  1. I noticed former long-time 10 anchor Kath Robinson (and wife or Reaso and affected by 10’s infamous period some years back) presenting ABC News budget coverage last night, would have been around mid-evening “The Business” was the show. Good on her and the ABC.

    1. I have followed Kath since her early days on 10….she has grown into a journalistic force….I like her work….Class with a capital ‘C’….👌
