7.30

Changed from blue a few months ago, I think the panels were altered a bit too. Much brighter and fresher.

I prefer the square desk to the old round one they shared with Lateline.

Fairfax journalist demonstrating how little he knows about the subject matter. “Five nights a week”…

Trioli absolutely savaged Leyonhelm. Amazing.

Incredible interview.

7.30 seemed very punchy tonight with three interviews and then one lighter story after - perhaps worth exploring as an occasional format change. The days of three or four packaged stories only are surely over.

I’ve never watched 7:30 before, but I like Virginia in this format much more than I do on News Breakfast and thought she did a great job overall.

This is how interviews should be done. When the interviewee indulges in answer evasion, interviewer needs to keep pursing. Trioli did this perfectly. Steve Austin does similar on ABC Brisbane.

A while ago now, but Emma was a regular fill-in for Kerry O’Brien for 7.30 Report before she was Europe correspondent.

They should have a Melbourne Set (as a back up) for Virginia and others to present from. The show could still be controlled from Sydney.
