Lovely guy, great journo, excellent colleague. RIP Matt.
As #Insiders brings up 20 years this Sunday I’ll be thinking of this bloke Matt Price the one we lost along the way. He represented the next generation in journalism. The ideal panellist (and friend).

I think we are all in furious agreement with this one.
Police Association’s Wayne Gatt says the best people to deal with mental health crisis’ aren’t police. Welcomes recommendation from Mental Health Royal Commission for Paramedics and Clinicians to be first responders. @10NewsFirstMelb #springst

A year ago Crown’s board bought full page ads attacking our @theage @60Mins investigation, Packer issued legal threat, directors like Andrew Demetriou, John Alexander undermined us. Today Crown found unsuitable to hold licence, linked to money laundering etc. Journalism matters.

Congratulations to @markwillacy and @4corners for winning this year’s Gold Walkley along with all the finalists and winners.
2/2.@MarkWillacy's work was outstanding, and it came after a series of investigations in previous years that together prompted the Brereeton inquiry into war crimes. This has been one of the most significant stories of the year – congratulations Mark and the ABC team. #walkleys

Incredible journalism by Nick McKenzie, Chris Masters and team. It takes courage to speak up and Dusty Miller has done just that.
Today’s war crimes report release is hugely significant. It’s not generals, pollies or journos that drove it. It was good soldiers. This is my good mate SAS medic Dusty Miller. Bravely served in Afghan, then bravely spoke up, like many others from SAS. Likely saved the regiment.

At last some common sense....
Obviously good news today that I and @sclark_melbs are not going to be charged over our reporting on alleged war crimes in Afghanistan. But this story is not over. My colleagues @markwillacy @alexblucher and @rory_callinan have done incredible work on this as well.

We will be writing to the coroner at the conclusion of the RCMPI to request that the court examine the significant new evidence and re-open the hodsons murder case. Justice has not be done. #VicPolWatch @AnthonyDowsley @theheraldsun @TammyMills1 @abcmelbourne
Our @JeremyKingRG : “This significant evidence should be investigated by the coroner, including covert recordings and the evidence of Gobbo herself...The new evidence would almost undoubtedly change the coroner’s previous findings.’’ #vicpolwatch heraldsun.com.au/truecrimeau…

For any parents confused over the inconsistency between the National Cabinet (keep schools open) and Victorian Premier (closing schools Tuesday). States and territories make the decisions on their schools. The decision on Victorian schools lies with the Victorian Government.
