On focus in journalism

“I care about those people but the people that I am writing for? They don’t give a fuck about 400,000 brown people, mate. That’ll hit the back pages of the fuckin’ newspapers. But if I find out what happened to those five white Australian journalists, it’s gonna be on the front page, and justice will be served to you and your fucking country.”

Welcome to the layer cake

You’re born, you take shit. You get out in the world, you take more shit. You climb a little higher, you take less shit. Till one day you’re up in the rarefied atmosphere and you’ve forgotten what shit even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake son.
