Scott Balson is a Brisbane-based innovator who is not scared of controversy. In 1990 he established the first computer-based marketing business in Australia. In 1995 he established Australia's first online daily newspaper which is now stored for perpetuity through the National Library of Australia's online Pandora archives. In 1999 he self-published the book "Murder by Media" which exposed the vagaries of the mainstream media in Australia. The mainstream media are scared of him, he has taken on the Titans of that industry and won time and time again. His ongoing search for justice has brought him many unusual bedfellows, people who have faced injustice through the "system". His eight published books have covered a range of topics from exposing the failings of the mainstream media, his politicised arrest in 1999 to the re-writing of the early history of South Africa. (Scott went to South Africa in October last year to launch this book "Children of the Mist, the lost tribe of South Africa"). His unique collection of coins, books, old maps and documents reflect a childhood interest in collecting spawned by numismatics. His online businesses today helping indigenous people reflect his philanthropic philosophy.

Real People will launch soon with the documentary "Enemy of the smart state", a film which looks at the compromised state of government and media in Queensland. The film is based on Scott Balson's book of the same name.

The documentary sets the theme for a series of interviews in which people from all walks of life discuss their extraordinary stories.
