Current and former Channel Seven staff describe a 'degrading, soul crushing' workplace that's left some suicidal and unable to work

It bills itself as a family network, but an investigation into Channel Seven has revealed it to be a "second chance club" for senior men, with allegations of bullying, sexism, assault and exploitation that have left staff hospitalised, unable to work and attempting suicide.

In one case, a young female journalist became so distressed at her treatment, she ran in front of a car outside a Seven office.

The Four Corners team has spoken to more than 200 people for this story, including current staff who have spoken out because they believe there is a desperate need for change at both Seven and in the broader commercial television industry.

Legal complaints currently lodged with the network allege sexual discrimination, breaches of workplace laws and disability discrimination. There are three with the Sydney news division alone.

"They're trying to present an illusion of being robust, happy workplaces, performing a public interest in cutting-edge journalism," says solicitor Josh Bornstein, who has multiple clients at Seven and Nine.

"What the NDAs do is mask the reality of a brutal workplace culture in which women particularly are mistreated very badly and routinely.

"It's an unusually brutal culture. I haven't actually seen anything like it."

'Your job is to get this bitch's story'

One of Josh Bornstein's clients, who is suing the network for sexual discrimination, worked in Sydney as a journalist on Seven's Spotlight program. She describes it as a profoundly sexist workplace.

Her legal claim cites one example in 2022 of entering an edit suite and seeing a pornographic picture on the wall.

"It was of a woman with her legs spread and there was a very detailed drawing of a vagina and it was dripping," the woman says.

"I just found that completely inappropriate and gross."

She does not suggest that the executive producer was aware of it.

THE BIG SWAP: Setting the stage with a VPOTUS pick so bad it’s perfect

ANALYSIS: How the Intelligence Community’s installation of Tim Walz as the Democratic nominee for VPOTUS serves The Big Swap. Walz is so bad he’s perfect.

The selection of Kamala Harris’ vice presidential running mate is official and it’s so bad, it’s perfect. The Intelligence Community has placed another China-owned asset in a critical role on the Democratic ticket for 2024. For those not understanding how and why Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is so bad he’s perfect, consider that the IC is setting the stage for The Big Swap and Kamala Harris is the reason for that swap. Tim Walz makes that reason better.

Walz is a perfectly bad pick to make the IC kabuki theater script fatter and juicier at the same time it gives the illusion of nudging Harris back towards the center.

The Walz selection serves to detract and deflect from Harris and her horrendous track record as a politician; and where she had been rated the number one most liberal US Senator on her way to becoming an unbearable and cackling Vice President and now the worst and most divisive presidential candidate in history: The Big Swap: Kontroversial Kamala.

Here is direct evidence of this with immediate attacks on Walz from an unexpected MSM:

Just look at how the MSM has been tasked to hone in on Walz and whereby the scrutiny due Harris is virtually nonexistent meanwhile, all of the coverage for the IC’s assassination attempt on Donald Trump has disappeared from the news cycle altogether.

Poof, gone and the ultra-short American attention span prevails again.

The public deconstruction of Walz will spark the conversation about the full ticket of Harris-Walz to begin the dialogue in the part of The Big Swap script where Harris’ removal begins.

Between now and then, expect the Intelligence Community narrative of mis/dis/malinformation propagated by the MSM to falsely sow seeds about the effectiveness and popularity of the Harris-Walz campaign at the same time Walz comes under the growing scrutiny that will come to overtake Harris, too, before the IC pivots to The Big Swap at the DNC.

That evidence is already rolling-in, too, where a patently fake and AI-generated background was added to this image in an obvious attempt to sow a popularity narrative for the worst presidential candidate in history:

Damascus Calls On Occupying US Forces To stop Bombing Syrians, Leave The Country

Syria on Saturday called on the United States to stop bombing Syrians, stop supporting Kurdish "separatist militias," and immediately withdraw from Syrian territory.

A statement issued by the Syrian Foreign Ministry said: "US warplanes, with the support of the SDF (Syrian Democratic Forces) militia, launched several raids in Deir Ezzor, Hasakah, and Qamishli, targeting innocent civilians defending their families, villages, and properties."

The statement added: "The SDF, which is an agent of the American occupation, launched criminal attacks on our people in Deir Ezzor, Hasakah, and Qamishli, in addition to other villages in the eastern and northeastern regions. These barbaric attacks led to the martyrdom of a number of Syrian citizens, including women and children."

The US military began partnering with the Kurdish (YPG) People's Protection Units in 2014. An offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), the YPG later changed its name to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

Together, the US and SDF occupy Syria’s northwest, including Hasakah, Raqqa, and parts of Deir Ezzor, denying Syria access to its oil resources and wheat-producing agricultural land. Syria also suffers under brutal US economic sanctions, which have further impoverished the war-torn country.

The Syrian Foreign Ministry statement continued: "The Syrian Arab Republic reaffirms that the US occupation of part of Syrian territory represents a flagrant violation of Syria's sovereignty and the unity and integrity of its territories, and that the United States' support for its agent separatist militias represents a cheap tool to implement its hostile plans against Syria."

Syria stressed that "all these inhumane and immoral practices against its people in the eastern and northeastern regions, including preventing the arrival of food and drinking water, aim to double the suffering of the Syrians and prolong the war against them."

The statement continued, "Syria affirms that the will of its people to liberate their land and preserve their sovereignty will be achieved no matter how great the sacrifices are, and the terrorism and crimes of those militias will not weaken its resolve."

3 Billion People Exposed In Massive Unreported Data Theft

It's one of the "biggest data breaches ever" and you might be exposed as a result.

Background check company Jerico Pictures Inc., which does business under the name National Public Data was breached back hackers earlier this year, a new lawsuit alleges.

The suit says that as a result, 2.9 billion people have had confidential data exposed and stolen, according to a new report from Mashable.

The worst part is that those impacted by this cyberattack may be unaware of their involvement since National Public Data allegedly collects data from non-public sources without consent.

Muslim Senator Fatima Payman has launched a blistering attack on her former party accusing it of using her as a “diversity” hire before silencing her views on the Gazan conflict.

Senator Payman, who sensationally abandoned the Labor party last month over its handling of the conflict, has revealed she was controlled, censored and silenced by senior Labor figures at “every” public event.

The 29-year-old Senator from Western Australian also revealed these political figures would even vet her speeches at official events to stamp out any problematic lines.

“Every move, every interaction, every event I went to, every speech I delivered was controlled, was reviewed,” she said.

“I was told what to say, what not to say.

“There comes a point where you lose your agency as an individual and you wonder, what am I doing here.”

“I don’t think the Labor Party was ready for me,” she said.

“It is great to have somebody who ticks the diversity box, but that diversity in appearance comes with diversity in thoughts and values and representation.

“If parties do not recognize and appreciate and allow for voices of dissent and difference of views, then I don’t think they’re fit for purpose and fit to lead, in particular because modern day Australia looks very different to what it did 50 years ago.”

Ex-teacher denies historical child sexual offences involving 19 children

A former teacher has denied wrongdoing after he was accused of dozens of child sexual offences involving 19 children almost 40 years ago.

Stephen Patrick Andrew Kayser, 68, appeared in Brisbane Magistrates Court today charged with 49 historical offences.

Police allege Kayser committed the offences against primary-aged boys and girls between 1988 and 1990 when he was a teacher at a Brisbane school.

Kayser must report to a police station three days a week, not apply for a new passport, not approach any of the prosecution's witnesses or go to an international airport.

He has been charged with 27 counts of indecent treatment of children under 16, 17 counts of taking a child for immoral purposes and five counts of common assault.

The matter was adjourned until September 2.

Kayser said he will be fighting the charges after he was released from the Brisbane Watch House.

"I don't believe I have done anything," he told reporters.

He said he was "shocked" when police arrived at his home on Saturday.

Police are urging anyone with information to come forward as the investigation continues.

"Crimes against children, who are our most vulnerable, are reprehensible and police are committed to pursuing every avenue of investigation to ensure we seek justice for them," Detective Acting Inspector Deanna Geck said.
