Disturbing details of widespread sexual violence and bullying in the Australian music industry have been revealed in the Music Industry Review today. It's uncomfortable but unsurprising reading. Hoping everyone in the industry reads this in full: drive.google.com/file/d/1Qg2…

The moment my @bbcukrainian colleague @Yollika sees pictures of her family home, partially destroyed overnight in #Kyiv. We did not know until that moment it was her actual building that had been hit. Thankfully Olga’s family is safe.

Our fearless leader @frankelly08 is having her last 5am Breakfast before she hangs up the @RNBreakfast mic. The listeners will miss her terribly, but not as much as her Breakfast team… we absolutely adore her.
