Salary is $79,208 - $100,428 p.a. + Generous Super (I guess the super must be very generous indeed, or the agenda items will all be related to politician's interest in Justin Beber, and the latest iphone app .)

1. Senior journalist with excellent writing skills. Broadcast experience preferred.
2. Demonstrated flair for political reporting and ability to break stories.
3. Able to analyse and give context to complex political issues.
