Radio News and Current Affairs

I've reported stories for the ABC's premier radio current affairs programs AM, PM and The World Today, as well as Radio National Breakfast and national youth broadcaster triple j's Hack.

I'm proud of a series of stories for ABC Radio National's Breakfast program over summer, as thousands of Australians were issued incorrect debt recovery notices by the government welfare agency Centrelink, many of whom were pursued by private debt collectors over Christmas. Those stories here, here, here and here. I was then commissioned to produce a half hour feature on the topic for the ABC’s flagship investigative program Background Briefing.

I've covered topics like routine underpayment of young people in hospitality and retail,  rubber stamping of mining licenses in marine parks due to administrative error, failures in the rollout of the National Disability Insurance Scheme, the first use of a solar power sharing scheme in Australia, and how Australia's refugee policies affect the country's UN Human Rights Council bid.

Refugees remain in Manus Island compounds without water and power

I produced this story for ABC's RN Breakfast as the Australian government began to shut down the immigration detention centre on Manus Island.

In the following months, the power and water have been shut off in all compounds and the story became international news. I spoke to Amir Taghinia, a young Iranian refugee who has since been resettled in America.
