The Klaxon is an independent Australian news website, run by investigative journalist Anthony Klan.
[14][15] Anthony Klan was formerly an investigative and business journalist at The Australian for 15 years, but he quit in 2019[16][17] after the paper had refused to publish two of his investigations: one into the superannuation system, and another was about interference by the Chinese Communist Party in Australia, which implicated former prime minister Scott Morrison and current leader of the Liberal Party of Australia, Peter Dutton.
[14] He later opined that he had concluded that News Corp was "incredibly in the pocket of the lobbyists of the minerals, the mining, the gas and of the big banks".
[14] In 2021 Klan participated in an enquiry into media diversity by the Senate Environment and Communications References Committee, which published its report on 9 December 2021.
[18][19] In November 2021 Klan nominated for the position of national president of the Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance.
