For a two-week period in May/June 2018, Adam live blogged the hearings of the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry that focused specifically on SME lending, to keep readers aware in real-time of matters covered and allegations raised during the hearings, and provide context on their significance for small and medium business owners. This was in addition to his regular duties as My Business editor.

The blog – which translated often complex technical matters into plain English – attracted thousands of followers each day it was live, was used as the basis for multiple news stories, and delivered the publication its highest ever monthly readership at that time.
