Said swearing at dominos with @AliceEThompson:

[Jack Slater @JackFSlater]

First30: Our attempt to spice up the picture offering for when Johnson faced questioning by the Parliamentary Committee of Privileges.

Producer @AliceEThompson and I spent hours in a smelly unused edit suite swearing at impertinent dominos for this.

Showing off the first 30 seconds of our news packages to demonstrate where much of my effort goes as a shoot/edit.
