Tory Shepherd has covered the terms of four Prime Ministers, which makes her sound like a veteran. But these are crazy, backstabby times, and she's only been The Advertiser's political editor for three years. When not covering coups, she's on Insiders, The Chaser's Media Circus, Mornings and PM Live. Before politics, she covered a range of far less Machiavellian rounds for the newspaper. Her pet hate is when politics interferes with giving WOMADelaide her full attention.
