Summary

Australian investigative journalist with a career spanning ABC, 60 Minutes Australia, and NewsNation whose UAP reporting produced several of the most significant disclosures of the 2020s. His exclusive 2023 NewsNation interview with David Grusch introduced UAP whistleblower testimony to mainstream television audiences globally. His January 2025 interviews with Jake Barber - including never-before-seen retrieval footage and four corroborating veteran witnesses - represent the most operationally specific public UAP disclosure since Grusch. His 2021 book 'In Plain Sight' drew on primary source interviews with intelligence community insiders, military figures, and government officials to argue that a UAP cover-up is institutionally documented. He combines a career of serious investigative journalism (asbestos industry, POW investigations, war crimes) with the deepest government UAP source network in working journalism.
