Midweek Mediawatch - Mediawatch's weekly catch-up with Nights.
This week Colin Peacock talks to Mark Leishman about how a ‘tough on crime’ policy tweak triggered the media - after ‘Mad Max’ Mongrel Mob scenes in the news. Also: media war-gaming the election too soon; a political column winding back the news cycle; the problems that prompted the scrapping of a big newspaper story emerge - and the ‘grandfather of whistleblowing’ dies.
