“I simply didn’t want the book to end given the sheer delight of the story-telling. Pheasants Nest is a stunning debut.” I grew up reading book reviews in @theage, so seeing this amazing first newspaper review of my novel tonight makes me weep with joy.❤️
When an investigative journalist turns to crime, it’s a ‘sheer delight’

Christian Porter has discontinued his case. The ABC will pay him no damages. I stand by my journalism & proud to work @4corners & grateful to the ABC & our brilliant legal team for supporting public interest journalism. Thanks, everyone, for your support.

Yet again, high profile men go after woman who, after surviving appalling trauma, goes on to become Australian of the Year, works tirelessly to educate the community about said crime, but has the temerity not to conform to the men’s expectation of how such a woman should behave.

I am overwhelmed by the decency of so many of you. I can’t possibly keep up with all the messages on all the platforms, but please know I see each one and I am so buoyed and grateful and inspired by the overwhelming evidence that kindness and commitment to the truth prevails.

“Why don’t other women come forward?” Take a look at what is being done to a woman who lies in her grave.

I’ve been inundated w messages offering to raise legal fees. Thanks so kindly but I’m indemnified by my employer. All I hope is you watch & read my journalism & all women journalists’ work on problems for complainants of sex crimes & harassment in courts, in politics, everywhere.

Today I observed Melb #WomensMarch4Justice - a sea of people who want better for every woman & girl. Then came home to my little girl, who unprompted said at school they were asked to nominate a woman they admired, who stood up for other women. My little lady chose her Mum. ❤️

To the 2021 old boy of Redfield College from a prominent family who threatened my safety on social media ahead of our investigation into his alma ahead of tonight’s 4 Corners, police are investigating. You cannot threaten women. Enough. I trust the school will assist @nswpolice.

I am proud, I am moved, that I am a parent of a son who is autistic. Every single day he teaches me so much. He makes my heart full.

The other thing I can’t shake about this whole secret government business is it was Christian Porter who advised Morrison it was legal. The same man who refused to inform parliament who paid him huge sums of money for his legal fund to sue a public broadcaster (& me).

Never had a dog - didn’t grow up with them. But my husband & kids risked surprising me with this little guy today. We pick him up next month so my son named him August, Augie for short. I picked him up, he snuggled into me & I just burst into tears. Welcome to the family, Augie.

No-one commissions snarky profiles of male investigative journalists. No-one cites “activism” when men relentlessly, admirably pursue stories on war/casinos/finance. No-one explores their irrelevant childhood/calls their old school. Male investigative reporters aren’t the story.

Rosie Batty to @TamePunk 31/1 ‘I dearly hope you won’t have to deal with the kind of abuse I had, but I fear you will. At first, everyone is delighted for you but as your messages gain impact.., the backlash grows & directs back towards you with ugliness you can never anticipate’
