After inheriting a Nikon F3 camera from his photographer uncle in his teens, Andrew Quilty set about casually documenting life. Later, when he was studying photography in the day, and working in a bottle shop at night, a regular took an interest in his work. He turned out to be a photo editor at the Fairfax media company; this was a time when Australia newspapers were punching above their weight on a global stage. Fate had set the wheels in motion for a life and career Quilty never could have imagined. Today, Quilty is a multi-award-winning photojournalist whose work has been published by The New York Times, BBC News and TIME Magazine - and garnered accolades worldwide. He's won a World Press Photo Contest award, a Pictures of the Year International award, a Sony World Photography award and six Walkley Awards, including the Gold Walkley, the highest honour in Australian journalism. On a two-week assignment in 2013 to shoot the Afghani cricket team he fell in love with Afghanistan and spent the next eight years living in and documenting the wartime country and its people. He's travelled to two thirds of the country's 34 provinces and produced two books on his time there. The first ‘August in Kabul' is a novel about America's last days of occupation, and the second ‘This is Afghanistan' is a visual record designed in by Vince Frost with Wing Lau. Both books are published by The University of Melbourne - ‘This is Afghanistan' will be released this month. Listen in as Vince and Andrew discuss; the ethics of beautifying death and tragedy, how recently media have become fair game in war zones, and the story behind his harrowing Walkely Award Winning photograph and article ‘The Man on the Operating Table'.

Told through the eyes of witnesses to the fall of Kabul, Walkley award-winning journalist Andrew Quilty's debut publication offers a remarkable record of this historic moment. August in Kabul: America's Last Days in Afghanistan (Bloomsbury, 2023) is the story of how America's longest mission came to an abrupt and humiliating end, told through the eyes of Afghans whose lives have been turned upside down: a young woman who harbors dreams of a university education; a presidential staffer who works desperately to hold things together as the government collapses around him; a prisoner in the notorious Bagram Prison who suddenly finds himself free when prison guards abandon their post. Andrew Quilty was one of a handful of Western journalists who stayed in Kabul as the city fell. This is his first-hand account of those dramatic final days. Andrew Quilty's photography career began in Sydney, in the year 2000, on the day his application to a university photo elective was rejected. He quit, and set off around Australia with a surfboard and a Nikon F3 that his uncle—also a photographer—had passed down. His work in Afghanistan has been published worldwide and garnered accolades including, in 2019, a World Press Photo, a Picture of the Year International award of excellence in the category of Photographer of the Year (POYI), and prior to that, a George Polk Award, three POYI awards, a Sony World Photography award and six Walkley Awards, including the Gold Walkley, the highest honor in Australian journalism. In 2016, a selection of his work from Afghanistan was exhibited at the Visa pour L'Image Festival of Photojournalism in Perpignan, France. He has travelled to two thirds of Afghanistan's 34 provinces and continues to document the country through pictures and, increasingly, the written word. Connor Christensen is a graduate student at the University of Chicago, pursuing both an MPP at the Harris School of Public Policy and an MA at the Center for Middle Eastern Studies. His work focuses on the reintegration process of veterans of the military and non-state armed groups in contexts spanning the US, Colombia, Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, and beyond. He is a staff writer for the Chicago Policy Review, director of projects and programs at Corioli Institute, and a contributing researcher at Trust After Betrayal.

Andrew Rule is a Gold Walkley winning journalist and author (Underbelly) who grew up on a farm in Gippsland and made his way from The Maffra Spectator to the pinnacles of Australian investigative reporting. His father, Keith, spent his life felling and fashioning timber, and this eulogy is a beautiful ode to a man and his axe. It was written as a feature for The Age in 1998, written as Keith Rule lay in the next room dying, and then adapted slightly to be read at the funeral in Lake Tyers on 27th June 1998. There is no audio of the original speech, so Andrew Rule has re-recorded the speech for this podcast. Andrew Rule mentions his colleague Les Carlyon in this chat, and Andrew's eulogy for Les Carlyon is also on Speakola.

Vedran ‘Maz' Maslic is the host of ‘The Voices Of War'. In this episode, Maz interviews Andrew Quilty. Who started his career in Sydney, then moved to New York City and eventually to Kabul, Afghanistan, after a two-week trip to photograph the Afghan cricket team turned into an odyssey now into its eighth year. He has worked in all but a handful of Afghanistan's 34 provinces, photographed for most of the world's premiere publications and won several accolades, including a World Press Photo Award, a Polk Award, several Picture of the Year International awards and the Gold Walkley, Australian journalism's highest honour. We covered many topics, including: the danger of oversimplified narratives of conflict, second-order effects of coalition operations, and the dangers of life as a war journalist.

Some of the topics we covered are: Andrew's exit from Afghanistan Reflection on the birth and message of Andrew's book ‘August in Kabul' Hedging your bets as a means of survival in Afghanistan The reality faced by everyday Afghans after the fall of Kabul Reflection on the support for the Taliban throughout Afghanistan The muddy nature of relationships across front lines Why the Afghan government collapsed so quickly on 15 August 2021 The US-Taliban agreement in Doha Impact of US military and logistical support withdrawal on the Afghan National Security Forces Government lack of legitimacy in the eye of everyday people The fall of Kabul on 15 August 2021 as observed from the ground Survivor guilt and hardships of refugees ISIS Kabul Airport attack and hell at Abbey Gate US drone strike and impact of collateral damage The reality and challenges of regime change Andrew's future If you like what you've heard, please consider liking and reviewing the show wherever you get your pods.

The Australian-led peace-making mission in East Timor, known as INTERFET and overseen by the former Chief of the Defence Force and Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove, is regarded as a moment of national pride. But 4 Corners has now raised serious allegations of a secret interrogation facility and the torture of more than a dozen suspected pro-Indonesian militia-men by some Australian soldiers. Today, Gold Walkley-winning ABC 4 Corners journalist Mark Willacy on how his reporting on alleged war crimes in Afghanistan led him back in time to uncover allegations of another blight on Australia's defence record.

This week I'm talking to Ross Coulthart about his book 'In Plain Sight: An investigation into UFOs and impossible science'.UFOs, UAPs, flying cigars, extraordinary new technologies ... Are we not alone?Award-winning investigative journalist Ross Coulthart has been intrigued by UFOs since mysterious glowing lights were reported near New Zealand's Kaikoura mountains when he was a teenager. The 1978 sighting is just one of thousands since the 1940s, and yet research into UFOs is still seen as the realm of crackpots and conspiracy theorists.In 2020, however, after decades of denial, the US Department of Defence made the astonishing admission that strange aerial and underwater objects frequently reported and videoed by pilots and tracked by sensors are real, unexplained, and pose a genuine national security concern.Compelled to investigate, Coulthart has embarked on what's become the most confronting and challenging story of his career, speaking to witnesses, researchers, scientists, spies and defence and intelligence officials and insiders. What he has found suggests that the world is on the cusp of extraordinary technological breakthroughs and cultural revelations.Bizarre, sometimes mind-blowing and utterly fascinating, In Plain Sight tells a story that's largely escaped the radar of mainstream media coverage but has been there all along. Now it's time to observe what's in front of our eyes.BioMulti-award-winning investigative journalist with over three decades experience in newspapers and television, including reporting for The Sydney Morning Herald newspaper, ABC TV Four Corners, Nine Network Sunday program and 60 Minutes, Seven Network Sunday Night.Five times winner of Australia's national journalism prize – the Walkley Award – including the highest award, the Gold Walkley.

Today, I spoke with Mark Willacy, the journalist behind the ABC report ‘Killing Field' as well as the recently published book ‘Rogue Forces: an explosive insiders' account of Australian SAS war crimes in Afghanistan'. Even though I stated that I will recommence publishing new episodes on the 21st of February 2022, I am releasing this one as a Special Release as I feel that the contemporary relevance of this conversation warrants it. As you will hear, some of the topics Mark and I covered include the intent behind his journalism, his initial exposure to war and conflict in the Middle East, how ‘Killing Field' and ‘Rogue Forces' came about, the people who approached him, impact of the environment on our soldiers, impunity of politicians and much more. On a personal note, this was by far the most difficult interview I have conducted because of the highly volatile and close-to-home subject. All I ask of my audience is that they take heed of my opening remarks before diving into the interview. This is an important topic that we need to talk about and do so respectfully. Lastly, you can see my recently published article that I mention here. --- Full show notes: My guest today is Mark Willacy. Mark has been a journalist for more than 25 years and has reported for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Australia's national broadcaster, from more than 30 countries. Mark is a seven-time Walkley Award winner and in 2020 he was awarded Australia's highest honour in journalism, the Gold Walkley, for exposing alleged Australian SAS war crimes in Afghanistan. His winning Four Corners report ‘Killing Field' made headlines around the world and sparked a federal-police war crimes investigation. Mark's investigations provided evidence for 12 cases named in the Brereton Report, the independent Australian Defence Force inquiry into war crimes in Afghanistan between 2005 and 2016. Earlier in his career, as the ABC's Middle East correspondent for four years, Mark also reported on the ground from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the 2003 war in Iraq. He was also the Japan correspondent in 2011 when the country was hit by its most powerful earthquake in more than a thousand years. Mark has twice been named Queensland Journalist of the Year and in 2019 he won a Logie Award for his Four Corners' world exclusive on the Thai cave rescue. Mark has authored several books, including ‘The View From the Valley Of Hell' a book about his time in the Middle East in the early 2000s, ‘Fukushima', which is an account of the 2011 earthquake and the twin catastrophes of the subsequent tsunami and nuclear meltdown. And more recently, he published the book ‘Rogue Forces: an explosive insiders' account of Australian SAS war crimes in Afghanistan'. He joins me today to discuss this last book, how it came about and its impacts. Some of the topics we covered: Marks entry into investigative journalism His time in the Middle East in the early 2000s Motivation behind extreme violence in the Middle East Lessons learnt about human nature First encounters with the Australian SAS in Iraq How ‘Killing Field' and ‘Rogue Forces' came about Why Mark released the book when he did The sources of information for Mark's book Impact of the environment on our soldiers Impunity of politicians Current state of the media Narratives surrounding Mark's book Mark's response to Heston Russell's recent public complaint The way forward Lastly, you can see my recently published article that I mention here.

My guest today is one of Australia's most-prominent photo/investigative journalists, Andrew Quilty. Andrew started his career in Sydney, then moved to New York City and eventually to Kabul, Afghanistan, after a two-week trip to photograph the Afghan cricket team turned into an odyssey now into its eighth year. He has worked in all but a handful of Afghanistan's 34 provinces, photographed for most of the world's premiere publications and won several accolades, including a World Press Photo Award, a Polk Award, several Picture of the Year International awards and the Gold Walkley, Australian journalism's highest honour. More recently, Andrew has focussed on the written word. His 18-month investigation into a CIA-led Afghan militia, responsible for several massacres in 2019, for The Intercept, was recently the recipient of an Overseas Press Club of America Award. His most recent piece published in the April edition of The Monthly is titled, ‘The Worst form of Defence: New revelations of Australian war crimes in Afghanistan', which is an investigation into alleged war crimes by Australian special forces in Uruzgan. This, of course, is separate to the 'Afghanistan Enquiry' released in Nov last year. We covered many topics, including: Andrew's entry into photography The craft of photography The pull of Afghanistan ‘Seeing' the people of Afghanistan Danger of oversimplified narratives of conflict Second-order effects of coalition operations Foreigner's (lack of) understanding of Afghanistan Background to his award-winning photo “The Man on the Operating Table” Andrew's shift to the written word The dangers of life as a war journalist Andrew's views on the future of Afghanistan You can see some of Andrew's photographs via his webpage here, read Andrew's article 'The CIA's Afghan Death Squads' here, and his article ‘The Worst form of Defence', here.

The 2020 winner of the Gold Walkley Award, the highest prize in Australian journalism, was ABC’s Mark Willacy and the ABC Investigations team, Four Corners, for the shocking program “Killing Field” revealing alleged war crimes committed by Australian SAS soldiers. Working tirelessly to find sources within the secretive ranks of the Special Air Service Regiment, the SAS, and spending weeks verifying allegations with family members of alleged murder victims on the ground in war zones, Willacy produced gut-wrenching reports too powerful for the public and the defence hierarchy to ignore. Willacy was interviewed by Chris Masters, Gold Walkley award-winning journalist and author, and the first Australian journalist to be embedded with special forces in Afghanistan, to discuss the program, the difficulties of conducting investigations into one of the more secretive organisations in the country, and the obfuscation of the Australian Defence Force, at the 2020 Walkley Winners' Dinner in Sydney on February 26.
This fearless multi-Walkley award winning journo has exposed corruption in almost every realm of society, from unions to rugby league, in health and politics, to behind the scenes of the media itself. Kate McClymont is an investigative journalist with The Sydney Morning Herald. She was awarded the Gold Walkley for her coverage of the Bulldogs salary cap rorts saga, and in 2017, was inducted into the Media Hall of Fame. Kate’s latest book, Dead Man Walking, tells the story of the lives and shoddy business deals of Michael McGurk and Ron Medich. And as Kate tells me on this episode of The Journo Project podcast, her unlikely big break into starting her career, came from busking in Kings Cross.
This year in Australia we’ve seen unprecedented attacks on journalists: from raids and digital surveillance to court suppression orders and pressure to reveal sources. Hear from an all-star panel of award-winning journalists about how important sources and whistleblowers are to investigative journalism; why this kind of reporting is critical to our democracy; and the risks journalism faces in the current climate.

We lie to protect ourselves or others. We lie to avoid consequences. We lie to be cruel. Sometimes, we lie just because we can. Chris Taylor talks to three people who detect lies for a living – crime and corruption reporter Matthew Condon, Gold Walkley–award winning investigative journalist Kate McClymont and forensic psychiatrist Dr Calum Smith. They reflect on the crimes they’ve solved, the scandals they’ve exposed and the discoveries they’ve made about the inner workings of the deceitful mind.

Exposing corruption and abuse; pushing for changes to law and policy that protect everyday Australians: that’s the power of great investigative journalism. It’s work that takes a lot of time, investment and skill from journalists: three things that are under more pressure than ever in today’s media. A new culture is emerging, of collaborative projects and new funding sources to support this work. A brave new world of public interest journalism, where the bottom line is less about dollars and more about impact. In a conversation presented by the Walkley Foundation and RMIT, hear from special guest Robert J Rosenthal about how nonprofit newsrooms are working in the US. An award-winning journalist and editor of some of the US’ biggest newspapers, he went on to run the nonprofit Center for Investigative Reporting, taking it from a staff of six and a budget of under a million dollars in 2008; to today’s award-winning, multimedia public service news organisation with a staff of 70 and a budget of over $10 million annually. Robert is joined by a panel of stellar Australian journalists: Sushi Das, journalist, RMIT/ABC Fact Check Stephen Drill, journalist, Herald Sun Robert J Rosenthal (US) Participating moderator: Michael Bachelard, investigations editor, The Age, (2018 Gold Walkley winner) This podcast was edited by Kevin Suarez at 2ser studios, Sydney. The discussion was recorded in Melbourne on September 4 2018. We were lucky to have the support of the Copyright Agency’s Cultural Fund to bring Robert to Australia. Thanks also to Private Media for their support on this event.

An amazing tonic for all the hand-wringing about the shrunken attention spans of young people today.

Heidi Blake, BuzzFeed UK's investigations editor who coauthored the project, tells us how it worked. With a Q&A led by Caro Meldrum-Hanna, 2015 Gold Walkley-winning investigative reporter.

Sarah Ferguson is a journalist and author. Last year, ABC television screened her three-part documentary series The Killing Season, which examined the forces that shaped the Australian Labor Party during the recent years in which Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard led the party, and the nation. Based on Sarah's lengthy and insightful interviews with key political players, and filmed with the drama and style of the Netflix series House Of Cards, it was pitch-perfect television that resonated strongly across the country, attracting around a million viewers each episode. The series further established Sarah's reputation as one of Australia's finest television interviewers and presenters. Since 2008, she has worked as an award-winning investigative journalist on current affairs program Four Corners – which she currently hosts – as well as filling in for Leigh Sales as the host of 7.30 in 2014, and conducting several hard-hitting political interviews during that time. In 2016, Sarah became an author with The Killing Season Uncut. Co-written with series researcher Patricia Drum and published in April by Melbourne University Publishing, Sarah's book goes behind the scenes to candidly reveal the stories behind the interviews with Rudd, Gillard and a host of other key players. I found that her asides into the craft of journalism were a highlight of the book, such as this quote: "The business of persuasion is a fraught one for journalists. Persuasiveness is one thing, bullshit is another. You have to understand your subject intimately and what their purpose is in speaking on camera. I prefer candour but it's not enough by itself. And you are not friends, although it can appear that way. The line you shouldn't cross is usually only visible when it's behind you." When Sarah was on a day trip to Brisbane in early May, we met at her inner-city hotel room so that I could ask her a few questions before she had to dash off to a radio interview across town. It was a thrill to be sitting across from one of the country's most formidable journalistic brains; within a few minutes, she had called me out for incorrectly attributing a quote from the book to her, rather than Julia Gillard. Our conversation touches on how her writing style has developed across her career; her early writing influences, including her love of poetry; how she comes up with ideas for her Four Corners stories; why she posted a Julia Gillard quote above her desk; who she turns to when she's having trouble with a story; and how she decided to open a live budget night interview on 7.30 with a particularly devastating question for then treasurer Joe Hockey. Sarah Ferguson is an author and ABC journalist. In the same year that she worked on The Killing Season, she also wrote and presented Hitting Home, the landmark series on domestic violence. She has presented the ABC's 7.30 and worked as a journalist on Four Corners, where she won four Walkleys – including the Gold Walkley in 2011 for 'A Bloody Business' – the Melbourne Press Club Gold Quill Award, four Logies for most outstanding public affairs report, as well as the George Munster Award for Independent Journalism and the Queensland Premier's Literary Award.

Six-time Walkley Award-winner Pamela Williams was awarded the Walkley Book Award in 2013 for Killing Fairfax (Harper Collins) – an expose of the fortunes of Fairfax Media inspired by the huge rounds of redundancies and cuts that arrived at the media company after years of challenges to its newspaper business model. Judges described Killing Fairfax as a detailed, insightful and powerful explanation of what happened when digital adventurers ambushed the traditional Australian media empires which had built what had been considered impregnable fortresses out of the revenue from newspaper advertising. The fortresses crumbled – and were hastily subjected to desperate reconstruction plans – as the digital interlopers gained strength, income and influence. As an investigative reporter at The Australian Financial Review, covering politics and the business world, Pamela Williams has won five Walkley Awards since 1994, including the Gold Walkley in 1998 for her coverage of the war on the Australian docks. She has also won the Graham Perkin Journalist of the Year award. She is the author of two best-selling books – the political campaign book, The Victory – on the rise of the Howard Government and the business book, Killing Fairfax, which detailed the collapse of the advertising model which had been the financial backbone of the Fairfax Media Empire. This fascinating discussion will be hosted by Richard Aedy, host of ABC’s Media Report. Richard began his journalistic career in 1988 in New Zealand and has worked as reporter, producer, executive producer and presenter in three countries, including four years at the BBC in London. As a journalist, Richard has covered crime, aviation, industrial affairs, science, health, technology, education, economics, epidemiology, indigenous issues, social change and the media. He has made award-winning documentaries in Colombia, East Timor, the United States and the UK. After more than 20 years, he remains interested in everything. Richard is a former Reuters Foundation Fellow at Oxford, former presenter of The Buzz and he presented Life Matters from 2006 to the end of last year. He is a lifelong media junkie.
