She doesn’t - what Jane did in Adelaide is she gave them enough time to do proper succession planning. Ann could’ve done the same, or she could just leave when her contract is finished - was only suggesting that Seven could maybe doing some succession planning.
(My original post this afternoon was deleted by mods after a complaint, so this is Cassie in her own words)
Cassie is only doing her job and doesn’t deserve the threats.
Nothing particularly unusual about that given that she normally does Fridays.
What IS unusual however is a) getting Karina to fill in Monday to Thursday when Sally could do it just as easily (given she’s already doing 4pm) and b) having her do so from Sydney when it’s possible to be read from Melbourne.
I guess Katrina or someone else would have to do Sydney afternoons on a few days each week since Sally also does Weekend Sunrise news duties (unless she is going to be working 7 days).
If they just flew Karina up for the morning news, then they may as well just rotate between Mike, Bec and Karina in Melbourne.

Mark Sodastrom is presenting sport on Adelaide’s 6pm news from the Adelaide Oval ahead of the Port Adelaide V Hawthorn Semi Final.
How long has Matt Carmichael been at ATN now, must be over 15 years, probably closer to 20
Saturday 14 September
Gertie Spurling filling in for Elspeth Hussey on the 5pm news in Adelaide.
Has Elspeth gone on maternity leave? I’d imagine Gertie will take on her role as Andrea Nicolas left the network
She has been filling in for Mike Smithson for the past two weeks.
Wasn’t going to be Andrea filling in for her anyway as she was the state political reporter, so either way it’s likely that Gertie will be doing Elspeth’s duties.
Ah ok! Not from Adelaide so unsure lol
Update - Elspeth is filling in for Mike Smithson at 6pm tonight.

Sally Bowrey reading in Sydney
Is this Sally’s first time at 6pm?
Explains why she wasn’t on Weekend Sunrise this morning.
I thought she was co-presenting with Matt this morning?
She did.
She was on this morning. She hosted.
About time Sally presented at 6pm, given she has been working for Seven in Sydney for over 10 years now!
