What a shame. Bailey has fast become one of the better Nine News QLD reporters. He will be missed.

What’s the last thing she’s hosted on TV?
Also, Sydney news coming from somewhere else tonight?
Sydney News Opener (standing presentation) was pre-recorded. They switched back to live when they dipped on live pictures. Must’ve been so they can give enough time to get Deb off set.

Apart from that, I think the last major event she hosted was the coverage of the Bondi Stabbings.

So we assume Jess Dry will move back from Nine London or do the long distance relationship?

A couple more tidbits from the article
There are rumblings over at Nine News over the decision to poach a star reporter from a rival network. Some are calling it a coup, but not everyone is pleased.
Inside Mail can reveal the network is about to replace its long-serving Brisbane news anchor Andrew Lofthouse with a young journo from Seven whose latest dodgy dispatch on the benefits of ‘miracle water’ drew the ire of Media Watch.
In a move that has stunned the Mount Coot-tha newsroom, we hear Nine’s newly minted Queensland news boss Brendan Hocking has just made a ‘captain’s pick’ and appointed roving Seven reporter Joel Dry to the station’s top job.
‘Everyone is up in arms about it - there are so many good journos already working at Nine and we go and “poach” one that turned their back on us.’
We hear some Nine newsroom staffers believe experienced reporters Josh Bavas and Tim Davies were unfairly overlooked for the role.
