I wrote a long long piece about The Betoota Advocate, a satirical yet legit source of news / current affairs for a lot of people. A fascinating business. The mag photos are works of art. The interview with Bob Katter is brief but memorable. afr.com/companies/media-and-…

The Betoota Advocate has spawned podcast and talent management businesses, and a raft of idioms. Now they just need to make some proper money. afr.com/companies/media-and-…

Honestly, an insane column about Sportsbet's secret NRL tipping competition / advertising Trojan horse.
Here's a story about how Sportsbet used a shell company to shield its involvement in the NRL's tipping competition, which skirted regulations and bombarded users with gambling ads. Then, the jackpot was won by an excluded gambler.

This is unbelievable! After our critical coverage of Kerry Stokes his Seven West Media has seemingly retaliated against us, trying to double the cost to print the paper in WA.
Now the Financial Review will no longer print in Western Australia.

I wrote about chequebook journalism and the depraved move to lure an accused rapist by dangling Thai masseuses. The Bruce Lehrmann scandal exposes and ruins reputations.
