The Australian’s Media Writer Sophie Elsworth has slammed the ABC communications department as “hypocrites” who have “set trolls” onto her for her reporting.
This comes after the ABC communications boss released a media statement shaming a cadet journalist who wrote a story “republishing” abusive comments made towards ABC’s Lisa Millar. “They have put out statements about my reporting, tagged me on Twitter and I’ve been trolled, so they’re hypocrites,” Ms Elsworth told Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton.
“I think the ABC communications department, who are not the editors at Australian media, should not decide what can and cannot be published. “But they should take their own advice and not set trolls onto journalists, for instance, myself, by tagging them when they put out their tweets from their communications account.”

Mr Joyce said Snowy Hydro 2.0 will now end up costing “$20 billion” after he was told it would cost just $2- 4 billion. “There’s only person who’s going to pay for that, and that is…you,” he told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “$20 thousand million could have refurbished every coal fired power station in Australia to high intensity low emission…coal-fired power stations, belting massive supplies of power onto our grid – forcing down the price of power.”

Australians ‘didn’t even blink’ at the idea of nuclear subs: Barnaby JoyceThe Australian people did an “incredible job” to “get onboard” with nuclear submarines for the country as they “didn’t even blink” at the idea, says Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce.
