SKY News has dumped its Sunday morning political panel Outsiders, following the firing of Mark Latham last week.

In its place is another half hour of Weekend Live with Ahron Young.

The short-lived show, with Latham, former Liberal MP Ross Cameron, and editor of The Spectator Australia Rowan Dean, only launched in December, promising a “no holds barred observations on the political week that was.”

But comments by Mark Latham saw him under fire from all sections, including within the channel itself, before being unceremoniously dumped by news boss Angelos Frangopoulos.

A spokesperson simply told Mumbrella, “The program is in recess” which is usually spin for ‘never to return.’

  3. Would have thought that ratings alone would have been reason enough for giving this the boot. There are better ways of presenting a right wing perspective.

    1. The best common sense show I have had the pleasure to watch. Must be hard for the “lefties” to watch a program that shows how stupid they come across to the “normal” public

  4. I don’t pressure you to axe programmes I don’t agree with. I just don’t watch them.
    Can’t we have a choice or will we end up having only what you deem appropriate for us to view..
