I agree Carole. Independent Australia wrote about Barnaby before the by-election not after he was safely returned.
Congrats to Jana Wendt ….always enjoyed her work….
Sharri Markson winning ‘journalist’ of the year is an absolute joke & makes you question the credibility of these Awards. She won on false pretences. She did not break that story on Barnaby. Independent media broke it months before. She & all other mainstream media refused to publish it until after he had safely won the by-election. And even then only touched on his affair & ignored his rorts, which is the important story.
