"
Guardian Australia’s Matilda Boseley’s political explainer series
Parliament-Tea was recognised at the 2026 Walkley mid-year media prizes,
winning the young journalist award for innovative storytelling.
The high-profile, multiplatform political explainer series, in which Boseley
explained machinations in Australian parliament over a cup of tea, engaged a
younger generation in national policy debate. The category recognises
journalism that breaks standard structural moulds to reach and inform audiences
through dynamic digital platforms and creative production formats.
Boseley was recognised for her fast-paced commentary, clear graphic breakdowns
and accessible short-form video storytelling, stripping complex federal
legislation, budget measures and shifting party dynamics into engaging visual
journalism.
The
Sydney Morning Herald’s Riley Walter took home the top accolade of the
night, named the John B Fairfax family young Australian journalist of the year.
Walter also won the short-form journalism and specialist and beat reporting
categories for his series of investigations, including a staff ring that
allegedly defrauded the NAB of $150m."
