Yes she is. Meredith Sheehan appears to have taken over Gemma’s previous Sunday night shift.
Also checked the guide on the ABC website, and it says that Dan Bourchier is on Weekend Breakfast this weekend.

Why do they always roll out Patricia for these events? She’s beyond terrible.

Speers could run this solo no real need for two of them.

They’re a great combo. I’m tipping this will be the co hosting duo for the next Federal Election.
Or dear, bad time to get a message from the producer.
PK: “speaking of lumpy…… we’re now going to hear from Jane Hume”
Would rather they continue the tradition of 7.30 hosts presenting the coverage and have Sarah Ferguson do it, either solo or along David Speers.
Coverage is decent from what I’ve seen tonight. A number of times the Liberal MPs who were interviewed ignored the hosts, although they put it down to the noise in the room.
good one.
She’s more Liberal than Peter Dutton. Almost talking on behalf of the liberals like Credlin does on Sky.

David and Patricia at two of Australia’s most accomplished political anchors. Makes sense to have co hosts in my view.

ABC News channel should also have schedule coverage of the Queensland local council elections. +5 million voting with the BCC council double the population of Tasmania. If they can do dedicated coverage for a by-election recently.
