Somewhere in an Indonesian shipyard, a new ferry for Kangaroo Island went quiet for three weeks. Dan Clarke, former South Australian Journalist of the Year, double Kennedy Award winner and Walkley winner, arrives with breaking news: Ruwi is back on the tracking signal. From there we cover his start as a messenger at The Advertiser, his move to the island, and his running of Island Independent and the Kangaroo Island News and Satire page. We also talk about why a small community needs a fourth estate even when some readers find the jokes too negative. There’s no SA Drink of the Week in this episode. In the Musical Pilgrimage, Steve Davis and the Virtualosos answer satire with satire. Schrödinger’s Platypus takes a $4 million pledge to bring platypuses back to the River Torrens and asks whether they are in the river, not in the river, or just useful for a press release.

Running Sheet: Kangaroo Island News, Satire, and Frontier Journalism 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:00:00 SA Drink Of The Week No SA Drink Of The Week this week. 00:03:50 Daniel Clarke Daniel Clarke first came to Kangaroo Island as a boy on family summer holidays at American River. He returned years later with his partner, who had never visited before. She fell for it straight away, and with two young children they decided it was the place to raise a family. He expected freelance work to be scarce. Instead, he says the island has given him the best stories of his career, one after another. His path into journalism started with storm-chasing videos and the Clarke and Dawe segments on the 7.30 Report. He missed out on the university course and got a cadetship at The Advertiser, starting as a messenger. He describes that job, fondly, as the lowest rung in the building: making coffee, handing out faxes, collecting an editor’s dry cleaning, and once buying a cabbage for an editor. On night shifts, the sub-editors began testing him with headline suggestions. He still remembers seeing his “human shields” line in print the next morning, from a story that tied John Howard to the Iraq War protesters. Steve compares Dan to A.W. Merrick in Deadwood, the newspaperman who hauls a printing press into a gold-rush camp and learns the local power brokers push back. Dan knows the comparison well. He has lost friendships over his stories and still sees those people in the checkout line. But he insists he isn’t looking for conflict. His aim is simple: to make the island “a better place and an easier place for people to live.” Then we come to satire. After one reader called his posts “misinformation dressed up as satire,” Dan posted a reminder about what satire is for, with a photo of Valerie, the famous missing sausage dog from his Australian Story documentary. His census parody neatly sums up island debate: islanders want visitors, but not too many visitors, and want cheaper ferries, but not so cheap that more visitors come. He says the piece simply repeats what he hears every day. Another post, about a large branch hanging over a bridge at Cygnet River, shows how absurd the jurisdiction problem can be: the tree stands on council land and the branch hangs over a state government road, so a year later it is still there. Dan argues that satire is “almost the softest way of getting a message across,” and that governments dislike embarrassment enough to act on it. The SeaLink saga is the story Dan would most like to stop writing. The new ferries are more than two years late. The contract, signed under a Liberal government, apparently doesn’t even allow a fine. Almost 30-year-old vessels carry around a quarter of a million sheep off the island each year, and a planned three-day shutdown for ramp works lands in the middle of the sheep-moving season. Earlier cancellations have already cost small tourism businesses thousands of dollars. Steve ...
