Summary
In this episode, Antoinette fact-checks two feel-good narratives that emerged after the Socceroos’ World Cup win over Türkiye - including claims about Australia’s youngest-ever World Cup goalscorer. Yes we know she’s a killjoy...but also right. Plus, Jan brings some inconvenient reminders to help unpack Anthony Albanese’s response to the latest US-Iran ceasefire deal. Also: the push to overhaul the Australian Press Council aka Australia’s media watchdog. Hint: it’s a toothless tiger and may or may not be running cover for the Murdoch press. And an introspective chat about online hate - are we a help or a hindrance? Feedback wanted. Support Ette Media by becoming a subscriber here. BONUS episode on Jayson Gillham v MSO here.
