What a shame. It has been bliss to watch Ellen and Virginia host and conduct quality interviews. Stark contrast to Leigh.
Ellen Fanning is still hosting this week.
Leigh must be taking more leave with the recent death of her father.
Can Ellen stay indefinitely please? Loving her back on TV and hosting 730.
This interview sheâs doing with Hugh Marks (Nine CEO) is top notch.
Ellen mentioned tonight that Leigh is returning next week.
Ellen Fanning presenting tonight.
Interview tonight
Leigh is hosting special Friday edition on the Leadership Spill.
7.30: Leigh Sales interviews Emma Husar
Tuesday 28 August at 7.30pm
In her first television feature interview after announcing she wonât recontest the Federal seat of Lindsay, Labor MP Emma Husar tells 7.30âs Leigh Sales that âslut shamingâ forced her decision to quit politics.
In her first substantial public response to the allegations that have been made against her in media reports over recent weeks and subject to an internal Labor party review, Husar talks about what she described as a âmaliciousâ smear campaign against her and responds to various allegations that have been made against her.
Husar slams what she describes as a toxic political culture in which she says slut shaming is used against young, single women, âalmost as a method of tortureâ, and discusses what her next steps will be.
Laura Tingle filling in for Leigh Sales tonight.
Are my eyes deceiving me? Is 7.30 actually in HD tonight??
Graphics look great in HD. Much more clearer!
Just accentuates how terrible the lighting is even more.
At least itâs a sign that ABC News & Current Affairs (I know, most if not all of the Monday night public affairs programs have probably been HD for a year or so but stillâŚ) is slowly progressing into the HD era.
Personally I hope HD upgrades for the main Sydney & Melbourne news studios wonât be too far away since a decent amount of national news bulletins/programs come out of those along with the 7pm news bulletins for their respective states IIRC.
7.30 Exclusive: Leigh Sales interviews Catherine Marriott
Tuesday 18 September
Catherine Marriott, the WA businesswoman who alleges Barnaby Joyce sexually harassed her, has spoken for the first time, telling 7.30âs Leigh Sales she hopes her experience will improve the way all Australian political parties deal with sexual harassment allegations.
In February this year, Marriott submitted a confidential complaint to the NSW Nationals Party, that was subsequently leaked to the media. Barnaby Joyce has strenuously denied the allegations. In her first interview about the scandal, Marriott says âthe control that I had over my own identity was taken away,â when her name was made public.
Marriott speaks of the devastating impact of the public scandal, and reveals what made her decide to fight back.
