response to my

report on Lydia Anseline’s death while waiting 30 mins for an ambulance. How about you call her parents & answer their questions, or ask your Minister to respond, as I requested yesterday before going to air?
We’re having a baby, in August! Posting personal news on Twitter because I’ve been inspired by many amazing female colleagues to believe you CAN have a family and chase career dreams at the same time. That’s what I plan to do & I’m going to make my little boy proud. 👶❤️✨

This is the van Australian Lucas Fowler and his American girlfriend were road tripping in before they were murdered on the side of a highway in Canada. Lucas bought it from a cattle ranch he was working on and did it up especially for their adventure.

Hi there, given the last time you tweeted me you called me a 'vase' - 'nice to look at', I don't want to interact with you, so won't be DM'ing you and please don't DM me. If you don't like my reporting, don't watch. Thanks.
@LexiDaish
Lexi for the second day in a row you’ve provided no context to the question marks around the WHO. DM me if you’d like more background, it’s something I’ve been following for years and it’s a really important part of the story, one the public needs to know
I just spoke to Harvey Weinstein’s lawyer in relation to reports he’s contracted Coronavirus in a prison upstate - “I have no knowledge of that whatsoever...I personally think it’s a rumour.”

Port Melbourne pensioner Janette has had her car trapped by construction site scaffolding behind her carport for four months. She is stuck in every sense of the word - so who’s responsible? Her story at 7pm.
JUST IN: Nancy Pelosi has revealed she’ll give VP Pence 24 hours from tomorrow morning to begin invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Donald Trump from office. If he doesn’t, House Democrats will file impeachment proceedings against him Tuesday morning (local time).

Commercial networks here hire on looks not knowledge. At least the message is nicely packaged even if it’s meaningless. Reminds me of a babe at an ad agency when I was in HK. Didn’t ad much value. We used to call her the 🏺 vase. Nice to look at.

Home time, for now. And under Trumpy’s instructions, some self-isolation. 😷
From Weinstein to Wall Street to the story no one saw coming. What a test of character New York has faced. Amazing what people can do when things get really dire.

While NY may be the epicentre in the US right now for COVID-19, Governor Cuomo makes the point that the state is doing more tests per capita than China or South Korea. 10,000 tests conducted overnight.

Today 10 years ago, I started full time at Nine - the beginning of so many adventures, thrills, chases, doorknocks, CCTV hunts, bounces, lives, laughs, tears, friends, long drives and crime scene hangs. Grateful for every single day.

Curfew has hit in LA (6pm) and still thousands of demonstrators are marching through streets. Today’s protests have been peaceful thus far - riot police trying to box crowds in.

READ: There were a lot of things about covering a global pandemic in the U.S epicentre that I couldn't put into a 6pm news story or a live cross... here's some of what happened off the TV screen over those six weeks in New York.

@9NewsAUS
Do I come to your desk in your office and tell you to “F*** off”...?
To those who make assumptions about the media, here’s a bit of a picture from our perspective. I get told to “F*** off” - or similar - while I’m doing my job weekly, at least.
The President is now essentially trying to rewrite legislation to stop Biden winning - he’s looking at challenging Pennsylvania’s laws that accept mail in votes up to 3 days after election. He is desperate.
@9NewsAUS
@TheTodayShow
The most frustrating part about De Goey's saga is the wasted opportunity. So many young footballers would do anything for the chance he was given and work their a***s off trying to get there. He's taken that for granted, and virtually thrown it all away.

"Get your c--- out!” - you see (and hear!) some incredible things on the road - if you’re interested in what it’s like covering crime in Melbourne, here’s my reflection on the last few years:

Leaving Canada without a resolution... really, really hope they find them - alive - for the victims’ families sake. There’s plenty of great people still trying. 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 @ Gillam, Manitoba
After 9 years at GTV, today I said goodbye, for now. I’m going to miss everyone - the best of friends and the best of newsrooms.
Thank you 9newsmelbourne for…
On this day 9 years ago, I started my job at Channel 9. That was the day my university degree became redundant and the real learning adventures began. Cheers…
Aside from their disgusting and criminal behaviour, these anti-lockdown protesters have also forced many already struggling businesses in Richmond doing takeaway to close early today, as they try to stay afloat. The irony. 🤯
Protesters break through the police line, an officer gets assaulted and trampled by demonstrators, people are screaming and covered in capsicum spray

@ACurrentAffair9
Carly Soderstrom caught out in our interview lying about the GoFundMe page set up to support her - she’s already dipped into it to pay back a debt. Her story advocating for small business during COVID is unravelling. 7pm.
In this moment I was boarding a plane after 6 weeks in NY covering what we thought was the peak of the pandemic. Boy, how wrong we were. And 2020 was only just getting started. Lots to be grateful for this year, but a lot to look forward to in 2021. Au revoir you beast of a year.
I’ll never forget the moment I was about to meet Carol and found out her son Jonathan Dick - one of Australia’s most wanted - had just been found alive. It was all Carol wanted. Chuffed to be nominated by
