- Shock jock Ben Fordham has asked me to go onto his program. For months he has done nothing but unfairly and inaccurately attack my journalism. I stand by my journalism, as does the ABC, and I won’t be providing him with content. Maybe he should read this about.abc.net.au/statements/abc…
- Stay tuned...we aren’t letting this story go...there’ll be more revelations on alleged Australian special forces war crimes coming from ABC Investigations in the next couple of weeksSo @AusFedPolice have declared they’re referring my colleague @DanielMOakes to the C’th prosecutors office ... to repeat that: the Australian Federal Police just referred an Australian journalist for prosecution over revelations about alleged unlawful killings by Aus soldiers.
- In 25 years as a journalist I’ve met some brave people. People prepared to speak truth to power, to confront authority, to speak out when they know it will hurt them. I’ve never met anyone braver than Braden Chapman
- Filming near the mouth of the cave in northern Thailand. Fantastic news all boys and coach have safely made it #ThaiCaveRescue
- Very proud to have won this gong. But even prouder to be part of the ABC Investigations unit, the best team in the business. Special thanks to @BradenJChapman who is the real deal, the true spirit of the SAS walkleys.com/award-winners/…
- Some days restore your faith in why we do journalism…and tough journalism that requires an employer with backbone and a public that cares about what we do. Searching for truth is bloody hard work. Glad for @Ageinvestigates and Chris Masters…two of the best.
- This is the sort of fan mail you get for reporting on alleged crimes and misdemeanours by Australia’s special forces. But I’m heartened that a number of former SAS soldiers have contacted me to thank the ABC for bringing these stories to light
- Very important decision for journalism in this country...Court of Appeal overturns order requiring 60 Minutes, SMH and The Age to hand over draft stories
- Australian soldiers allegedly shot and killed 13-year-old Mohammad months after his first photo
- Our story on the single biggest alleged war crime committed by Australian Special Forces in Afghanistan. It is known as ‘the tractor job’.
- A witness for former SAS soldier Ben Roberts-Smith in his defamation case has appeared in court charged with obstructing & causing harm to war crimes investigators. He can only be referred to as Person X.
