Given the strong and appropriate scrutiny of the ABC over its recent review of the Luna Park doco, it makes sense to provide similar scrutiny of this damming Press Council finding against The Australian over its coverage of gender affirming healthcare. 1/

Simon Birmingham wasn’t even Finance Minister when JobKeeper was introduced, yet he’s facing Nine’s investigation into JobKeeper waste.

Andrew Leigh@ALeighMP
When you watch the JobKeeper expose on @60Mins this Sunday, remember that there's a reason Scott Morrison & Josh Frydenberg didn't face the cameras, choosing instead to let Simon Birmingham take the fall.
It's indefensible. And they know it.
