Description
While Michael West Media was being dragged through court by BHP, and while serious questions were being raised about AUKUS, suppression orders and allegations involving Australia’s allies overseas, much of the mainstream media was focused elsewhere.
This week’s Scam of the Week looks at one of the biggest media stories of the week, Luke Sayers’ infamous court battle, and asks a simple question: what determines what becomes news in Australia?
From wall to wall coverage of a former AFL president’s anatomy, to the billions being spent on AUKUS submarines that may never arrive, it’s a look at media priorities, public interest journalism and the stories that get buried when the headlines go elsewhere.
