For the past three years, as North America correspondent Farrah Tomazin has had a front-row seat to the biggest story in the world – the political comeback of US President Donald Trump. Farrah, or more endearingly known as ‘Faz’ around the newsroom, writes that America is a country of frustrating contradictions, where abortions are banned more willingly than assault weapons.

Today, the outgoing reporter reflects on the major stories she’s covered during a whopping 25 years at our papers, and why she’s choosing to stay in a country she once described as a ‘dystopian tinderbox ready to explode’.
