When Pigs Fly: The Story Behind the Quirk

Pigsfly Newspaper didn’t start as some grand plan. It was born from a moment of frustration—a day when my daughter Vanessa, tired of hearing me rant about politicians being inoculated with self-serving power, finally said, “Dad, just shut up and do something.”

She was right, of course. The endless stream of politicians mouthing useless, catchy slogans, only to ignore the majority and push policies serving vested interests, had to be called out. And that’s exactly what I did. Pigsfly Newspaper was conceived and created as a response to that challenge, a place where the powerful can’t hide behind polished speeches and where the truth gets a fair shot.

What began as a personal mission to take on the political elite has grown into something much bigger: an Australian-owned and operated online newspaper that’s now reaching readers across the globe. From a one-man show to a platform with stories that have grabbed over a million readers, Pigsfly Newspaper is living proof that people crave commentary that’s as audacious as it is truthful.
