And what a crock of shit the announcement was.
Thanking everyone, the audience and team members etc. Making it sound permanent when he is back in 6 weeks.
Why do that?

Annual leave or Long Service, give us the facts MR not the cryptic bullshit. It’s like he was wanting to fuel the fire.

News Breakfast started to phase out News Corp and Nine journalists for the daily paper review segment over a year ago now. With the ABC’s criticism of their coverage on matters concerning the network, I think they don’t use any of those journalists now. Instead, they have been opting for community leaders in a range of fields.
One recent addition to the rotation is infectious diseases expert Sanjaya Senanayake. He was on today. Every time, he looks uncomfortable expressing his opinion on matters not concerning health matters. Quite a few times he has said, “I’m not an expert on this…” or he tries to skew the story to a health context. I don’t know- not having journalists on has turned this more into a hot topics segment than a paper ‘review’ segment. Perhaps they should just drop the segment entirely?

What is this segment? 
Is something going on with the Sydney news channel studio?
There was a catastrophic failure on Friday during the midday news that put the whole network off the air - ABC main channel and ABC News. Seems to be ongoing issues since then. Assume they are related.

NSW also had a hybrid ACT bulletin last night.

Did they acknowledge the tech issues?
Considering the number of times she’s filled in recently, think it might not be a question of if but when Emma Rebellato joins News Breakfast in some capacity.

They should “get over” trashy magazines putting out misinformation?

Michael started it by giving his ridiculous thank you and good bye speech.
