I don’t even know how that works for the family considering both she and Ben Fordham have to be at work at sparrow’s fart and they have three young kids.
Tuesday (13.12.2022): Max Futcher is presenting the Brisbane bulletin live from Chinchilla, Qld with special coverage of the police shooting. Katrina Blowers is reading the rest of the day’s news from the studio. Pat Welsh back from leave and doing sport.
