Or One Nation/UAP voters depending on who you see.
I agree the news channel could really do with some better resourcing to allow for bulletins which vary a little more between each hour, and some more anchor programmes with good analysis etc.

I think that’s kind of the fashion atm… the BBC News channel is similar. Far fewer reports, far too much ‘analysis’ (which isn’t really analysis, but a junior reporter pointing at a screen in the newsroom), and really long, meandering interviews repeated every hour. Like anything it’s obviously being done to save money… but it just makes for such a mediocre product.

Why do they use this over the normal desk?
Kathryn is a great anchor. I think she is better suited to the live rolling news stuff vs breakfast fluffier stuff

I completely agree that Kathryn is a great anchor, although she is also more than brilliant at the “fluffier stuff” as well. Quite simply, she has the confidence and experience to perform any of the serious ABC roles with aplomb. Her chief attributes being her vibrant personality and an unfazed naturalness.
Kath is the consummate team player, who can (and has had to)work with a variety of co-presenters, who clearly love working with her. Always well-prepared, Kath is at her best when conducting open-ended interviews.
For the last five weeks (since being “removed” from Weekend Breakfast, Kath and Ros Childs have virtually taken over the daytime News Channel (9am-4pm) … for mine, the ABC’s two strongest female News presenters at work!

Get him a riser or something maybe so it’s not so obvious how low he sits (I know why obviously but you’ve got to use the set to it’s fullest no?)
Could put him in front of the big screen

What the hell is going on at ABC News?
Let’s move our nightly flagship presenter to fill in on the day time bulletin and replace him at night.
That’s just insane thinking.
