I reported on federal and international issues for some of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's top radio current affairs and documentary programs. After several years with AM, PM and The World Today I moved onto Radio National - ABC RN. I won a Walkley Award in 2000 for my coverage of East Timor's vote for independence. I was one of the last reporters to leave East Timor before it was ransacked by the Indonesian military, reporting under siege in the UN compound. I was a Walkley finalist in many other years. I freelanced from the US for the ABC and SBS, including reporting on 9/11. On return to Australia I joined ABC RN's Background Briefing team producing investigative radio for a decade. I worked with numerous other RN programs - Breakfast with Fran Kelly, Drive with Patricia Karvelas, The Law Report, Asia Pacific and The Religion Report. Technical skills include as aspects of audio recording and production, photography - shooting and editing, writing for print and web and social media.

Below are some of my documentaries.
