As you said, Ryan, it's an extreme privilege that we welcome Hamish McDonald back into the studio as one of Australia's most awarded and loved journalists.

Hamish has travelled all over the world delivering us on-the-ground, real-time updates about conflicts, natural and man-inflicted disasters.

For his work, Hamish has received a Walkley Award and a Human Rights Australia Award for his journalism.

He was GQ's Man of the Year in 2012.

Whoa!

What did he get for that?

Yeah.

Your sport?

Yeah, obviously.

And in 2016, Hamish was awarded a Neiman Fellowship at Harvard University.

Hamish was a previous host of Q&A on ABC, Channel 10's The Project, and now is working as morning's presenter on ABC Sydney Radio.

Hamish also co-hosts Global Roaming, which I listen to every single night because my wife listens to it every night in bed.

It's wonderful.

Good to be there as well.

Anyway, moving on very quickly.

It's one of Penny's demands before we go to bed.

You did say you'd go red.

Put Hamish's voice on, please.

Hamish has dedicated his life to reporting the facts, but what are facts and how much does their truth matter?

Is that a question?
