A titan of Australian journalism, Paul Barry has finished up at Media Watch and is back on the beat as an investigative journalist. And the story he's just broken is massive. Ever heard of Whyalla? It's down on the bottom of South Australia and it looks like this town has been F*CKED by an (alleged) con-artist. This is Australia's version of the Simpson's Monorail!
