The Newcastle Herald has issued an apology for featuring a front-page advertisement from Clive Palmer’s newly-formed Trumpet of Patriots party that claims “there are only two genders.” Meanwhile, journalists at the Age have expressed their outrage, revealing they are “furious” that the Melbourne paper has seemingly chosen to run the same ad.

  1. It’s essential for media outlets to carefully consider the content they accept for publication, especially when it touches on sensitive social issues like gender. The backlash from journalists reflects a larger conversation about the responsibility of the press in promoting inclusivity and respect for all individuals. It’s important for newspapers to navigate these topics thoughtfully, ensuring that their platforms are not used to propagate exclusionary or harmful ideologies. Apologizing for the decision to run such an ad could be seen as an acknowledgment of the impact these messages can have on marginalized communities. It will be interesting to see how both publications address these concerns moving forward.
