Thrilled to do this. What a building! So intimate. The late great Peter Bowers used to say it had a pulse. Just by walking into King’s Hall you knew instinctively whether nothing was happening or the big one was about to break.

Some news from me! Tonight I read my last ABC Canberra 7pm News bulletin for the year and for a while. I’m really excited to announce I’ll be moving into a new role within the ABC next year, leading our coverage of the Referendum and the Voice to Parliament.
Thank you for shaping the discussion on #QandA in 2022. We'll be back - on Monday nights - from January 30. Have a safe and happy summer break.

This is a dreadful decision. Newspapers are the first draft of history. This was one of my favourite places in @Aust_Parliament @AboutTheHouse. I used this room regularly to read & research stories covered in dozens of brilliant regional papers from across Australia
