Before Shane took up a position as weekend web editor, he worked on the Post’s National News desk as an editor and reporter, covering issues such as industrial relations, politics, human rights and land evictions. Before moving to Cambodia, Shane worked as a journalist at Fairfax Media in Australia. Away from reporting, Shane is the author of one novel, released in 2010, and once wrote a song that – to his bewilderment – was used on a BBC television documentary.
