BGS Business Breakfast

In April, Walkley Award-winning journalist and former BGS parent Hedley Thomas shared rare insight into his fascinating career at the BGS Community Business Breakfast.

More than 70 guests enjoyed a hot breakfast at the Grove

Rooftop, where Hedley spoke about ethical journalism and his work at The Australian newspaper.

His podcast, The Teacher’s Pet, was a global success. The series eventually led to the conviction of Chris Dawson over the murder of his wife Lynette Dawson who disappeared in 1982.

“Training and experience as a journalist helps you get through the unavoidable conflict you face when telling a story, because you still have to emphasise that Chris at the time of recording, in the eye of the law, was presumed innocent,” Hedley told the crowd.
