She was on the ground in Israel following the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks, in Mexico investigating the tragic deaths of Australian surfers Callum and Jake Robinson, and reported live from the steps of the US Supreme Court as the Roe v. Wade abortion ruling was overturned. > > Her reporting has taken her across war zones, courtrooms and disaster-stricken regions, always delivering the facts with clarity and depth.

Guess this confirms that Kate Creedon and Sophie Walsh will share presenting duties for the Morning News and Sydney afternoon news. Does anyone know which days they do? I know Kate does Mondays and Tuesdays and Sophie does Thursdays and Fridays I think? ---
