The discussion on housing featured a lot of raised voices and talking over each other. At one point Sarah tries to control the situation “We’re not at the pub.”

Monday 5 May - 1 hour episode

Sarah Ferguson presents a special one hour edition of 7.30 after the election, with all the washup and detailed analysis from Laura Tingle and the ABC team

1005

Last campaign Leigh interviewed the then PM on the Monday and Opposition Leader (Albo) was on the Friday Election eve.

I’d say we won’t get both until later this week.

Albo is on the show tonight.

1007

I think Dutton might avoid 730 this week.

1008

Well given he’s called the ABC “hate media”, I doubt he will be on their anytime soon

1009

He participated in a debate on the ABC so it’s not entirely out of the realm is it?

He’ll change his mind soon… he seems to be good at that.

I’m never convinced that attacking the ABC wins many votes.

1011

Tonight’s show has been pushed back to 40mins.

I wonder if they managed to get a Dutton interview, or PM also?

1012

They didn’t get either man.

The five stories from tonight’s episode have been uploaded to the show’s website. They include the highs and lows of the five-week long campaign, Antony Green’s final predictions, and the history of the democratic sausage.

1013

That’s the first time in a very long time, if ever, that one side has not appeared on the show in the final week, let alone the whole campaign.

I think it’s clear, out of pure spite, that Dutton would swing the axe to the ABCs budget if he had the opportunity. Without a doubt.

1014

It’s not a question of if, but when will he make cuts if the get’s into power - though I doubt he will get the opportunity. It’s likely the Coalition won’t win tomorrow and if they do, there’s still a risk that Dickson could shift to Labor and he would be out, though that won’t stop another Coalition frontbencher from making cuts.

Laura Tingle named ABC Global Affairs Editor

On tonight’s show, Sarah Ferguson speaks to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in a pre-recorded interview. It’s his first public interview since Labor’s election victory on the weekend.

1018

The Age and SMH report that Jacob Greber is the front-runner to replace Laura Tingle as the new political editor. Greber is currently the ABC’s chief digital political correspondent at Parliament House in Canberra and only joined the broadcaster last year.

The internal shortlist includes bureau chief David Lipson, Melissa Clarke and Insiders host David Speers.
