Saturday, 30th August, 2025: Leo Puglisi, Founder, 6 News Australia; Founding 6 News Australia and Under 16’s Social Media Ban.

John and Nevena talk to Leo Puglisi about the Upcoming Under 16s Social Media ban

Puglisi began his media career in 2019, founding what was then initially known as HMV Local News but rebranded in 2020 as 6 News. Puglisi first came to attention in 2020 when he covered the secretive demolition of a bell tower at Hawthorn West Primary School in Hawthorn, Victoria

He has been the subject of a number of conspiracy theories, including that he was a “front” for the Morrison Government and that he was being funded by Rupert Murdoch. In 2025, Puglisi was nominated Victoria Young Australian of the Year.
