Why Jackie O’s court case with ARN has been delayed | MEDIA McKNIGHT
White House Hides Trump Falling Asleep | Jackie O Court Case Delayed Until April | Hugh Riminton Farewell The Jackie O v ARN Federal Court showdown has been sensationally pushed back to April next year. Employment lawyer Michael Byrnes from SWAAB explains why the October hearing collapsed, what the delay means for a settlement, and the privilege fight that's still going ahead on 19 and 20 October. Plus, a White House press pool ban comes back to bite. Rob shows how the official White House feed cut to a wide shot while Donald Trump was seemingly falling asleep, and why that's a warning about relying on footage controlled by the administration. And as Hugh Riminton calls time on a 48-year journalism career at Channel 10, Rob shares the Kerry Packer story that "certainly wouldn't happen today." 🎙️ Watch Hugh Riminton's full interview on McKnight Tonight: youtube.com/@mcknighttonight 📺 New episodes of Media McKnight every Tuesday at 9pm AEDT. Members get it early, usually in the afternoon. #MediaMcKnight #JackieO #ARN #KIIS #DonaldTrump #WhiteHouse #HughRiminton #Channel10 #KerryPacker #AustralianMedia #RadioRatings 📰 Media McKnight drops every Tuesday.
