  1. 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."

  9. ”Telstra warns older iPhones may be unable to connect to Triple Zero”

    abc.net.au/news/2026-01-28/tel

    ”In an update issued at 6pm AEDT on Wednesday, Telstra said Apple has paused several software updates released this week while the problem is investigated.

    The paused updates include iOS 18.7.4, iOS 16.7.13, iOS 15.8.6 and iOS 12.5.8, which apply to a range of older iPhone models.”

  10. Wage growth slightly outpaces consumer price inflation in the year to September, which means the average worker has received a small increase in their purchasing power, a point highlighted by the Treasurer Jim Chalmers. However, the increase was down on the same period last year and an economist says workers can expect real wages to fall again next year. Wage rises were stronger for workers in the public sector, led by pay rises for employees of state and local governments. The data alleviates any pressure on the Reserve Bank to lower interest rates. William Buck chief economist Besa Deda thinks there's a possibility of one more cut in the second half of 2026.

    The ABS published a second set of monthly numbers, estimating the total wages and salaries paid by employers to their staff in September. Payments totalled $108.8 billion, driven higher by bonuses in the mining, utilities, retail, media and financial services sectors, which are often paid in September, in response to financial year targets. However, the 5.3 per cent annual growth in total wages and salaries paid to employees was down from the 6.1 per cent rise recorded over the year to September 2024.

  11. "It mapped up to a one-in-2,000 annual chance flood event,"

    Huzzah! #ABCNewsAustralia is actually using the chance *per year* as the nomenclature, rather than saying "1 in x year" as the metric. An important distinction so people can visualise the actual risk to them because it's likely to happen in their lifetime.

  17. David Speers on #ABCNewsAustralia this evening continuing the mythology around a ‘balanced’ budget.

    Australia and Australians suffer whenever the federal government prioritises a budget surplus over services and infrastructure needed to maintain a strong and healthy country and population.

  22. CW: The Biggest Loser: ABCNews’ Ian Verrender’s take on the USA sacrificing the economy to pay homage to its cult leader

    ‘… global investors haven't confined their selling to stocks. They're moving their cash out of America.

    ‘For decades, US government debt has been considered the benchmark for financial security. In times of trouble, investors, institutions and even nations have scrambled for the safe haven that is the world's biggest economy.

    ‘That crown has begun to slip and with it, the notion of a US dollar as the world's reserve currency.

    ‘…Trump has damaged his country's standing and its reputation.

    ‘When it comes to business, as in life, trust and confidence are paramount.

    ‘Without trust, you suddenly find yourself swimming alone. Just ask Elon.’

  23. #ABCNewsAustralia Spreading the myth that Australia’s national budget is like a household’s budget.

    The Australian government prints its own (fiat) currency. It can’t run out of money, like a household.

  24. ABC News is probably the only news organisation in Australia that can and does dedicate resources to doing this kind of regional reporting (which is why its continued funding is so important), but they really need to cut back on adding strong vignettes to photos in articles about natural disasters to try to make them more “dramatic”. Particularly the photos in the second half of this article are a bit much…

  25. The latest update to this…

    If your device feels like it’s on fire when browsing the ABC News website in Australia and you use a content blocker with Safari where you can specify custom CSS selectors for elements to hide, the following selector should help a lot:

    div[class*="ActivityFeedItem_underline__"], span[class*="Label_underline__"]

    (even though the ABC site uses CSS animations, they have JS that also constantly calls requestAnimationFrame 🔥)

  26. A great piece of analysis from @ABC about company reputations - how to trash them e.g. PwC, Qantas, Colesworth - how to restore them e.g. big 4 banks and that ESG (environmental, social, and governance) done right should be table stakes for corporates today.

    Well-written, informative and entertaining analysis. Kudos to Daniel Ziffer.
