On the Insiders episode broadcast on 31 of August the panel discussed Independent MP Bob Katter’s threatening behaviour towards Nine journalist Josh Bavas at a press conference in Brisbane. During the discussion news.com.au journalist Samantha Maiden said the two had a conversation before the press conference about what was going to be asked and suggested Mr Bavas was warned not to ask about Mr Katter’s Lebanese heritage.
The ABC wishes to clarify that no conversation took place. Insiders apologises for the error. The comment has been removed from the on-demand versions of the program.

Just saying, imagine if any of our networks got anything even remotely close to this beauty 
Take notes ABC. That looks outstanding. Better than the BBC News graphics on that space as well.
To be fair, the ABC’s Parramatta set is on par with (and in some aspects, is better than) the BBC’s Six and Ten O’Clock News studio.
Agreed. But Insiders itself comes from Canberra 
This set-up looks better than the current couch set-up.
Hopefully the ABC will take some cues when/if they get a new set for the Canberra studios
I wonder if they could revamp the set at Parliament House, though space there has always been tight
