In 1989, Devine joined The Daily Telegraph as assistant editor, police reporter, and columnist after returning to Australia to live in Sydney.

In 2002, Devine opined in the Sydney Morning Herald that the racial element of the Sydney gang rapes had been "airbrushed" out of the media coverage of the events. She stated that the victims alleged that prosecutors had intentionally "censored" their official statements to remove any mention of racially sensitive material.{{cite news| author-link = Miranda Devine| first = Miranda| last = Devine| title = Racist rapes: Finally the truth comes out| newspaper = The Sydney Morning Herald| date = 13 July 2002| url = http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/07/13/1026185124700.html| access-date = 30 July 2006| archive-date = 21 June 2018| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180621221256/https://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/07/13/1026185124700.html| url-status = live}} Devine has also been accused by The Guardian and The Sydney Morning Herald of promoting the white genocide conspiracy theory and has been described as pivotal in popularising the concept within Australian politics.White genocide:

In her comments in The Daily Telegraph on the breach of duty of care lawsuit brought by 14-year-old gay student Christopher Tsakalos against the New South Wales Education Department in 1997, Devine poured cold water on the possibility of ever protecting LGBT+ students from discrimination and assault, asserting that to do so, "you would have to make mincing homosexuality the norm in schools." Devine also accused the Gay and Lesbian Teachers and Students Association of coaching Tsakalos’ camp performance for financial reward, and to make him into "an international poster boy for the homosexual movement",Rasmussen, M.
