When the NACC confessed Commissioner Paul Brereton, to The Guardian on the 15th of August 2024, that he had “retained visibility of significant steps taken” in relation to the Robodebt Royal Commission referrals and “contributed his own views on some issues when requested or when he considered appropriate” the NACC – Robodebt scandal was all over bar the shouting.
The NACC admitting publicly that Commissioner Paul Brereton was still part of the decision making process after the NACC issued a public statement in June 2024 saying that Brereton had in effect recused himself from the matter made his position untenable because the recusal statement was clearly a lie and it is just a matter of time before he is gone.
Any police officer will tell you the best evidence is a confession, and the NACC admission is in effect a confession that Paul Brereton lied about recusing himself from the matter. (Click here to read more)
Media reports since then have added value, some more than others, but that is about it.
But so-called independent journalists Anthony Klan, Michelle Fahy and Elizabeth Minter have tried to muscle in by lying, stealing and deceiving trying to make out they are the bigtime investigative journalists that have, and are, breaking the key evidence for the story. They are doing this after the horse has already bolted.
This is an important article not just for the NACC / Robodebt scandal but also because it shines a light on new media and how at least some journalists and some aspects of new media are no better than the old media we all complain about.
Anthony Klan publishes on his website The Klaxon and sometimes has his own articles republished on other websites. Michelle Fahy and Elizabeth Minter work as freelance journalists from what I can tell and have their work published on numerous websites including The Klaxon. All 3 have worked closely on the NACC / Robodebt scandal.
The dodgiest part of their scam is what they haven’t been reporting, not what they have been reporting although that is also dodgy. And their biggest mistake was to stalk my website and YouTube channel for ideas and steal my content because that put them on my radar.
How the scam works
Their scam is fairly simple and it is to put themselves at the front and centre of the reporting on the NACC / Robodebt scam.
They have done that by first knocking off my extensive, and specialized, work on the NACC and the NACC / Robodebt scandal and also by ignoring the NACC’s admissions about Commissioner Paul Brereton to The Guardian on the 15th of August 2024.
The bottom line is they failed to report key evidence because it would expose their lies of breaking the stories they claim are “exclusives”, they stalk my website for content, steal content off myself and probably others and then they promote their “exclusives” while asking for donations.
Anthony Klan, Michelle Fahy and Elizabeth Minter are potentially putting at risk Robodebt victims getting justice and/or the Robodebt 6 being held to account, and they undermine journalists such as myself trying to set justice right by reporting all the facts.
Their manipulated “news” also aids the government, the NACC and Robodebt 6 by blurring the issues.
Anthony Klan has continued to promote one of his articles, even though he knows it full of lies and in one instance Klan has verballed the NSW ICAC Commissioner John Hatzistergos, and then Klan asks for donations off the back of the articles.
Stealing content from Kangaroo Court of Australia
Anthony Klan, Michelle Fahy and Elizabeth Minter taking content without giving credit is only a minor issue for this article, but it is important to take a close look as it is powerful circumstantial evidence that supports the fact of them trying to highjack the reporting on the matter for their own self-promotion and greed.
This website is a judicial corruption / political corruption website so it should be no surprise I have followed and reported on the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) very closely and I have published some very specific and specialised articles and videos on the matter.
Because a lot of my articles, but certainly not all, are specific and specialised when another journalist rips off the articles it is very obvious. It has happened as least a few times a year since I started publishing in January 2011.
When journalists publish articles they want other journalists to pick up on their stories because it helps promote their work. And the standard rule is the journalist writing an article based on the original journalist’s work will give credit and link back to the original article sending traffic and readers there.
But when journalists take work from a website and don’t give accreditation they are stealing and they do that for a number of reasons.
In this situation they are stealing the work because it is a breaking story with a lot of interest and if they gave credit, as they should and reported all the facts, it would be obvious they are not the hero investigative journalists they are trying to make out they are and it would undermine their very heavy push for donations.
The bottom line is they are committing financial fraud and theft.
Who are Anthony Klan, Michelle Fahy and Elizabeth Minter?

Michelle Faye, Anthony Klan and Elizabeth Minter
I never knew who Anthony Klan was until he set up a website. In 2020, I contacted Klan on Twitter messages and asked if I could use one of his tweets in one of my books. He said yes and he was given credit in the book.
Klan’s LinkedIn profile says he worked for News Corp’s The Australian for 14 years from 2005 to 2019 and started The Klaxon website in June 2020.
He says on his website:
The Klaxon is a completely independent Australian news outlet specialising in exposing business wrongdoing and government corruption. We shine a light on the systemic and structural improprieties currently flourishing within the collective blindspots of much of the general media.
The Klaxon is 100% owned and operated by multi-award winning investigative journalist Anthony Klan, whose work has sparked numerous inquiries and law reforms.
Klan holds Australia’s top journalism award, a Walkley Award, for business journalism and been named a finalist for the Graham Perkin Australian Journalist of the Year. He is a recipient of News Corporation Australia’s top award and three times named News Corporation Australia business journalist of the year. (Click here to read more)
I don’t recall coming across Michelle Fahy and Elizabeth Minter or their work before the last few weeks but possibly have as they have both been journalists for quite a while.
Articles that Anthony Klan, Michelle Fahy and Elizabeth Minter have lifted from this website without accreditation
Article 1
The below article is the first time I became aware that The Klaxon had copied any work from my website.
The NACC released a statement on Thursday the 6th of June 2024 saying they would not investigate the 6 referrals from the Robodebt Royal Commission.
On the 8th of June 2024, 2 days after the NACC announced they would not investigate the Robodebt 6, Anthony Klan stole one of my stories that I published in 2 articles. Klan published it as his own article obviously trying to cash in on the NACC – Robodebt scandal that was all over the media.
It was very specialised article and a story I broke on the 9th of October 2022 titled “Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus cooks the books to justify secret hearings at the National Anti-Corruption Commission and video you won’t see at a Federal ICAC”. (Click here to read the article)
I followed up on the 19th of October 2022 with “NSW ICAC Commissioner John Hatzistergos exposes the lie being told by federal Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus to justify secret hearings”. (Click here to read the article)
On the 8th of June 2024 Anthony Klan published an article titled “NACCered: How Dreyfus fudged the figures to deliver a secret regulator” which was a straight out rip-off of my articles and the title is basically the same as the first article I published and Klan gave no credit.
Klan later claimed he had not read my articles before he wrote his article. So how did Klan come across all the information in his article, 18 months after I broke the story, when no other media wrote about some of the key details in the article except me?
Klan also butchered his article because he didn’t understand it and misquoted various parts and key facts. Klan even verballed the NSW ICAC Commissioner John Hatzistergos as per the below screenshot:

That’s a lie. NSW ICAC Commissioner John Hatzistergos never said that. John Hatzistergos made it very clear that the NSW ICAC have 100% of their hearings in public which I previously reported in October 2022 in the 2 articles linked above.
I sent the below message on Twitter messages to Anthony Klan on the 14th of June 2024 letting him know that I had come across his article he published on the 8th of June:

There was no response from Anthony Klan which I take as him not knowing what to say after he was busted stealing my content.
Anthony Klan was lied to when he sent questions to the Attorney-General, so I published an article on the 16th of June 2024 titled “Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus exposed telling more lies to justify NACC secret hearings to protect corrupt politicians”.
I didn’t attack Anthony Klan in the article for stealing my content and was polite in the article about his numerous mistakes on key facts and said this “Anthony Klan’s scoop wasn’t the scoop he thought it was but that is because it is hard to research a story from a couple of years ago that has been tainted with a lot of lies by politicians.”.
I sent the below message to Anthony Klan on the 16th of June 2024 letting him know about the article I had published that day about him and his article and he responded the next day:

Anthony Klan has never updated his article to correct the numerous mistakes, lies and lies in the government’s responses to his questions etc. But he still tries to profit from the article which he knows is full of lies as per the below Tweet he published on the 8th of October 2024:

Anthony Klan has cooked the books / fudged the figures and verballed the NSW ICAC Commissioner John Hatzistergos in an article he claims the Attorney-General “fudged the figures” which was based on an article he stole off me that he then butchered with lies and false information.
Given Anthony Klan is using some of my stolen content, added with his false information and lies, to commit financial fraud by asking for donations on his website and Twitter for an article that he knows is full of false information and lies then I have an obligation to report it which is part of the reason I am publishing this article.
I spent almost 2 days watching the NACC parliamentary inquiry into the NACC legislation in 2022, I sent questions to the NSW ICAC, watched numerous interviews and did a lot of research for the 2 articles I published as referenced above.
I probably spent 4 to 5 days all up when recording videos and writing the articles is taken into account.
Anthony Klan, like a thief in the night, thinks he can just swoop in and steal my content for his own financial gain. His lies also potentially undermine my reporting on the issue by confusing people who read my articles and his.
Anthony Klan spent 14 years at dodgy News Corp. So, it looks like you can take the boy out of News Corp, but you can’t take the News Corp out of the boy.
Article 2
On the 1st of July 2024 Elizabeth Minter and Michelle Fahy published an article on The Klaxon titled “Brereton’s NACC cloaked in military-grade secrecy“.
They referenced my website and said, “Independent journalist Shane Dowling has uncovered numerous pictures of Brereton and Campbell together at the same events, along with David Hurley before he became Governor General, dating back to at least 2008.”
It was very weak reference, that makes me sound like a photographic journalist, because I had done a lot more than uncover “numerous pictures” and they probably only referenced my article because I busted Anthony Klan ripping off the first article as discussed previously.
They likely gave a weak reference because they didn’t want to send much traffic to my website because they knew there was an article on my website showing Anthony Klan’s lies in his article he stole from my website.
The reality is I had broken the story in June 2023 in 2 articles that NACC Commissioner Paul Brereton had a close relationship Governor-General David Hurley and Robodebt fraudster Kathryn Campbell and her husband Paul Brennan and it was a potential problem. That is how Elizabeth Minter and Michelle Fahy should have referenced it or something similar.
On the 23rd of June 2023 I published an article titled “Kathryn Campbell’s Robodebt lies on video and her friendship with NACC Commissioner Paul Brereton” and on the 26th of July 2023 I published an article titled “Governor-General David Hurley, his $18 million fraud and his mate NACC Commissioner Paul Brereton” which starts off:
“National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) Commissioner Paul Brereton is friends with Governor-General David Hurley and Robodebt fraudster Kathryn Campbell which creates a huge issue as corruption allegations against Hurley and Campbell have almost certainly been made to the NACC to evaluate and investigate if they think it is warranted.”
My reporting in June 2023 was almost a year to the day ahead of the rest of the Australian media.
The weak reference was designed to minimise the number of people clicking on the link and I knew it. But I shared the article on Twitter anyhow because I thought at least they had referenced my work, it was good for my readers and supporters to know other journalists are referencing my work and even though it was a weak reference it was better than the old media do.
When I shared their article they must have taken it as a green light to rip off more of my work.
Article 2.1
While finishing this article I’ve just come across another article by Anthony Klaxon published on the 12th of July 2024 titled “NACC marred by “silence and secrecy”” which is an opinion piece quoting a couple of people in the legal fraternity.
Article 3
On the 8th of August 2024 Twitter journalist Jommy Tee posted documents and emails he received, via a Freedom of Information (FOI) request he made to the NACC, about Commissioner Paul Brereton recusing himself from the Robodebt referrals.
The Guardian published an article on the 9th of August 2024, the day after Jommy Tee’s Twitter thread above, based on the same FOI documents above. (Click here to read)
The Guardian sent questions to the NACC and published an article on the 15th of August 2024 with the NACC’s response.
The Guardian article had the key admissions: “The NACC said Brereton “retained visibility of significant steps taken” in relation to the Robodebt royal commission referrals, and “contributed his own views on some issues when requested or when he considered appropriate”.” (Click here to read more)
As I said above, “the NACC – Robodebt scandal was all over bar the shouting” once The Guardian published those admissions and “media reports since then have added value, some more than others, but that is about it”.
I published an article on Sunday the 18th of August 2024 titled “NACC Commissioner Paul Brereton caught lying about his Robodebt recusal for Kathryn Campbell” which put all the pieces together.
My article has Twitter journalist Jommy Tee’s documents and emails he received from the NACC via his FOI application, key quotes from the 15th of August Guardian article and I added relevant law and precedents and explained how conflict of interest and recusal law works. (Click here to read the article)
On Monday the 19th of August 2024 Elizabeth Minter and Michelle Fahy published an article on Michael West’s website titled “Why did NACC decline to pursue the Robodebt scandal? Conflict of interests revealed” which was a watered-down version of the article I had published the day before.
This was the article where they started trying to control the narrative to make themselves look like the hero journalists breaking the stories.
I had quoted NACC admissions, in the 15th of August Guardian article, in my article on the 18th of August which Elizabeth Minter and Michelle Fahy had clearly read but they ignored it. And they continued to ignore it because it undermined their narrative that the puff pieces they continued to publish had huge value, and therefor were great investigative reporting, when the reality is they have limited value because the horse had already bolted after the NACC’s admissions to The guardian.
Another way of saying it is that Anthony Klan, Elizabeth Minter and Michelle Fahy have tried dragging the story out with their own readers to try and bleed their readers of more donations by not reporting all the facts that undermine their strategy.
Any self-respecting journalist covering the NACC / Robodebt scandal had to report the NACC’s admissions to The Guardian because not to do so is concealing from the reader the most important facts.
It is like police officers not telling victims or the public that a criminal has confessed so the police officers can continue getting paid to investigate a crime that has already been solved by the criminals confession.
Elizabeth Minter and Michelle Fahy had clearly copied my work, at least to some degree, and did reference my work and said, “Our report included photos of the two together, originally published by independent journalist Shane Dowling.” but there was no link for readers to click on back to my article and once again their reference was a weak one that makes me sound like a photo journalist.
They didn’t mention The Guardians articles and only mentioned Jommy Tee’s documents and emails. But Jommy Tee had published his documents and emails 10 days earlier on the 9th of August.
So why didn’t Elizabeth Minter and Michelle Fahy publish an article earlier instead of waiting until the day after I published an article on the issue? Because they didn’t understand it and/or how to put it in an article until I published my article and put all the pieces together.
This particular article you could argue they did not have to reference my article, but it shows they are stalking my website for information, leads and content ideas on an ongoing basis.
Why they decided to publish that article on Michael West’s website and not The Klaxon I do not know. I make no allegation against Michael West. From what I can see Elizabeth Minter and Michelle Fahy have published quite a bit on Michael West’s website on numerous topics yet only that article regarding the NACC in recent times.
Article 4
On the 22nd of August 2024 Elizabeth Minter and Michelle Fahy published an article on The Klaxon titled “NACC boss breaks own integrity policy over Robodebt“
This is another document that Elizabeth Minter and Michelle Fahy got from Jommy Tee which he received from his FOI application. The article is of value and should be reported, but that is about it.
The reason is that recusal common law has been in force for decades, if not centuries, and has been tested in hundreds of courts including the High Court of Australia many times and Paul Brereton has obviously breached it. We don’t need the NACC Integrity policy to know that.
Whereas the NACC’s Integrity policy has never been tested in court and the NACC would say that Paul Brereton has complied with it. But the document is of value, and it is worth reporting.
There was no reference to my work.
Below is an example of Anthony Klan’s fundraising push via his NACC reporting: (Click here to see it on Twitter)

Article 5
On the 23rd of August 2024 Elizabeth Minter and Michelle Fahy published an article on The Klaxon titled “NACC’s year-long Robodebt decision: just two pages long” which was mostly comments by former judge Stephen Charles KC and other rehashed information.
They are obviously getting some traffic and are pumping out any puff piece they can to keep it rolling. Most of the puff pieces also rehash content from my website.
There was no reference to my work.
Article 6
On the 26th of August 2024 Elizabeth Minter and Michelle Fahy published an article on The Klaxon titled ““Recused” NACC boss Brereton at Robodebt meeting“
Once gain it is worth reporting and relevant information, but we don’t know what was said, or even if Paul Brereton spoke, at the meeting unless we go to The Guardian’s reporting on the 15th of August 2024 with the NACC’s response.
The Guardian article had the key admissions: “The NACC said Brereton “retained visibility of significant steps taken” in relation to the Robodebt royal commission referrals, and “contributed his own views on some issues when requested or when he considered appropriate”.”
So, we know it is highly likely at the meeting that Paul Brereton “contributed his own views on some issues when requested or when he considered appropriate”. It’s powerful evidence for a journalist to fail to tell their readers.
The fact that Elizabeth Minter and Michelle Fahy wrote their article about the NACC / Robodebt meeting without mentioning the NACC’s admission’s in The Guardian is scandalous and they were deceiving their own readers because they don’t want readers to know their “scoop” is not as powerful as they try to make out.
There was no reference to my work.
Article 7
On the 29th of August 2024 Anthony Klan published an article on The Klaxon titled “Million dollar NACC boss freezes media as questions heat up” which is mostly a rant about the NACC refusing to answer anymore questions from Anthony Klan, Elizabeth Minter and Michelle Fahy.
I’ll be putting some questions, as per below, to Anthony Klan, Elizabeth Minter and Michelle Fahy and it will be interesting what they have to say.
There was no reference to my work.
Article 8
On Saturday the 31st of August 2024 Elizabeth Minter and Michelle Fahy published an article on The Klaxon titled “NACC boss “misled Dreyfus” over Robodebt” which was a rehashed version of my article published on the 18th of August 2024 titled “NACC Commissioner Paul Brereton caught lying about his Robodebt recusal for Kathryn Campbell” and their article focused on the lie to the Attorney-General and recusal element in my article.
The title of their article and 4 lines in the article, “The word “recuse” has a specific legal meaning, indicating a complete withdrawal from a matter by a judge. Brereton did not recuse himself in this legal sense. Both Dreyfus KC and Brereton SC are legal veterans. Brereton has been “a solicitor, barrister, senior counsel, judge and judge of appeal of the Supreme Court of NSW”, says the NACC.” are almost verbatim of what I said in my weekly radio segment on Wednesday the 28th of August 2024.
I published that radio segment on my YouTube channel, shared the link on Twitter and also published the full video on Twitter on Friday the 30th of August 2024 and then they published their article the day after on Saturday the 31st of August 2024. Below is the extract of the Radio talk.
At the 1.20-minute mark I talk about “the legal interpretation” of recusal and it means a judge would stand aside which is like there sentence “The word “recuse” has a specific legal meaning, indicating a complete withdrawal from a matter by a judge.”
At the 4.30-minute mark I talk about “Paul Brereton sent a letter to Attorney-General saying he had recused himself which is a lie” which is almost identical to their article title.
At the 4.40-minute mark I talk about “Paul Brereton is a former Supreme Court judge” “He knows what recusal is” which is similar to their last lines quoted above of, “Both Dreyfus KC and Brereton SC are legal veterans. Brereton has been “a solicitor, barrister, senior counsel, judge and judge of appeal of the Supreme Court of NSW”, says the NACC.”
It’s like Elizabeth Minter and Michelle Fahy listened to my Radio segment, took notes and then rehashed it for their article. Given they have ripped off my written articles it should be no surprise they would rip off my radio work.
There was no reference to my work.
Article 9
On the 6th of September 2024 Anthony Klan published an article on The Klaxon titled “Questions over NACC Robodebt “investigation”” which is another rant about the National Anti-Corruption Commission Inspector Gail Furness SC refusing to answer Anthony Klan’s questions.
Below is another example of Anthony Klan using his NACC reporting to raise money. Including using my stolen content and his lies. (Click here to see on Twitter)

Anthony Klan accuses the NACC of lying in the above picture. I wonder what he’ll say now I am exposing his lies.
Article 10
On the 9th of September 2024 Anthony Klan and Elizabeth Minter published an article on The Klaxon titled “Brereton’s Robodebt “recusal” claims a sham: Top ex-judge“.
It is basically a rip-off of the article I published on the 5th of September 2024 titled “NACC says Commissioner Paul Brereton didn’t break the law and stands by his “recusal” claim regarding Robodebt“.
Their article is a mash of an opinion piece that Stephen Charles KC wrote for John Menadue’s website Pearls and Irritations and my article but if you take my article out that don’t have much of an article as Stephen Charles KC has already commented for their articles a couple of times before.
Stephen Charles KC comments on the questions and answers I sent to and received from the NACC that I published in my article.
Anthony Klan and Elizabeth Minter quote my article and reference it for a change, instead of just stealing it. But they had no choice as they were obviously short on content and if they wanted to reference and copy Stephen Charles KC opinion piece, they really had to copy the NACC answers from my website.
Ironically, after I started this article, and after almost 2 months Anthony Klan and Elizabeth Minter reported The Guardian’s key evidence from the 15th of August 2024, that Commissioner Paul Brereton had “retained visibility of significant steps taken” in relation to the Robodebt Royal Commission referrals and “contributed his own views on some issues when requested or when he considered appropriate”.
But they didn’t mention The Guardian in a blatant sneaky attempt to take credit themselves, although they did link it back to The Guardian. I know for a fact, that after running this website for over 13 years, that most readers would not have clicked on the link.
See the screenshot below with The Guardian linked in the second paragraph after they have already taken credit in the first paragraph saying, “As previously revealed by The Klaxon”, and many readers would think that applied to the second paragraph as well. That is no accident. It’s a deliberate dodgy referencing to try and claim credit for the information in the second paragraph as well.

They had no choice but to finally report the NACC’s admissions to The Guardian, after almost 2 months of concealing it from their readers, because they needed the NACC questions and answers content from my article which had the NACC’s admission to The Guardian all over it.
Compare how they referenced The Guardian above to how they referenced my article below:
On September 3 independent journalist Shane Dowling put questions to the NACC on the “recusal” matter.
The NACC responded that:
“Recusal is the act of declining (or refusing) to be the decision-maker in a matter.
Commissioner Brereton stated that he would recuse from decision-making. As the documents you refer to demonstrate, the Commissioner declined to be the decision-maker in relation to the Robodebt Royal Commission referrals and delegated the matter to a Deputy Commissioner.
Although recusal in the context of judicial decision making is not directly applicable to a decision of the Commission whether or not to commence an investigation, the precedents to which you refer do not support any different view.”
In scathing comments that cast serious doubt over not only the deeply embattled Brereton, but the Albanese Government’s new “anti-corruption regulator” generally, Charles said that Brereton was “simply wrong”.
End of quote from The Klaxon
Why didn’t they reference the Guardian like they did me? To minimise the traffic clicking on the link because they know their readers would be asking why they hadn’t reported the key facts almost 2 months ago like I had.
Anthony Klan got caught ripping off my content back in June 2024, as I wrote above, and that is probably why he referenced me in the latest article because he is one of the authors. But he’s been happy to let Elizabeth Minter and Michelle Fahy rip off my content and publish it on his website.
Stealing content
Journalists stealing content from other journalists is nothing new and it is something all journalists have to deal with.
But it’s a whole new ball game to stalk someone’s website and YouTube channel for months knocking off content and ideas and paying not much more than lip service to referencing their material. And then also using the stolen content to help run a scam ripping off readers with lies, deception and deceit.
Not everything they write is lies and stolen work and some of it adds value and is worth reporting, but it only adds value, because as I have already said it was all over bar the shouting when The Guardian reported admissions by the NACC.
But Anthony Klan, Michelle Fahy and Elizabeth Minter have taken it to a new level and the content theft is the minor part of the problem.
The major issues are the false and fake information they have been publishing, the withholding of key facts in an attempt to control the narrative to make themselves look like hero journalists and they couldn’t careless who they hurt.
With the NACC thousands of people are trying to get justice for many issues. For Robodebt hundreds of thousands want justice and people held to account.
But when journalists report false and fake information and out and out lies they blur the issues which is what people trying to avoid accountability want.
So, at the end of that day Anthony Klan, Michelle Fahy and Elizabeth Minter are helping the Robodebt 6, Commissioner Paul Brereton and others the NACC should investigate by blurring the truth.
Closing arguments
How much credit Anthony Klan, Michelle Fahy and Elizabeth Minter should have given me in some of their articles is debatable. But some articles it is not debatable and they ripped off my content by failing to give full credit.
Also their lies, deception and deceit in is not debatable. It should not have happened.
Almost all independent journalists struggle financially but resorting to the conduct of Anthony Klan, Michelle Fahy and Elizabeth Minter is not the answer. And they needed to be called out to try to make sure it doesn’t continue and doesn’t happen again. I have to wonder if they have done similar things before.
We call out the old media for dodgy conduct every day and we have to do the same for new media and independent journalists otherwise we are no better than the old media.
We’ve gone from the “Robodebt scam”, to the “NACC / Robodebt cover-up scam” to the “NACC / Robodebt cover-up journalist / reporting scam?”
Any media who are reporting the issue and failing to put the NACC’s admissions made to The Guardian front and centre, if they know about it, are really only putting out puff pieces and aiding and abetting the scam being run by Anthony Klan, Michelle Fahy and Elizabeth Minter.
Some of the questions I will send to Anthony Klan, Michelle Fahy and Elizabeth Minter and see if they will respond:
- Why have you not reported key evidence, until the 9th of September 2024, which are admissions made by the NACC that Commissioner Paul Brereton “retained visibility of significant steps taken” in relation to the matter and “contributed his own views on some issues when requested or when he considered appropriate” regarding the NACC Robodebt referrals from the Royal Commission?
- Why have you deliberately deceived your readers by failing to report the key evidence for almost 2 months as per question 1?
- Why have you continued to promote an article, that you copied from my website, titled “NACCered: How Dreyfus fudged the figures to deliver a secret regulator” when you know it has false information, lies and government lies in it? And why did you verbal NSW ICAC Commissioner John Hatzistergos in the article?
- Where is the article that you promised publishing on the 2nd of September saying, “Will Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus continue to back Paul Brereton to run the ALP’s signature “NACC”? Find out tomorrow…”, and asked for donations for?
End of questions.
Other websites such as John Menadue’s website Pearls and Irritations, Michael West Media and Independent Australia have also published one or two of the same articles that were published on The Klaxon as per above. I make no allegation against them and I don’t suspect them of any wrongdoing, but they should consider reviewing what I have written above.
A lot of high-profile people on Twitter, and likely other social media, have also been promoting Anthony Klan’s, Michelle Fahy’s and Elizabeth Minter’s so called journalistic work as per above. I wonder what they will do and say now.
I could write a lot more but that will do for now. I will send them the above questions and see what their responses are.

Other reliable and credible media outlets quote from KCA from time to time, but they give credit to KCA as the source, MWM and Pearls and Irritations for example, but you’d never ever ever read anything published by KCA on News, 7,9,10 or ABC, as they serve their political masters as a matter of course. Years back Fairfax was deemed reasonably neutral but since takeover by 9, it’s on par with Murdoch bias, perfect example is the garbage from AFR, fin review now best suited for starting the week end BBQ.
Weekend Fin Rev has sold out too? To which criminal consortium? Always an excellent Newspaper to take to a Cricket match and catch up on the weeks News of worth, Reading this piece of News, reminds me of The National TImes – Brian Toohey and other REAL Reporters, who gave you the facts and left the reader with food for analysis and thought, and a Newspaper that could be referred too, and browed throughout the following week..

PART 1: The Journalistic Heist of the Century – Enter the Copy-Paste Crusaders
In a world where original thought is as rare as a three-legged unicorn, some journalists have cracked the code – why bother to create when you can recreate? Their modus operandi? Articles are dissected, repackaged, and served up, demonstrating that in journalism, the art of plagiarism may well be alive and well.
PART 2: The Phantom of the Paragraph – How to Half-Credit, Half-Steal
But wait, there’s more! Behold the brilliance of their technique! Like a thief leaving a fingerprint but assuming no one will dust for prints. Such artistry? Embedded article references are there but hidden in plain sight like a ninja at a disco.
PART 3: The Copycat Carousel – When Borrowing Becomes a Business Model
In a shocking twist worthy of a daytime soap opera, leaving readers dazzled by smoke and mirrors, wondering if they’d stumbled into a parallel universe where facts are optional.
From Robodebt to Robojournalism.
So, where do we land at the end of this dizzying merry-go-round of recycled content and dodgy references? Somewhere between a farce and a cautionary tale. The world doesn’t just need better investigative journalism – it needs fewer literary kleptomaniacs. It would seem KCA, our noble hero, has pulled the mask off some of the villains, leaving I would have thought, some journalists scrambling for cover under the towering shadow of looted words.
Journalism in 2024:
Where journalists who hit the “Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V” buttons reign supreme, and credit is just a courtesy, not a requirement.
This behaviour is typical of Psycopaths BEHAVIOURS/copng mechanisms
Take some of the truth and add your own twists and turns throughout. Give it another photo and graphic design and that makes it all look fresh to the quick scanning people esp., and with all the information overload for years and having to read with fine tooth comb to separate the BS from the facts/real life , and with the fake flu, then the AI (who are the people feeding the machine version) and then the unknown people who have called themselves, or big brother has “the fact checkers” as though one size fits all – we are all ignorant beings,
In stating this I sound as though I giving an imprimatur to these other Joiurnos., NOT SO, they are showing the lack of spine that Shane Dowling exhibits continually in all his journalistic reporting /Articles and in physically taking a physical personal stand.
You are so needed Shane, I am sure you wish you had a twin to help these days.
They don’t care. I took in Article, of some importance to me, with a subheading of “..this is not original. What is ?” A bit sad really.
Well done Shane, the more light shone on dodgy journos the better.
It seems that dirty trick learned under the Murdog tutelage remain rather well ingrained.
Let’s cut to the chase.
The Robodebt Royal Commissioner sealed a section of her report so as to allow an NACC enquiry.
If there is to be no further enquiry by the NACC, the Robodebt report should be proceeded with by the Government.
The Government should refer the report to the AFP for potential prosecution.
The Government should unseal the Report as soon as possible.
Thanks Shane, turns out there are snakes everywhere these days
Was the 18million$ yearly payment to the GG, to be split between nacc & court mob to keep the minister for everything out of jail? it seem’s very likely, so more chargers to be laid, how thick can this plot get?/ as thick as Morrison thinks we are.
