I’ve seen Barrie go pretty hard at both sides. Not exactly sure what you’re talking about.
Looks like a camera op collapsed on set this morning towards the end of the interview with Bill Shorten. Barrie sounding quite shaken at the moment
“He’s doing well. He’ll be fine” according to Barrie at the end of the show.
Video here:
Barry Cassidy received a lifetime achievement award at the Quills tonight but made the ‘bombshell announcement’ that he will step down from the Insiders in June.
That’s a big surprise. I guess Barry wants to cover two more elections (NSW and Federal) before leaving the show.
After 18 years as host Barrie’s final show will be on 9 June, he is staying with the ABC.
His Friday editorials are quite popular, I expect he’ll continue to do those.
And who on earth could possibly replace him? Patricia Karvelas perhaps?
Fran Kelly or Virginia would be my guess.
Sad to see him go!
