Why supporting Independent Australia investigations is important

Founding David Donovan, successful research gets more than money, welding and shoe base, they receive public support and large hearts.

Successful Australian writer in 2012 John Birmingham He called on social media followers to subscribe. Sydney Morning Herald They were running because of an investigation.

It was a reasonable request – SMH He made many great investigations.

Birmingham, a former journalist, to do this “Appropriate investigations” necessary “Big Money” Paying to journalists and suing slander cases and “Boot on the ground”. He was right. But he was wrong.

IA He had a public debate with Birmingham, then IA There was no boat leather or money surfing, but he was still investigating. At that time, the twin investigations known as “Ashbygate” and “Jacksonville” – the two liberal party tried to reduce the minority Gillard government.

These investigations, IA It has gained national importance for many years and led to the excavation of the former Federal speaker Peter Sapak and the final imprisonment of the Association of Health Services (HSU) scam and Craig Thomsondouble Kathy Jackson.

Independent AUstrala Conservative Thinking Corporal IPA, former Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce, Robodebt, Koalas, Fracking, Sports Rorts, Banking Corruption, Gold Coast Municipality Tat Tate, Fraudster Dominique Group and more, including more effective investigations for the next 13 years.

Interestingly, we are still present after 15 years of continuous publication, John Birmingham’s employer Fairfax Press is no longer available. Indeed, even the platform where this interesting debate took place in 2012 is a very different place known as Elon Musk and X.

However, this masterpiece is not about John Birmingham, an extremely thoughtful human. IA In 2012, he organized a pleasant and gentle public debate on the Internet. One would no longer be possible today, because since it was published in the ongoing columns for the nine, the latest owner of Fairfax, since then, since then deleted All social media accounts.

This editorial researcher is about journalism, something that this publication is passionate. One thing that we publish some of our achievements is also something that we fully appreciate the obstacles summarized by Birmingham.

Because as we said, Birmingham was right. Serious journalism is difficult and gets money. Researcher journalism is even more rare and unlikely, despite the skin.

How did we manage to overcome these obstacles? The short answer, we face them every day, but we have managed to gather widespread and special support for our research. Where Birmingham is wrong, you don’t need big money to investigate, just big hearts.

In particular, because we got help from people who think similarly. In the case of Ashbygate, due to unpaid work of special researcher Ross Jones. Later, the fully unpaid work allocated by the mainstream media, including a book. In particular, in the case of Jacksonville, Peter Wicks, which is never properly accepted for its incredibly comprehensive work, cannot be calculated and free efforts.

Open to everyone, because we succeeded in bringing our readers on a journey, when the mainstream media were ignored, underestimated, and clearly reduced our efforts – they even supported our efforts when calling US conspiracy theorists.

We have leaks and sometimes important sales. Indeed, in the case of Ashbygate, we have established a completely democratic investigation through a unit of trust that we have collected more than $ 50,000 from people around Australia, including legal costs. And our efforts reported yes, yes, Sydney Morning Herald. We published a book Detail our findings in 2015, Ashbygate: Australia’s plan to destroy the speaker, Currently available in Hardcopy HERE.

More importantly, we did not need to reconcile every detail of previous stories in every new article, because every new revelation was eagerly waiting for your expected audience.

They all take us to our current investigation.

Each of our research did not succeed. Sometimes we followed the rabbit holes that led to dilemmas. Not so often, because for a small initiative IA We are often very sure of our doubts to commit an investigation at all times, with energy and expense. In general, these doubts are beyond the balance of possibilities, which is supported by an overwhelming advantage of situational evidence and materials that may leave us responsible for the end of work.

Therefore, successful research requires more than money, resources and shoe base, and also receive public participation, participation and tremendous amount of discretion. Support and minds.

This leads us to our current investigation. This is important, or we wouldn’t do it, but we really need your engagement. Because in our opinion, it is one of the research that has never reached its potential, but although it already has an effect. Now, people come to us with hidden materials, because we have largely continued since 2016. IA He published his first investigations.

It becomes very interesting, as subscribers and ambassadors, we really need your help. IATo help introduce this story.

Because hot money involves the infiltration of institutions by corruption in the public office and excessive religious sects and other related organs. Their effects are not only for 600,000 people living in Gold Coast, but also for a template task for strong and wealthy to benefit from the fragility of all Australians. It reveals the fragile nature of our public institutions and political parties – most importantly, the liberal party – and has echoes for our common reserve and roofs on our heads.

Here are some stories IA Founding Dave Donovan and Tom Tate and Gold Coast City Council since 2016:

In addition, we will highlight and update the full research, and soon we will soon be an easy -to -access source, an detailed time schedule, including articles of other valuable contributions.

Later this weekBased on the material that has not been exposed to before, we will publish the latest explosive story that connects most of the most of the threads and send you directly with this update. However, it may not be fully logical, because we cannot summarize everything with existing words. Trust us, that’s important.
