Interesting (odd) programming choice today on the news channel. They cut away from the end of Paul Keating’s National Press Club address… to have Stan Grant summarise the session that hadn’t yet finished 
The Q&A with Paul Keating went for 1 hour and 18 minutes, according to the video uploaded to iView.

Patricia has been appointed presenter of RN Breakfast, so Afternoon Briefing may need a new host.
UPDATE: Patricia has confirmed on her Twitter that there will be a new host of Afternoon Briefing next year. Who do we think it could be?

That’s a shame she is a very good presenter on AB and holds many to account.
Matt Wordsworth hosted it the other month it was car crash TV.
Maybe David Speers?
Frankly, given the quality of the people who fill in for her ditching it has to be a reasonable option.

Most Likely Jane Norman.
Melbourne doing the midnight news bulletin in lieu of Perth taking over this week.
First the Fifth Ashes Test, now the Midnight ABC News Channel Bulletin. 
I would say Melb is doing all updates after midnight?
Perth taking over from next week, from 7pm Briana Shepherd or Michael Tetlow will anchor.
