A shame all these reporters have been let go.
I wonder if the same has happened to Paul Taylor?

My preference for Sydneyâs Friday/Saturday night weather would probably be Sophie Walsh when she returns home (and of course, has finished isolation and the rest).
Sunday-Thursday still needs a meteorologist, especially with Nine (with the reshuffles at Ten expected to result in a single national meteorologist presenting their forecasts - including Sydney market ones) soon to be Sydneyâs only meteorologist-free weather - not a position youâd want to brag about.

Considering that sheâs been in that role for almost 10 years and Nine News Sydney pretty much always wins the ratings, is there really any point in getting rid of Amber?
Perhaps the viewers actually like that she is a presenter and not a meteorologist�

Tim Bailey is a Sydney institution, give him a go. The current weather reports are rather forgettable.

Thatâs a really good point! It feels like those who complain about Amber are under the impression that she has been doing this for a couple of weeks - she has more than a decade of experience under her belt. Time to move on IMOâŚ

And Amber is a good presenter.
It would be much better to have someone with good presenting skills that can explain the weather in laymanâs terms than a meteorologist that isnât a good presenter and gets too technical and opinionated.
NBN used to have a meteorologist who thought he knew the weather better than the BoM and would contradict their forecasts, leaving people like me confused.

Rob Readings- former GC presenter when did he retire?

I think he was last on-air in 2010?

Great list, though I donât think itâs overly unusual.
With Brisbane being a medium sized capital city, there are staff who will always want to move on to bigger things in and outside the network, and with an ageing population, we will see more retirements.
