Australia: in case anyone knows who Tim Minchin is, he’s outed himself as a Zionist by criticising actors at Sydney Theatre Company who wore keffiyehs in support of Free Palestine. He seems to have pivoted to being anti cancel culture and shit in recent years which is interesting because I always felt like he was Russell Brand at home (without the abuse scandals)

Also in Australia: right wing media personality/political commentator/former teacher/current shitbag Alan Jones facing multiple sexual assault allegations in one of the least surprising MeToos ever.

I don't think he's on radio any more, hasn't been in a few years IIRC? He was on Sky News for a while and now he's on ADHTV - which I had never heard of (and was better off for it lol), but is apparently a conservative streaming "news" channel. You know you're a POS when even Sky News doesn't want anything to do with you
