We want YOUR gossip!

Crikey has always been in the business of tip-offs, from salacious snippets to serious snipes. Ever since the publication’s founder Stephen Mayne started Crikey out of his bedroom more than two decades ago, we’ve been a home to important leaks, whether from a serving politician or something overheard down the pub by one of our readers.

I’ve long been of the view that the role of Tips and Murmurs editor, which I took up mid-2020, might just be the best gig at Crikey.

It is a place for small things that point to bigger things, from covering the figures and motivations behind the scenes of big stories or political moves, to providing a corrective to lazy political rhetoric, illustrating hypocrisy or falsehoods from the people who control the conversation in Australia, or just good old fashioned gossip.
