I decided to post it here because the ABC has made some editorial decisions that I think deserve discussion.

Ah, I getcha, but why not make that the title and post body them?

Felt that my comment under the post was sufficient and I don’t like changing article titles.

People can read it and come to their own conclusions and then if they want they can engage in the comments.

ABC refuse to name Hadi Alodid in this article, and refuse to call the attack what it was, attempted murder.

This is an interesting walking back of facts from the ABC given their previous reporting on the incident.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06-10/belfast-attack-suspect-appears-in-court-as-victim-loses-eye/106783542

Neither article mentions that Hadi Alodid attempted to behead Stephen Ogilvie.
