The question followed a robbery where firearms were stolen, and Ellis’s response — blaming criminals, not law-abiding gun owners — ignited backlash. Despite apologizing for a “short delay” in moderating comments, his apology sidestepped accountability for inciting harassment. The journalist’s union warns his actions may breach the ministerial code of conduct, while critics see this as part of a broader pattern of public figures attacking the media to deflect criticism — a tactic reminiscent of former President Trump. The incident raises alarms about journalist safety and press freedom, forcing Tasmania’s Premier to confront whether such conduct will be tolerated — with serious implications for democratic accountability.
