The culture?
Wouldnât that have already happened though once those people had left a few weeks ago?
A little off topic, but IIRC he left Nine under not so glamorous circumstances 6 years ago, essentially getting the axe, followed reports of ACA staff being upset with him with things he was doing there.
He oversaw ACA for nearly 10 years (Tracy Grimshaw into her third year anchoring it) at a time Anna Coren had successfully replaced Naomi Robson at TT even if not at her heights, but managed to chew into Matt Whiteâs audience gradually to eventually become No. 1 and TT would get chopped after 2013âs Helen Kapalos helm.
He was originally a Nine News producer and before that the technical adviser on Water Rats, being a former NSW Police detective in the 90s.

You would be surprised at how many EPâs there are now in their 20âs nowadays. One I knew was two years younger than me.

No sign of Dr Chalmers based on the press release and screencaps. He must have been a late withdrawal.

I just watched this program and whilst it was very good and put together well they didnât really deliver on the desired outcome though.
Most of the episode the leader of the âboot campâ island kept saying after 9 days this works. This program works.
The only real vision we saw was physical activity and boot camp structured teachings.
They never really told us how it worked. So they were basically off their devices for 9 days and attended a camp.
But what did they actually do at that camp? Wouldnât they just go back to their devices when they got home?
How did that boot camp get them off their devices once they got home?
I just felt like there was no real outcome of the program.
Should have called it Sunset⌠

I watched the sextortion scam episode and also felt they left a lot of detail out and sensationalised it so much they forgot to give practical advice around what to do if you get scammed. Where they really failed in my opinion was they never mentioned that these scammers very rarely actually follow through with the threat to post the nude images because if they do their accounts and phones get banned really quick so they canât keep scamming. They also didnât address the real reason behind some of these teens ending their life is because they think theyâll go to jail or be put on the sex offenders register for life for sending nude images while under 18.
Didnât realise they had an ABC weather riser thing infront of that screen.

7NEWS Spotlight: Inside the worldâs toughest prison
Plus, Charles Wooleyâs rare glimpse at an Australian phenomenon
For years, El Salvador has been plagued by rampant street violence, drug cartels and murders, earning its reputation as one of the most dangerous places on earth.
Once notorious for the highest daily murder rate worldwide, it now holds the record for the highest incarceration rate.
In a remarkable episode of 7NEWS Spotlight airing this Sunday on Channel 7 and 7plus, acclaimed journalist Liam Bartlett will take viewers inside the epicentre of El Salvadorâs brutal and unforgiving prison system.
The Centre for Confinement and Terrorism (CECOT) has become a symbol of President Nayib Bukeleâs war against gangs. Since its establishment in 2023, it has housed tens of thousands of El Salvadorâs worst criminals and gang leaders.
With exclusive access, 7NEWS Spotlightâs cameras go behind the bars and come face-to-face with the inmates inside the worldâs toughest prison, witnessing first hand the inhumane conditions that have human rights organisations around the world in uproar.
Barlett said: âItâs a confronting argument whether or not this level of incarceration solves the root cause of violent crime.
âHowever, we are grateful to the Salvadoran government for allowing us, as the first non-Spanish-speaking television crew, to access this prison and show our audience the results.â
As Bartlett sits down with former FBI special agent Jeff Wood, he will issue a stark warning to Australia: the infiltration of notorious gangs on Australian soil is not a distant threat but a chilling reality.
Also on 7NEWS Spotlight, join Charles Wooley on an extraordinary expedition to witness the rare phenomenon of Australiaâs Lake Eyre, coming to life in a spectacular event that only occurs once every two decades.
