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€¦

Didnā€™t 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 wasnā€™t live based on screenshots including the panelā€™s 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?)

Heā€™s probably on holidays. If he had resigned he would mention it on air. But if heā€™d been sacked thereā€™d be articles online. I feel like heā€™s been off more than Tamara has this year.

Itā€™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? Hasnā€™t it just been Christmas Day which has been national previously?

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