By Hosted by Nour Haydar and Amanda MeadeIn the third week of the trial of former talkback radio star Alan Jones, a complainant took to the witness box to recount his time working at 2GB. Complainant C detailed allegations of indecent assault, a power dynamic, and why he felt he had to ‘cop it’. The defence has argued Jones never indecently assaulted the complainant.

Book bans, unintended consequences and mainstream media
Reality is often upsettingCensorship and challenging of library books in Western nations have risen sharply, driven by organized political campaigns targeting LGBTQIA+ themes, race, and geopolitical conflicts.
* "Bondi library removes book How to Sell a Genocide from shelves after complaint."
“..It makes some people upset is unfortunate, but reality is often upsetting. This particular reality is especially upsetting … to the parents of the over 20,000 children killed by Israel in Gaza since October 2023. Do Sydney officials plan on removing pro-Israel books from their libraries because it potentially upsets these community members?” >>
https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2026/aug/18/sydney-waverley-library-removes-book-how-to-sell-a-genocide-from-shelves-ntwnfb* Book censorship?
That is when the 'the Streisand effect' kicks in: "It is the phenomenon in which an attempt to hide, remove, or censor information results in the unintended consequence of the effort instead increasing public awareness of the information." (wikipedia)* Here is the banned book:
How to Sell a Genocide
The Media’s Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza, By Adam H. Johnson >>

It's a Genocide, the harder they try to say it isn't just makes it more obvious that it is.
