Presumably Sneesby will return the favour if staff complain about Maguire flying out to Fiji after attending the Midwinter Ball in Canberra on Wednesday night. The black-tie event is also the occasion to award the federal press gallery journalist of the year and the inaugural visual story teller of the year.Probyn has only been with Nine for seven months, having joined after the ABC made his role, and 40 others in news, redundant.
The reporter said after he was made redundant he received a call from the prime minister, Anthony Albanese, who said words to the effect of “what the fuck is going on at the ABC?” and that someone from Nine rang him the same day and said “What the fuck is going on with the ABC? Do you want to come and work for us?”
Former Indigenous affairs editor Bridget Brennan, a co-host on Breakfast, has been filling in for Millar, as has South Australian reporter Emma Rebellato.
