## Resource

Jan Fran and Antoinette expose the false narrative that the multicultural Sydney suburb of Lakemba is a hotbed of systemic NDIS fraud. We trace where this racist narrative kicked off, which media outlets fueled it and how the main figure is off by approximately 8000%.  Also, why free-to-air TV networks and certain newspapers are not happy with Albanese's gambling ad reforms. And Jan and Antoinette agree that Donald Trump’s latest social post is extremely unhinged but disagree on how the media should cover it.  Plus: Jay Rosen's Trump reporting toolkit that could save journalism, and why Uncommon Ground podcast proves listening to people you trust (and like) matters. LinkedIn article by demographer Brian Cooper de-bunking NDIS fraud is here.  Support Ette Media by becoming a subscriber here.
