Expenses scandal reporting
The exclusive investigation into the South Australian parliament's accommodation allowance scheme for regional MPs by Nick Harmsen and I resulted in significant change. Two MPs were charged with corruption offences, more than $100,000 in public money was repaid by politicians, cabinet ministers stepped down and allowance scheme rules were overhauled.
