Rebecca Maddern still presenting solo in Melbourne, with Laura Spurway on sport.
Mr Lord Mayor Basil presented sport tonight in Perth.
Next week will he get another 3 years as the Lord Mayor of Perth.
Lord Mayor terms are 4 years. Basil is only serving 3 years as the City of Perth Council was suspended, and as he only won the last election by 284 votes, there’s no guarantee he will win.
Courier Mail ran a story on the engagement.
The Guardian made a comment on the coverage
The Courier Mail has devoted 1,300 words to a wedding proposal received by Seven’s Brisbane newsreader Katrina Blowers in the Maldives.
Just like the proposal, the story is epic. It describes in minute detail how the proposal was planned and executed, right down to staff at the resort who were recruited to peel thousands of rose petals off individually to be laid out in a swimming pool.
The lucky man was Surfing Queensland’s chief executive and former pro surfer, Adam Yates.
There is no mention in the report that the proposal took place eight weeks ago, as revealed on Blowers’ Instagram posts, from where the multiple pictures were sourced. But with a story this big, it was worth the wait.

Mike Amor back presenting with Rebecca Maddern this weekend.
Mike’s been back all this past week.
He only appeared Tuesday & Wednesday at 4pm.
With Abbey Gelmi presenting weeknight sport in Melbourne for the last few weeks, I wonder if Tim Watson is now on holidays (considering the AFL season has finished), and possibly won’t be back until next year?
Tim Watson on extended holiday in Europe
Yeh. He mentioned on his radio show. Think he’s back in November. You’d imagine he has some long service leave. He’s been at 7 so long.

Bec was at the Cox Plate (I think??) according to her Insta
This may have been discussed ample times before… bit those jackets must be getting pretty old given they have the old ribbon logo on them.
wow… pre 2003.
In reality they don’t get out very often. You barely see them, so they are probably in good condition.
Today’s episode of the Hamish & Andy podcast featured a H&A-pun-filled weather report from the Seven News Brisbane team. Thoughts?
