Kids' TV host loses job in Canberra over old posts

Former Play School host Rhys Muldoon lost his casual job with Senator Richard Dowling — Tasmania's man in Canberra — on 15 September 2026. Old posts targeting Peta Credlin came up. Dowling called them 'abhorrent tweets' and decided 'to not continue with his casual contract'. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said that was 'appropriate'. Canberra tidies these messes fast.
