But if bullying via social media was the cause of this student's suicide, it was news to her family: As far as we were aware, she wasn't being bullied or targeted on social media. - Text message from the girl's mother, 27 August 2025

Name the hacks. What possible reason could they have not to back their work publicly? Except for it being a vulture to grief, exploitation of a child’s death, utterly disrespectful and - worse of all for supposed journalists - factually incorrect. I hope they’re sued into Centrelink. #ausnews
