Spent more than 8 months on this, and it’s the wildest story I’ve ever worked on. The Tasmanian government covered up literally thousands of cases of child abuse over two decades. The cover up continues to this day. #politas themonthly.com.au/issue/2024…

The rotten core

A Tasmanian inquiry uncovered decades of catastrophic failure to protect young people in the state’s care and a bureaucratic tangle that sheltered their abusers

Why does this micronation have a commercial airline with seven Boeing 737s? Because the Australian government goes to absurd and dangerous lengths to prop it up. The scandal of Nauru Airlines and Australia’s offshore detention regime. Now on my substack: nickfeik.substack.com/p/the-…

Important investigation by @nickfeik.bsky.social billions of public wealth is being poured into Nauru with little to no oversight. All so Labor can continue its race to the bottom on immigration.

The strangest irony: as a result of supporting Nauru Airlines, to facilitate Australia’s offshore immigration apparatus, Home Affairs has been abetting illegal immigration. (Read to the end.)

Media Watch think they’re very clever outing a confidential source, and think it’s a scoop that the source isn’t admitting to being a coke dealer on national tv. But they haven’t done really basic due diligence themselves, and are only proving the ABC won’t protect its sources.

Also: Why was she even there? There are no genuine antisemitism allegations against ABC or SBS; she had none to add; and it’s got zero to do with Bondi. Why was she invited to appear again?? To slag off the public broadcasters? Issue wasn’t even in the terms of reference. wtf

In her testimony to the antisemitism royal commission, Segal couldn’t name a single example of antisemitism in ABC or SBS coverage of Israel, let alone in local stories. That didn't stop her from attacking the broadcasters and calling for a new regulator. nickfeik.substack.com/p/a-na…
