Spent more than 8 months on this, and it’s the wildest story I’ve ever worked on. The Tasmanian government covered up literally thousands of cases of child abuse over two decades. The cover up continues to this day. #politas themonthly.com.au/issue/2024/feb…
In 30 years of politics, Hanson has become "less knowledgeable and articulate, even as her ideas have increasingly been adopted by the Coalition. The flaming star of the Australian right has turned into its embarrassing, whiny aunt." - @NickFeik 🔥🔥🔥🔥 crikey.com.au/2025/05/07/coa…
When you’re voting today, Tasmanians, don’t just think about the stadium and ferry scandals, please also consider the Ashley detention centre and many child protection/abuse scandals. #politas
Jillian Segal still hasn’t condemned the donation or Advance, and she hadn’t previously disclosed it. Australia’s arbiter of hate speech seems to have given her own family business a free pass. New post: nickfeik.substack.com/p/envoys-in-gl…
If Anthony Albanese was indeed genuinely seeking to restore “social cohesion” by appointing a special envoy to combat antisemitism, he couldn’t have made a poorer choice than Jillian Segal. New post: nickfeik.substack.com/p/envoys-in-gl…

New: The Lattouf decision drew attention to something that needs much more discussion in Australia. On the Lattouf case and other cases of pro-Israel pressure on Australia’s cultural institutions - nickfeik.substack.com/p/the-lattouf-…
It’s absurd and embarrassing in a liberal democracy to have to say this, but people shouldn’t be punished for protesting against genocidal oppression. So many cultural institutions have done this very thing though - and damaged themselves in the process. nickfeik.substack.com/p/the-lattouf-…

Amid all the Very Important analyses of strategies and outcomes in the big media, I love how the one option that’s never mentioned is: Israel should cease its unprovoked attacks on Iran, and negotiate. nickfeik.substack.com/p/pre-emptive-…

A new addition to my TAS investigations. This is one of the most egregious cases of govt negligence I’ve ever come across. Tasmanians need to ask how their child protection bodies are run. It’s a disgrace. #politas tasmaniantimes.com/2025/06/a-stor…
Another alleged serial rapist named in countless reports since the 1990’s who has been on full pay since 2020, has finally lost their job. His alleged crimes are some of the worst Im aware of. Awaiting information about more charges - and an announcement about how the hundreds…
Why is Australia’s right so talentless? Dutton, Palmer, Babet, Hanson, Rennick, Price, Roberts... Truly we are blessed that the right continues to put up such terrible candidates. (first published in Crikey) open.substack.com/pub/nickfeik/p…
