Abbey Gelmi is now on maternity leave for the second time. She was presented with flowers at the end of tonight’s bulletin.
Edit: Abbey posted the clip on her Instagram.
Much better presentation of the flowers than the infamous TJ incident 
Who’s going to take her role?
IMO I think it will be Theo Doropoulos - he’s been used a lot lately and I wouldn’t be surprised if it is him.
Most likely be him, or possibly Laura Spurway.
Kate Massey? Blake Johnson? Would they consider getting Michael or Jacqueline Felgate back?
Absolutely not. I’d imagine they will be using current staff
It’s only a maternity leave cover - doubt they would get either back for only a few months - Jacqui also has 3AW Drive Monday-Friday, so I doubt she would want to work seven days.
Let’s be honest, it’s a fairly minor weekend role, and going into summer with presenters taking leave, I doubt we’ll see a permanent replacement, it will probably just be whoever is available on the given night.
Is this satire?
Looks like Paul Kadak might be Ben Downie’s replacement in Canberra (or at least filling in the gap) - he did a report from Canberra this morning, and did a report on last night’s news as well about the HECS changes.
Jane Bunn will be live Flemington Racecourse for this week
For the full week?
Looks like there is some sort of set roster now for Perth’s morning news.
Monday and Tuesday: Tina Altieri
Wednesday and Thursday: Monique Dirksz
Friday: Tim McMillan
It’s Ben Cousin’s still presenting sport 3days a week on the Morning News
