The public has voted on the next Media Watch host, and you're in for a shock

Jun 18, 2024 | smh.com.au | Antoinette Lattouf

The media microscope has been on the air for more than 30 years - an impressive three decades of demanding accountability from an industry that informs and shapes the health of our democracy. Except, of course, for that one time in 2001 when the ABC axed Media Watch and fired Paul Barry because he was journalism-ing too much and too well. The dramatic move followed Barry's interview with then-ABC chairperson Donald McDonald, in which McDonald bumbled and struggled to defend mass job cuts.

This is an uncomfortable and unexpected admission; Gina Rinehart and I share a few things. We're both embroiled in very public legal battles (even sharing a barrister) and we're both trying to figure out what to do about portraits of us that make us look fugly. Amid Rinehart's #portraitgate furore, I found myself strangely empathising with the mining magnate and drawing on her experience for guidance to manage my own conundrum.
Antoinette Lattouf: A disheartening feminist ‘silence’ over Gaza

May 14, 2024 | asiapacificreport.nz | Antoinette Lattouf

COMMENTARY: By Antoinette LattoufSorry Palestinian women and children. It seems Australia’s leading women’s media company has more pressing issues to cover than the seemingly endless human rights atrocities committed against you. It’s been seven months of almost complete silence from Mamamia and their most popular writers and podcast hosts. I’ve respected and appreciated their work in the past, which is why it’s truly disheartening to see.

Doctors discovered it while he was receiving treatment for an enlarged prostate, though it’s a “separate issue” to that, and he’s begun treatment as an outpatient.

Doctors told him not to attend public events but he will continue to work on state business and official paperwork, Buckingham Palace said.

Jewish and Palestinian groups are calling for further investigation after NSW Police announced it has “no evidence” that pro-Palestinian protesters chanted “Gas the Jews” at a Sydney Opera House protest, while the publishers of the footage have declined to concede that the videos were inaccurate. Three months ago, protesters assembled on the steps of the Sydney Opera House, which was lit up to mark Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel.

Skipper Bob Williams is bringing his cat Oli along for the adventure on his two-handed custom sloop, Sylph IV, and believes Oli is the first feline to take part in the annual race. Antoinette Lattouf spoke with Bob Williams on Mornings about his travels with Oli and found out if cats can get seasick.
US and UK nuclear waste coming here

Dec 17, 2023 | inkl.com | Antoinette Lattouf

Speaking of military intervention — Queensland’s Cairns is now an island, the ABC says, after it was cut off by floodwaters not seen in more than 100 years. Mayor Terry James called for the military to come in, saying hundreds of homes were flooded and the State Emergency Service was overwhelmed. Myola had a metre (!) of rain in 48 hours, and Black Mountain copped 935mm as the after-effects of Cyclone Jasper (now downgraded to a storm) wreaked havoc.
