EPISODE 72 : Nick McKenzie

This week, we welcome renowned Australian investigative journalist Nick McKenzie to the show. Although Nick doesn’t work directly in the law, his work intersects with it almost daily. Some of his greatest collaborators have been lawyers - as have some of his greatest foes.

Nick has enormous respect for the law, yet he also sees its limits, and believes journalism can bring justice where the law cannot. And he’s certainly used his craft time and time again to do just that - exposing police corruption, foreign interference in Australian politics, and war crimes. His work has even instigated a Royal Commission.

It’s a dynamic and, at times, surprising conversation and a real delight to hear about Nick’s life and career.
