How Crux Publishes Lies — And Gets Away With It (Defending Myself)

In this video, I respond to a false article published by Crux and written by Peter Newport, which claimed that supporters of the proposed Bendigo Gold Project were promoting “death and bomb threats.” I was personally targeted in the article because of my posts in the Santana Mine Supporters Facebook group. In this video, I show the original posts, break down the timeline of events, and explain why the smear was reported. This video is not about attacking journalists — it’s about accuracy, accountability, and showing the full story behind the Santana Mine debate in Central Otago. Topics covered in this video: * The Santana Mine Supporters group * The Crux article by Peter Newport and its false claims * The wider controversy over the Bendigo Gold Mine project * How flase media coverage can shape public perception If you’re interested in the Bendigo Gold Project, Central Otago mining debates, or media accountability, this video breaks down the full timeline with evidence and explains the context behind the story.
