Looks like there was a last minute change to the Election Special line up… Craig Foster swapped for Graeme Innes?

Yes Graeme was on the panel instead of Craig who was originally scheduled to be on the panel .

From The Australian:
“A late night election episode of ABC’s The Drum with actor Magda Szubanski, football commentator Craig Foster, author Jamila Rizvi, journalist Stan Grant and former professional surfer Layne Beachley was watched by 657,000 people, according to preliminary figures.”

That is the number posted in Saturday’s ratings but the preliminary numbers will be adjusted. The Drum was due to be broadcast at 10:30pm AEST but didn’t make it to air until midnight.

Friday 2 August - Garma Special

Ellen Fanning hosting another on location special with a panel of guests discussing and sharing opinions at the 2019 Garma Festival in north-east Arnhem Land.

According to description on ABC iView, today’s episode included discussions on the Victorian Court of Appeal’s dismissal of George Pell’s appeal. If it could air on News Channel that meant everyone could see it. Maybe last minute editing?
