Ian Henderson is still in Perth for this evening’s Victorian bulletin. Is he staying in WA for the whole week?
I’d say so due to the renovations happening in the studio.

I haven’t seen her present before.
Unusual for Juanita, Jeremy and Nicole to all be unavailable on a weeknight that isn’t in the holiday season.

She presented last Saturday, too. Usually on the news channel.
Glad they’ve gone for others over Nicole Chettle - never been a huge fan. She comes across a bit lightweight.

She just signed off with
“That is the show for tonight”.
I’ve NEVER heard a news bulletin called a “show” before

Newshub in New Zealand has a habit of calling their main bulletin a ‘show’.

Although it’s good that ABC News NSW uses presenters like Kristen Aiken & Nicole Chettle to fill-in for the relatively rare number of bulletins Juanita & Jeremy are available for, I personally think it’d be great if they allowed Chris Bath to have another fill-in presenting stint at some point in the future. The 7pm bulletins Bathie read in June/July 2017 proved that she definitely still has it as a newsreader! 
Mind you, it’s hardly worth commenting on that when Chris Bath will soon play a major part in ABC-TV’s coverage of the 2018 Sydney Invictus Games, something the Seven Network really should be thinking “What could have been?!” for more reasons than one IMO.

Gemma Veness also filled in a few times and was quite good too.

The PTC in the drone package by journo Alison Branley was in need of a lot of polish. She looked angry whilst squinting at the camera. Surely someone of experience could help her out, don’t tell me the cammo was new at it too?
Natalia Cooper used to do the same calling it a show back in the day when she presented Nine News Now… Also Amelia Adams did a little bit when returning to the role in 2014:

Quite a few retirements from ABC lately. First Peter Gee in Tasmania now Ian Henderson.
Any replacements guesses? Tamara Oudyn sounds like a shoe-in, although I would personally like to see Michael Rowland or Virginia Trioli succeed Ian.
