The Minns government wants the public to trust police judgment following the Herzog protests. In court & afterwards, I met people still living with the consequences of Feb 9.
Thanks for having me on @crikey_news & @theshufflediary, to talk about this incredibly important story.
An inquiry into the force used by NSW Police during a Sydney protest against Isaac Herzog’s visit earlier this year is underway. As Tina Quinn told Cut Through, some demonstrators still live with the memories of that night.
The latest episode of the Cut Through podcast is live on all platforms now. #cutthroughpodcast
Protesters are still answering charges over Sydney’s anti-Herzog rally. Who will answer for the force used against them?
My latest for @crikey_news, on the people behind the footage and their fight for answers.

He retweeted a Sydney Morning Herald story more recently than Candace Owens, but why let that get in the way of a good yarn?
The Australian, ABC, The Saturday Paper, The Guardian -- all posted in recent years.

Reminder: it was on @2GB873 that Alan Jones urged people to go to Cronulla and bash people.
It was on @2GB873 that Alan Jones called for Julia Gillard to be put in a chaff bag and thrown into the sea.
You do NOT get to moralise over this.
It's one thing to tell the nation to turn the temperature down, but Michael McLaren unpacks why it's rising in the first place.

Christiane Amanpour announced that she’s leaving CNN after 43 years.
I had the privilege of doing a few interviews with her. Many of the journalists I dealt with over the years only knew as much about the topic we were discussing as a producer loaded into the prompter or placed in some interview notes. That was not the case with Christiane. She didn’t need notes because she was as well versed on the topics we discussed as I was. I always felt at the end of an interview with her that viewers got something of real substance out of it.
As impressed as I was by her depth of knowledge and interviewing skills, I was also tremendously impressed by how kind and gracious she was. With most of the interviews I did, my interaction with the interviewer was maybe a quick hello in the five or ten seconds before we went live. When I did a face-to-face interview with Christiane at the CNN studio in New York, she came back to the green room where I was waiting and sat down to chat. And the chat wasn’t just about the topic we’d be discussing on-air, it was more personal. That made a lasting impression on me.
I worry a lot about the state of the media today and the important role it plays (or should be playing) in a healthy democracy. My worry is even greater when someone as talented as @amanpour chooses to step away from the mic.

Christiane has been one of the great forces in international broadcasting: magnificent, honourable, principled, charming. Whatever will we do without her?

"It’s a giant loss. CNN’s brand has largely been built on our international presence, thanks to people like Amanpour," a CNN on-air personality tells me. "It’s what sets us apart. This brain drain will be hugely detrimental. And yes, everyone believes it’s merger related. And that it won’t be the last defection."

Some memories stay with you for a lifetime.
As a little boy growing up in Yemen, learning English, I would sit beside my late father as he turned on CNN to watch Christiane Amanpour reporting from war zones and some of the most dangerous corners of the world. I was mesmerized by her courage, her questions, and the extraordinary people and places she brought into our living room.
Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that one day she would be reporting on my own country, Yemen, and that the little boy watching her in awe would grow up to be interviewed by her.
But what makes that memory truly precious is that my father lived to see it. The man who introduced me to Amanpour, who once sat beside me as I struggled to understand her English, got to watch his own son speaking to her. I can only imagine what went through his heart in that moment. But I knew how proud he was. And knowing that he got to witness that full-circle moment is something I will cherish for the rest of my life.
Christiane, you are more than an icon of journalism. You helped shape how an entire generation saw and understood the world. You inspired curiosity, courage, and compassion in countless people, including a little boy in Yemen who never imagined his own voice would one day reach you.
As you close this remarkable chapter at CNN and embark on whatever comes next, I wish you every success and happiness. You leave behind an extraordinary legacy, not just in journalism, but in the lives of people you may never even know you touched.
Mine is one of them. And because of you, I have a beautiful memory of my father that I will carry forever.
Thank you, Christiane, and all the very best on your next adventure.

Some key phrases in Christiane Amanpour's announcement today that she's leaving CNN.
“I’ve decided to separate from CNN”
“I’ve always been fiercely independent”
“unprecedented pressures from all sides, political, financial...”
Tina Quinn retweeted
“Remember: always be truthful, not neutral.”

.@amanpour is a legend in broadcast journalism. Fearless. Incisive. aa master storyteller and interviewer.
She has shone a light on wars and held the powerful to account. What a great legacy!
Tina Quinn retweeted
To say this marks the end of an era doesn’t even cut it.
@amanpour has been synonymous with CNN & with top-tier international reporting for decades. I grew up admiring her, pinched myself every time I got to share a screen with her & have been grateful on so many occasions for the platform her show offered for in-depth, international coverage.
Will miss her dearly at CNN. But bravo on 43 extraordinary years. We should all be so lucky

Joined @theshufflediary and @antonknilsson on @crikey_news’s Cut Through to talk Labor’s political headaches, the new Greens leader, Josh Frydenberg’s never-ending comeback and the cosy practice of political “drops” that lets politicians off the hook.
