Big Small Talk · Why Does Australian Media Still Have The Same Problems? With Antoinette Lattouf · 3 Jun 2026 podcast

I did that for seven years while still working as a journalist.

And then I left that in 2022.

The not-for-profit is still going.

And then after October 2023...

And the way that story has been covered and the way journalists who are either Arab or Muslim or even journalists who call out the industry to be fairer and more ethical about the way we report on the unfolding genocide in Gaza, the way we've been treated and the way Arabs continue to be dehumanised and disregarded has made me think, well, I'm an idiot.

All those years I thought that we were making progress.

Here we are back again to the early 2000s level of racism and division.

Well, it was really bad back then, but it's, I fear, worse now.

I think it's worse now because we think we had gotten past things.

We thought we were better.

We thought we had learnt lessons.

Whether the lessons are about the impact of ignoring blatant

breaches of international law and human rights atrocities, what that does to safety and security.

You can't bomb your way into safety and security because there's a lot of evidence that shows that the treatment of Iraqis and the desecration of the Iraqi state led to the birth of ISIS and al-Qaeda and extremist organisations.

And also when you demonise and dehumanise huge sections of the Australian community, that's not good for

Australia's democracy.

When you impinge on civil liberties like the freedom to protest or the freedom to say certain words, that doesn't make anybody safer.

From a media perspective, I don't think we've gotten better, sadly.

It's just, and perhaps that's why I fought so hard in the courts because I wanted it to be public knowledge about the institutional failures in this moment in time.

I wanted it to be aired.
