Parliament House
All those years the commercials did OBs out the front of Parliament House when the courtyard looks so much nicer.
Also, in terms of NB, I know Evan Lucas is a regular guest, but surely the ABC has a finance reporter that they could use throughout the morning?
Friday 22 May
James Glenday takes Emma Rebellato, Catherine Murphy and the team to his hometown Dubbo for the Dubbo Show, bringing you all the latest news, sport and special guests. Plus Lillian Rangiah has weather from Western Plains Zoo.

Was a very good broadcast, the parts of it I managed to see.
Lillian is very good, she should continue to get airtime when Nate returns. James and Emma were great as always.

Nate was back this morning.
Lillian did a great job in his absence and hopefully she will get to do something else with the team.

Great to finally see the weather graphic shown on the main channel. It’s usually absent leaving a blank space which looked off balance.

It’s just Fauziah hosting today btw.
Jo must have called in sick very last minute

And again today.
Can understand it being a last minute thing yesterday if that was the case, but a bit weird they couldn’t find anyone for today.

End of financial year and they’ve used up all their budget for fill-ins? 
Well given the ABC have apparently have exceeded their news budget by “millions of dollars”, that might actually be the case 
Jo is apparently unwell
Yeah, it was weird yesterday as they usually have a fill-in so I thought maybe a last minute thing but today Fauziah said again that Jo was still feeling “under the weather” so it’s been a bit strange having her being solo two days in a row when it’s very common for them to have a fill in.
