The Summer Series continues with special guest Leo Puglisi, the young lad from Melbourne who founded and runs 6 News Australia, and who’s been copping flak on social media from all manner of politically motivated trolls.
We spoke about how he created 6 News and the trolls he’s attracted, fact-checking and the art of journalism, elections, and indeed the upcoming federal election — including a detailed conversation about the seat of Kooyong.
