There are just two new panellists announced for this week’s episode of The Verdict: Miranda Tapsell and Julian Burnside.
Adopting a different format to the rotating Q & A model, it will return with Mark Latham, Sandy Rea, Anne Henderson, Campbell Brown and Dr. Anne Aly.
But will it include a “talking stick” please?
On this week’s episode of The Verdict, Chair Karl Stefanovic will be joined by the panel below to discuss a variety of topics fuelling debate around the country including: Should we close down detention centres and welcome more refugees? Is Australia racist? Does social media do more harm than good?

Honestly, what genius suggested Mark Latham. Could never watch anything he’s in.
Just what we need more Mark Latham dross coming out of his mouth. Thanks Channel 9 for giving this imbecile a national platform.
There,s also the question about how many are brain dead,
I see the germ of a spinoff show there…
Elevator pitch: Rick, Michonne, Carl, & Baby Kickass sail to Australia. The plague hasn’t reached there yet. Nothing changes, except _why_ they smash heads…
And I thought ACA was Lowest Common Denominator.
I think Australia has already given it’s verdict on this steaming mess.
OMG, seven all talking over each other. Poll votes are meaningless. The only type of accurate polling is computer-generated random phone calls across an entire LGA/city/state. If this is to be introduced during the show then Qld, SA, NT, WA peoples don’t waste your 55 cents.
And the guy who thought it was a pity Troy Newman’s mother hadn’t had an abortion is apparently back. Gotta keep the standards down at commercial television level.
‘Is Australia racist?’
Here’s another sweeping question that includes anything and everyone in it: Is Channel Nine stupid?
Well, at least it’s possible to argue that Australia isn’t completely racist…
