It coincided with the publication of Nation Review (1970 to 1981) similarly a weekly newspaper. [3]

The paper quickly developed a reputation for accurate investigative journalism, winning four consecutive Walkley Awards for best newspaper feature in 1975, 1976, 1977 and 1978.[4][5][6]

In the 1980s, it "exposed networks of influence and links between organised crime and public administration in New South Wales".[7][8]
