Why does one Australian government funded body (the ) source its media from a privately-held foreign corporation () when Twitter just gets it from another Australian government-funded body (the )? Surely they could skip the problematic middleman and organise things directly?

“The Oz made a spectacular error in July, publishing a highly salacious and unsubstantiated gossip item complete with photographs and graphics about the British royal family. The item was so defamatory the Guardian cannot repeat it.

[…]

“The article discussed in graphic detail the alleged sex life of a royal, based on a single ‘blind’ item of gossip from a notorious Instagram account that did not name the subject.

“The Oz published a jokey TikTok video of the Queen ‘reacting’ to the sexual gossip and the story was live for about three hours.”

LMAO RIP
