Amy RemeikisAmy is the Fairfax Digital Queensland political editor and a state political reporter.
“I write mainly for Brisbane Times and also The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. I have a small team that works under me and between us we basically cover all things politics, be it local council, state – which is what I primarily do – and federal politics, when Queensland politicians go a bit crazy, which, as it’s Queensland, happens every single week. So, basically, my job is to cover the spectrum of politics as quickly as possible. I do analysis, I do live blogs, I do articles, I do tweets, I do periscope – and do all of it, and often from the same story.” |
