Laura Tingle is an Australian journalist and author, who is currently the political editor for The Australian Financial Review.
Tingle was born in Sydney, the daughter of Pam Chivers (source dedication in Chasing the Future) and youngest daughter of journalist John Tingle who founded the Shooters Party in 1992 and was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Council in 1995. She was educated at the Australian International Independent School.
Tingle began her career in Sydney as a cadet journalist with Fairfax Media's Australian Financial Review and Business Review Weekly in the early 1980s, reporting on financial deregulation and the floating of the dollar. In 1987, she moved to News Limited's The Australian newspaper, as an economics correspondent, then as chief political correspondent in 1992, and national affairs correspondent from 1994. In 1996, she returned to Fairfax as a political correspondent for The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald. In 2002, she transferred to The Australian Financial Review as political correspondent, chief political correspondent and Canberra bureau chief from 2003, then political editor in 2008.
Tingle's book, Chasing the Future: Recession, Recovery and the New Politics in Australia—documenting the recession of the early 1990s—was published in 1994. She has written two issues of Quarterly Essay: "Great Expectations – government, entitlement and an angry nation" in June 2012, and "Political Amnesia – how we forgot to govern" in November 2015.
Tingle won Walkley awards in 2005 and 2011. She also won the Paul Lyneham Award for Press Gallery Journalism in 2004, and was shortlisted for the John Button Prize for political writing in 2010. She makes regular appearances on Radio National's Late Night Live and Insiders on ABC TV.
