Well deserved! And your speech is exactly why I voted for you, at every opportunity you speak the truth, call out lies and propaganda and hold our govts, media and corporations accountable! Thanks Owen! Keep doing what you’re doing!

It was a brilliant speech and a well deserved award. I hope your courage to speak up and take on the media will be an example other journalists in this country particularly the next generation follows.

Well done for the award - I hope you are right about a reckoning for every spineless western journalist who has played their part in this appalling genocide. Keep doing what you do.

A great speech, and the award is well deserved. Congratulations Owen.

Your point about accountability as a defence against future atrocities is easily missed in the daily horror of events in Palestine but you are dead right.

The guilty want this issue to slink off into the darkness when the dust finally settles. For the sake of the next people in the firing line, we must not let it.

I stopped watching SkyNews, the day their IDF "embedded" reporter lead the lunchtime news for almost fifteen minutes, as Israel camera-readied its ground 'invasion' of Gaza in mid-October 2023.

SkyNews were almost orgasmic with anticipation; Israel having bombed and bombed and bombed and bombed for almost two weeks previously.

Israel didn't and doesn't give a dam about innocent children, and that was clear from the outset.

How many Journalists printed the Amelek speech, and explained the reference from the King James bible: here is that reference,

“Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.”

Attack the Mainstream Media by protesting outside their offices. Call out names who have lied to all people.

Well done Owen.

Hard to imagine anyone suffering career hits, let alone jail time.
