Andrew Rule
Andrew Rule is an Australian journalist who specialises in crime.
He started as a reporter for the Gippsland Times and subsequently worked for The Age and Herald Sun. In 2001, he won the Gold Walkley award for his story Geoff Clarke: Power and rape. With John Silvester, he wrote the Underbelly series of books about crime which were subsequently televised.
Rule wrote an authorised biography of Australian media proprietor and billionaire Kerry Stokes to counter bad press from an unauthorised work by Margaret Simons that included testimony from an abandoned family.
The Murders of Margaret and Seana Tapp was a cold case that Rule has worked to bring renewed attention to in articles for both The Age and Herald Sun.
