So by the time Lisa comes back, her and Michael will not have been on-air together for 6 weeks? That’s a long time to have your main hosts separated.

This is just how Breakfast does it, every shcmo gets a go.
ABC Melbourne doesn’t give a rats about consistency. You just have to look at the presenters thread for the 7pm news every night. It’s like 3 different people a week.
I prefer it to their absence overlapping. Particularly with Madeleine off, none of the fill-ins are really strong enough to carry the show. Maybe Isk.
On Friday, Lisa said, “With Michael back, I’m going to take my break.” So, I think they are more conscious of it than they used to be.

Not too sure about the woman co-hosting with Michael this morning (I don’t know her name as I don’t usually watch News Breakfast). She has an incredibly intense presenting style.
It would’ve been Catherine Murphy I believe.
Next week -
Nour Haydar presenting with Michael. Nadia Daly on finance.

Would love someone to do a count of how many days a year this show has its full regular cast.

The Project is becoming News Breakfast these days.
10 has usually leaned on ABC presenters unlike its commercial counterparts, it’s nice to see them given opportunities to work across different day parts, shows and on other networks.
Georgie is no longer with ABC and presents news updates for Flash News. Tony Armstrong is a regular guest presenter on the desk and a great addition, Nate appears from time to time.
An ABC alum interviewing current ABC talent, pretty cool.
A bit odd to have Michael hosting from what looked to be the lobby at Ultimo. Give him a sleep-in or find him a Sydney co-host I say.
