In the span of a few weeks, there were four stabbings across the UK, three of which were perpetrated by white people, two of which were investigated by counter-terror police, and one of which was carried out by a refugee. Guess which one made front-page news. www.ettemedia.com/we-hear-abou...

As New South Welsh women we can’t possibly comment on the nature of the petition (AHEM) but as media professionals who sometimes get accused of being activists — it's all a bit confusing. IYKYK.
Last month Gina Rinehart gifted Pauline Hanson a private jet. Now the AFR has revealed that she’s the money behind a near-10 per cent stake in Southern Cross Media — which owns Seven, Triple M, LiSTNR and more. She’s already got her dollars in politics and now she’s got them in the press. Very cool!
