Whatever happened to Paul Higgins in Melbourne? Apart from always being away every second week, this seems more consistent, been a few straight weeks nowā¦
Didnāt he have a public go at the ABC a month or so ago again?
Probably in the naughty corner.
Not aware re that.
Was probably on his last chance after the Covid breach.
Not so much had a go but made some tweets about how Q&A wasnāt live based on screenshots including the panelās watches. Interesting but possibly not a good career move in the way it could have been taken.
Well sounds like a multi month suspension then.
(By the way, how delayed was QandA?)
Heās probably on holidays. If he had resigned he would mention it on air. But if heād been sacked thereād be articles online. I feel like heās been off more than Tamara has this year.
Itās 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.

Friday 22 December and Saturday 23 December -
Bridget Rollason presenting in Victoria tonight.
Jessica van Vonderen is on holidays, her last bulletin was last night.
National presenters for Chritmas/Boxing Day:
Christmas Eve: Bridget Rollason
Christmas Day & Boxing Day: Lydia Feng
More cost cutting? Hasnāt 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.
Will this be the first time Bridget presenting a national bulletin?
Possibly.
