A big loss for the nine publications @PeteMilne4 covers the Oz gas industry like nobody else
After 3 great years, I finish up at @WAtoday today. It's been a privilege working with great journalists where we can write for our readers, not our owners. Thanks to their support, I've managed to get some impactful stories out. Now for a break before getting back on the tools.

Where it started for me. I still cannot believe I was the first to realise the danger. I am sure others knew. They concealed their knowledge for personal gain, sometimes political, sometimes financial.

Maybe a tipping point for California and renewables Tks @billmckibben
The past four months in California have been a miracle of sorts--a huge modern economy that's now running much of the time on renewable energy https://t.co/DkaJkKmepE

Vale Judith so privileged to spend such a lovely night last week with you and the old Herald Angels. Your strength was an inspiration to all of us.
Still reeling. Judith Whelan was a close, true friend. I so admired her wit, her grit & her judgment. As my editor, her belief in my writing fueled me. She loved music, dancing, opera (esp. Rigoletto!), cooking, supping on joy. I'll miss her. https://t.co/WvoKqjqc5Z

Bravo to @TheRealPBarry for doing one of the hardest jobs in the media with courage intelligence and wit. Look forward to his next adventure in journalism
Congrats @TheRealPBarry for outstanding 11 yrs @ABCmediawatch. As tough on the ABC as he was on other media. Paul brought all the forensic analysis & investigative rigour he'd shown during his time @4corners. He & EP Tim Latham have upheld independence of Media Watch. Bravo Paul!
