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? 😂

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.

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

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 🥰

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.
