2015 Highlight
A selfish one – joining Daily Mail Australia as managing director.
2015 Lowlight
A tie – the 15 minutes of Will Colvin and media sledging other media – we’ve all been guilty of it, and some more than others, but increasingly it’s tantamount to two bald men fighting over a comb.
Story of the year
For me, it has to be stories of the year. Globally, it’s impossible to overlook the Paris attacks. Closer to home, the tragic death of Adelaide Crows coach Phil Walsh, the fall of Tony Abbott and rise of Malcolm Turnbull and for pure kitsch, ANYTHING to do with Auburn’s deputy mayor Salim Mehajer.
Most notable trend
The creeping realisation that media doesn’t influence election results nor wield as much political influence as it thinks it does.
What are you excited about for 2016?
Salim Mehajer – The Musical.
