Hey Sabra - ask Dutton about using the Exclusive Brethren to hand out How To Vote flyers?

I’m sorry, but to me James Paterson sounds like a little boy serial whinger.
It’s the tone he adopts I think

So is there any Sydney radio morning show with an intelligent female broadcaster?
(Not a co-host but stand alone host?)
There’s endless male voices on #ABC702 and I’m sick of it

An actual presenter on ABC702 Sydney just said “can Australia survive the retirement of Ariana Titmus”* and my god woman, yes I think somehow the Federation will survive this. The language we use for sportspeople in this country is fucking gross.

*spelling?

I'm in NSW, and since Sarah MacDonald was removed from her fabulous morning show on ABC702 and replaced by Hamish McDonald ( already well used on RN ) the number of female announcers is almost zero. Beginning to believe the decision makers really dislike women.

I am fed up with hearing about Jo Haylen’s trip to a winery.
#ABC702
It has taken on a misogynistic tone and it’s giving me the shits.
She paid back the cost - and most probably didn’t have to. She’s a hard working politician who is doing a lot of good work.
Move on

A male caller to Hamish McDonald on ABC702 last week circled around the economic/racist arguments, being challenged by Hamish, until he got to his main reason for strongly supporting ON : gun ownership, and her support. This man was from the NSW central coast. Scary.

If Kim Williams is so chuffed about the new programming direction for #ABC702 why haven't they announced the new line up? Are they waiting for the outcry over Sarah Mac, Simon Marnie, and now Robbie Buck to die down? They really don't know their audience at all. #auspol

Hamish ask the AEC about using starlink??
Australian Electoral Commission to use Elon Musk' Starlink in the federal election?

"AEC is committed to providing impartial & accessible electoral services to Australians. If you have a complaint or a suggestion on how we can improve ..."
Anyone else writing?

Is that the kind of track ABC702 was discussing this afternoon, the train that takes 11 hours of discomfort with no internet Sydney to Melbourne? Or Newcastle to Sudney, a longer time than by road. The LNP track?

Hamish is fully 'on both sides' journalism. Dutton team will be pleased.

Many years ago, I was a semi-regular guest on ABC702 w Linda Mottram talking books, libraries and reading. James Valentine would join us to spruik his own show. He was all the things people are remembering him for - funny, kind and engaging. Rest easy, James Valentine. www.smh.com.au/culture/tv-a...
‘Deeply missed’: ABC radio presenter James Valentine dies aged 64
The former rock star and ABC radio presenter had been battling cancer.

First words of ABC702 news this AM
"Volodymyr Zelenskyy..."
I hold my breath with fingers crossed it's not bad news ... "thanks..."
and I let out a sigh of relief.
Two days in a row, similar moments, very different emotions. It's a rollercoaster I tell you! I was uncaffeinated at the time too

ABC702 had a couple of callers who made excellent points this morning. One noted that Mr Dutton had a big policy for nuclear power which has not been aired in recent weeks.

My observation - he's big on culture wars, but hopeless on policy and unity.

I'm really beginning to believe that decision makers at the ABC are very anti-female. In Sydney ABC702 has lost all its fabulous female daytime presenters. Now, despite probably having at least half the listeners being women, it's wall-to-wall male presenters all day.

Who is that cruise ship apologist on #ABC702 afternoons? I hope the family of the deceased woman is not listening.

Very sad Sarah Macdonald’s contract at #ABC702 Sydney has not been renewed. Ratings up , brilliant broadcaster.
November 20, 2024 at 10:20 PM
Sarah Ferguson was quite complimentary on ABC702 Sydney - mornings with Hamish today - apparently James Patterson is "one of the most thoughtful, intelligent, certainly one of the most coherent speakers in the liberal party .... When he speaks... people pay attention" 🙄
October 15, 2025 at 3:48 AM
Have they announced who is replacing Sarah MacDonald on mornings ABC702? I've not listened at all since the dumpings and I can't see any announcements online. #ABC702

Turned on #ABC702 Sydney radio news for first time in years, 5 minutes on TC Alfred, then a story on some sheepdog trials, then weather. That was it. Why would anyone bother?

Seems to me O'Farrell wedged himself on #abc702 better than Labor could ever manage re the injecting room.
November 13, 2024 at 6:03 PM
They even had him on ABC702 discussing his gun reform legacy. Nope, still turned it off.

Blanche d'Alpuget on her new book, 'The Bunny Club' with Hamish Macdonald on ABC702 Mornings today, as well as the Manly Writers' Festival. Blanche's book will be launched as part of the festival on Friday 28 March. (Start c. 2h02m) buff.ly/9dsto82
