Harvey Weinstein, dual citizenship and the royal wedding: Newspaper and magazine editors look back on the year

Paul Whittaker, editor-in-chief, The Australian

What was your best story of the year and/or your most impactful?

I think our best story of the year has been our numerous exclusives on the widening citizenship scandal in Canberra, where our in-depth coverage led the rest of the nation on an issue that has paralysed the parliament. We broke the story on Senate President Stephen Parry’s dual citizenship that forced his resignation, and revealed the definitive story that now ex Tasmanian independent senator Jacqui Lambie was a probable dual citizen through her Scottish father.
