---|---|
Occupation | Journalist, businessman |
Genre | Politics |
Andrew John Clyde Landeryou (born 1970)[1] is an Australian journalist,[2] political blogger,[3][4][5] and businessman. In recent years, he has attracted attention initially through his blog "The Other Cheek: Andrew Landeryou's Blog of Freedom" and more recently VEXNEWS.[6][7]
Background
Landeryou is the son of Bill Landeryou,[6] a former Leader of the Opposition and then the Government in the Victorian Legislative Council and a minister in the Australian Labor Party Victorian state government of John Cain. Andrew Landeryou has been active in the past in the Labor Party, and particularly the Labor Right faction.[8] Subsequently he has been described as a "Liberal blogger."[9]
Landeryou was President of Melbourne University Student Union from January to May 1991,[10] when a student referendum removed him for proposing to commercialise student union services.[1] He was managing director of IQ Corporation, a sports statistics company, which was invested in by Solomon Lew until it went into liquidation in 2003.[11][12][13] He was also a co-owner of Marbain, a company with a contract with MUSU.[14] Landeryou spent five months in Costa Rica from December 2004,[6][1] on business relating to online gaming.[14] On returning to Australia in May 2005 he was required to attend a liquidator's examination of the affairs of MUSU.[15][16][17][18] Landeryou was declared bankrupt by the Federal Magistrates Court in May 2006.[19]
Journalism
"Landeryou has some purchase in the mainstream media with a News Limited column, but essentially he's working in the blogging space, using his political, business and media contacts to embarrass, harass and hold to account the state's worthies and not-so-worthies, and his own enemies, through open publishing.
Whatever you think of his politics, Landeryou is a lively and engaging writer who find things out - one whose "inquisitive" approach allows him to uncover and share new information."
Jason Wilson, ABC News, 2008[5]
In 2005, Landeryou established a weblog commenting on Australian party politics called The Other Cheek - Andrew Landeryou's Blog of Freedom. According to ninemsn, it is a "popular" website and to ABC News it is a "gleefully-muckraking, tabloid-style blog",[5] for which he has been described as "notorious".[20] His blog focusses on internal gossip rather than political analysis.[21] He also publishes VEXNEWS.[22] Lucy Saunders, a political activist linked to the Socialist Left who had been criticised on VEXNEWS, wrote on ABC News Online that "The overwhelming majority of what Landeryou prints is vague rumour, personal vendettas and outright fiction. Very occasionally, though, some actual facts sneak through."[23] Andrew Bolt from the Herald-Sun refers to Landeryou as "always entertaining"[24] and "scandalous, sometimes cruel but often compelling."[25]
Landeryou regularly accuses the Melbourne newspaper The Age of politically-motivated left-wing bias, including against himself.[26] He clashed with another political blogger, Stephen Mayne, in 2006 when they accused each other of being spivs.[27] Independent political candidate Les Twentyman applied for a court intervention order in 2008 after VEXNEWS published a series of stories on him suggesting that he was wealthier than was public knowledge, including publishing photographs of his house.[4][28] Twentyman later withdrew the application.[29]
In 2008 Landeryou revealed that the authors of an anti-Ted Baillieu website were employees of Baillieu's own party,[30] and Landeryou was the first to report a story about Australian politicians sanitising their Wikipedia articles.[3] In 2009, VEXNEWS was the first to report allegations that Brendan Fevola harassed a female reporter at the 2009 Brownlow Medal count.[31]
