Oh hi Leigh Sales. I’m sure you’ve already been pulled up about this because it’s a repeat but I can guarantee you the whole country was not “rooting“ for Cliff Young, as you said in your opening of that ep of #AustralianStory. Barracking? Yes. Rooting? Do you even know your Australian slang? 😂

I reckon Cliffy Young was one of the greatest Aussies of all time #australianstory

Geez, this is not #AustralianStory
… it is Leigh Sales doing an interview.
ABC’s Australian Story format is unique & brilliant - introduced by someone close to the subject with just the subject & those connected with the story telling the story.
No interviewer needed.
Don’t mess with the format!

When I watched Saya Sakakibara so dominant from heat 1 to final and Gold medal at the Paris Olympics I thought it was the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen. To know the mental heartbreak and family trauma beforehand on #Australianstory just makes it so amazing. What a star.

The more you hear about the Jelena Dokić story. It's amazing how she come through all of that and prospering now.

I think the story of miniature Dachshund, Valerie, is just gorgeous and hilarious. I don't even care how she survived. I'm just glad she's home. #AustralianStory

Grossly irresponsible and triggering reporting about eating disorders on #australianstory last night. Go talk to the Butterfly Foundation @abcaustralia.bsky.social and do better.

I’ve never heard of Kate Reid, Lune, or Phillippa’s bakery so the story on #AustralianStory was wonderful regardless of her fame.

oh for fucks sake. What has the death of his mother got to do with the fact his dad came from overseas? And lets not forget the #AustralianStory Bob did where he talked about his Lebanese heritage openly. Now he apparently hates talking about it? Nothing to do with the issue? #auspol #insiders

Anyone watch #AustralianStory last night about #tinyhouses? I was waiting and waiting for the stained glass window reveal. I was so relieved you’d think I’d made the bloody things myself. 🤣. Great work.

Today's #AustralianStory , showing examples of women at risk of homelessness building tiny homes was joyous. I've been a tiny home fan for years. This is how you deal the housing crisis.

'Small Wonders' was the best #AustralianStory I've seen 🤗 What an amazing project to help women get into their very own small homes 🥰
August 25, 2025 at 10:36 AM
Okay. This #AustralianStory piece is cleansing enough to forget about the guy they interviewed on #abc730

The total government compensation specifically related to detention costs varies by case, but for the Biloela family alone, the government incurred around $7 million for detaining them on Christmas Island, excluding other detention costs within Australia prior to transfer.

Watching #AustralianStory on Iview about the Bilo Family. We criticise Trump’s ICE but Australia was doing similar things four years ago. #BackToBilo

Not merely a bad government decision; it was a bad government, rotten to its very core.
#AustralianStory
#BackToBilo
#auspol
#backtobilo is another example of how powerful we the people can be when united against a bad govt decision #australianstory

I was fortunate to meet Nades recently at his & Priya’s food van in #Biloela (my partner’s hometown). #AustralianStory Ifyou go there, support them by visiting their food ban! Food is yummy!
