Today we bring you a very special deep dive into the murky waters of corporate skulduggery.
My guest is Paul Barry.
He’ll be known to many of you as the long-time presenter of ABC TV’s Media Watch, but in fact he has a long and distinguished career as an investigative journalist specialising in uncovering bad behaviour by big business.
Paul Barry’s latest book is called The Big Steal, published by Allen and Unwin.
It’s about a couple of scoundrels called Sanjeev Gupta and Lex Greensill.
Gupta pulled a series of scams around the world by promising to rescue rundown steelworks, power stations and smelters in places where these operations were the lifeblood of the community.
Greensill was his banker.
For years, the real story was comprehensively missed by the media, but Paul Barry has nailed it and is here to tell us why and how.
