate bruises and lacerations with a traumatic amputation.
Aunty is showing her bias and doing a disservice to Australians.
-
“The Coalition has committed to allowing withdrawals of $50,000 from super” by first home buyers.
This is in #ABCNewsAU this morning reporting on a Q+A poll. It’s accompanied by zero analysis. (Saving it for Alan Kohler tomorrow on #QAndA I guess, which prioritises eyeballs?)
So, first home buyers will have $50,000 more to spend on a house, further pushing up house prices.
