I’m an investigative journalist and host at ABC’s Background Briefing, and I’ve also worked at the broadcaster’s flagship current affairs shows Four Corners and Media Watch.

I’ve dug into cold cases, interviewed an Australian accused of colluding with China’s military, tracked down a fugitive property developer, revealed the Israeli government was vetoing civilians leaving Gaza, waded into the dark corners of YouTube feuds, traced how vaccine skeptics fell down the rabbit hole, debunked multiple wellness trends and traced the power of one of Australia’s richest families.

My reporting has also appeared in The Observer, The Guardian, The New York Times, Foreign Policy, Monocle, Sydney Morning Herald and more.

Beyond my journalism, I’ve hosted live events at the Edinburgh International Book Festival, Sydney Opera House, Sydney Writers’ Festival, Byron Writers Festival and more.

And I’ve served as a judge for the NSW Literary Awards, Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards, the Horne Prize, and the Judith Neilson Institute’s Long Lede program.
