My latest research for @aoav via @BBCNews Saddening. Shocking still it has taken this long for @DefenceHQ to acknowledge these publicly. At least 64 children killed in UK military Afghan operations bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-63…

🗣️ “Journalism that combines courage, discipline and public-interest reporting" 🏆 Congrats to @BBCPanorama and @HannahOGrady for scooping the 2026 Orwell Prize for Journalism, for its long-running investigation into UK Special Forces. The investigation uncovered classified operations and found evidence of unlawful killings by the SAS.

In episode five, I call the church's NZ abuse helpline. In Northland I meet a couple who made a very different kind of call. They blew the whistle on a predator in their midst – only to find that others in their ward would prefer to keep on protecting him. open.spotify.com/episode/3Nk…

In the sixth and final episode, I meet campaigners inside and outside of the Mormon church who are pushing to change the way it handles sexual abusers. And I ask: does the law need to be changed to force the church to do the right thing? open.spotify.com/episode/3Ed…

Great to be interviewed for today's @nzherald Frontpage podcast by @CK_Daniels on the murky topic of CEO pay
💵 Premium: The country’s highest-paid CEO has set a new record for remuneration, a Herald survey reveals. 📈 New Zealand’s top chief executives are being paid more than ever, although the recession has put the brakes on average pay rises.
