We arenât talking about an in-depth political analysis here. Itâs a chat over a cup of tea and an opportunity for ScoMo to speak directly to ordinary middle class Australians at home to address questions and concerns that the events of the last 2 weeks have brought up.

Ahh yes, extremely easy to pick which side of politics Taylor Auerbach leans towards! 
I can just imagine some of the hard hitting questions that are likely to be askedâŚ
âMr Morrison, do you think the Sharks will win the Grand Final?â
I am going to watch it because iâm a political junkie but hope Tracy proves us wrong and gives him the Leigh Sales treatment. I doubt it though.
Watching it with the sound down. Typical ACA stuff, chasing someone across a front yard after they slip out of a caravan. Rubbish.

Good interview. Good mix of soft and hard questions from climate change to if the new first lady is glad her hubby got the top job. Obviously not 7.30 but thatâs not why the audience tunes in.
Sheâs not called a âfirst ladyâ in Australia.

Tracy Grimshaw referred to her as such. Take it up with her or ACMA if youâre so concerned about it.

No warpath. Just sounds like yet another Americanism that is creeping in that has never been part of Australian culture. I have never hear anyone refer to the Prime Ministerâs wife in Australia as the First Lady.

Should I now start referring to her as the PMâs missus or love of his life?

I hear it all the time in the media - very common. Gillardâs partner was always referred to as the âfirst blokeâ,

How about Jenny.
Not âJenny from the Shireâ as Tracey refereed to her? People really have too much time on their hands if this is the sort of stuff they worry about. Donât sweat it!

yeah you got a really good point, I hate it too - hence why I smash down tins daily. gotta keep the Aus culture alive!
the term Iâve heard is Spouse of the Prime Minister of Australia. is neutral for gays and women (as opposed to First Lady/First Gentleman).
back on topic - caught a bit of the show last night and was thoroughly impressed about the interview. this shit is what ACA needs to get back to
If weâre using the American âFirst Lady/Gentlemanâ for the spouse of the PM, can we start calling the PM âMister/Missus Prime Ministerâ?

ACA TRACKS DOWN SCHOOL GIRL SEDUCED BY CHRIS DAWSON
Tonight at 7.00pm
As Australia continues to be gripped by the mysterious disappearance of Lyn Dawson, A Current Affair tonight tracks down the schoolgirl seduced by Lynâs husband, Chris.
Renewed interest in the 36-year-old case is due to an extraordinary podcast called The Teacherâs Pet which has been downloaded more than 17 million times, making it one of the most popular true-crime podcasts ever produced in the world.
In January 1982, 33-year-old mother of two, Lyn, vanished from the family home on Sydneyâs northern beaches.
Two days after her disappearance Chris Dawson moved his 16-year-old school girl lover, Joanne Curtis, into the family home and into their bed. Lyn Dawson has never been heard from since.
Two coronial inquests have found Lyn was killed by a known person, her husband Chris, but no charges have ever been laid against him
Tonight on A Current Affair we track down the schoolgirl seduced by Chris Dawson. We ask Joanne Curtis , who continues to live on Sydneyâs Northern Beaches, what she knows about Lynâs disappearance and how she feels about the man who turned her life upside down.
And for the first time, we also hear from other former Cromer High students including a friend of Joanneâs, Michelle Walsh, who believes she too was being groomed by Chris Dawson.

Leila McKinnon is hosting tonight.
