Gary Adshead has spent almost 42 years working across print, radio and television having started journalism in a small country town in New Zealand.
He has become best known for crime, political and investigative reporting, which has seen him with multiple awards, including WA’s Journalist of the Year on four occasions.
In 2024, Adshead took out the national broadcasting industry’s Best Podcast award for an eight-part series taking listeners behind the scenes of some of his most significant stories.
In 2017, he broke one of the biggest political scandals to hit the state by revealing member of parliament Barry Urban had lied about his role as a war crimes investigator.
Two years later, Adshead exposed corruption, violence and extortion linked to the tow trucking industry prompting new government regulations.
He has returned to Business News after three years hosting radio programs on 6PR and ABC and when not covering politics, Adshead will be asking the hard questions and having a laugh during Business News events.
