ABC News Presenters and Reporters

He’s probably on holidays. If he had resigned he would mention it on air. But if he’d been sacked there’d be articles online. I feel like he’s been off more than Tamara has this year.

It’s a week before Christmas, who cares.

Think it was only about 12-15 minutes at the time.

Well he has been off since last month which is why the question is being asked.

More cost cutting? Hasn’t it just been Christmas Day which has been national previously?

Yes, it now seems to have extended over three days.

Perth getting a simulcast from News Channel on Christmas Eve, with a locally presented bulletin on Christmas Day and Boxing Day (also live on the News Channel) with Herlyn Kaur.

Possibly.

Roz could have just presented the National 7pm and stream it across both 24/20.

I mean Lydia and Roz are reading the same Autocue switching between both bulletins now, plus Roz is obviously the senior presenter. Saves two sets of crews and so forth. Anyway….

Absolutely bizarre. If they’re not doing local news and aren’t even hiding the 7pm is coming from Sydney, it might as well be the more polished NC bulletin with Ros.

Could they have wanted an Australian accent on the main channel?

No because that’s just discrimination. They obviously wanted to have two different versions which is odd, but who knows why to be honest.

Something for the peanut gallery, Tamara working between Christmas and new year.

Careful, it’s probably just her usual one night return then she’ll disappear again for another 10 years.
