@NewtonMark @treleanor Fundamentally, I think the very idea of a dedicated "political reporter" is the wrong way to cover politics.
Take the worst article that Giles Parkinson from Renew Economy has written about energy, climate, or renewables policy in the past two years.
Now compare it to the best article that any ABC or NineFax Canberra Press Gallery stenographer has put out over the same period.
I know which article is better.
If the Canberra Press Gallery were abolished tomorrow, and replaced with a series of Giles Parkinsons covering health, education, defence, etc. policy as part of their beat, would be any less well informed?
