Andrew John Clyde Landeryou (born 1970)[1] is an Australian blogger and businessman. In recent years, he has attracted attention through his website "The Other Cheek: Andrew Landeryou's Blog of Freedom" and Vexnews.[2][3]
Background
Landeryou is the son of Bill Landeryou,[2] 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.[4]
Student politics and business
Landeryou was elected as President of Melbourne University Student Union, taking office in January 1991.[5] A referendum of union members removed him after five months when he proposed commercialising the union's services.[6][1] He worked with Solomon Lew on an online gaming and statistics company, IQ Corp, which went into liquidation in 2005.[1] Also implicated in the financial collapse of MUSU in 2003 with his companies Optima[7][8] and Marbain,[9] he left Australia for Costa Rica for five months the day before he was due to testify to the Victorian Supreme Court.[2][1] On his return to Australia he said he had been unaware of the court summons. He was arrested and detained in custody,[10] appearing in court in May 2005.[8][11][12] Landeryou was declared bankrupt by the Federal Magistrates Court in May 2006.[13] His wife, former Melbourne deputy lord mayor Kimberley Kitching, declared bankruptcy while he was in Costa Rica, and they separated.[2]
Blogging
"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."
ABC News[14]
In 2005, Landeryou established a weblog commenting on Australian party politics called The Other Cheek - Andrew Landeryou's Blog of Freedom. According to ABC News it is a "gleefully-muckraking, tabloid-style blog",[14] for which he has been described as "notorious".[15] His blog focusses on internal gossip rather than political analysis.[16] Lucy Saunders 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."[17] He also publishes the blog Vexnews.[18]
Landeryou regularly accuses the Melbourne newspaper The Age of politically-motivated left-wing bias, including against himself.[19] He clashed with another political blogger, Stephen Mayne, in 2006 when they accused each other of being spivs.[20] Landeryou was the subject of a court intervention order in 2008 after he published photographs and details of the house of a youth worker on his blog.[21][22]
