It's something that I just see it as a trusted source.

I've got to be one of those people in that population.

So we've got some questions here around, in particular, how do you kind of go about your day deciphering the news?

And the first one we've got is a bit of fact or fiction.

How can someone, you know, determine what is fact and what is fiction?

Because, you know, especially now we talked about it off air, it's just, it's an attention grabbing economy now.

Attention spans are shorter.

What are some of the steps that you might take or tell other people to take to make sure they're getting the right information?

I think that's the key, right?

It's particularly with new publications, the first thing I do almost always is go to the footer to find out what is this organisation, who is it, where are they from, why are they writing this and investing Charlie Munger's quote, just tell me where I'm going to die and I won't go there.

And I use that all the time because it's so powerful.

The incentive is I don't want to die so I just won't go where I know I'm going to die.

And it's the same thing with any type of incentive.

If you just follow those, I think you find out a lot about the source of the information.

Okay, so you have a particular bent towards finance and money.

I know because we've crossed paths a few times.

What are some of the, I guess, have you seen any financial scams play out in your time at the ABC?

Or do you just have any, I guess, general stories or things that consumers need to be mindful of that you've seen play out again and again?

I think that's a good general rule.

Just avoid anyone who guarantees anything.
