Jacob Greber to replace Laura Tingle as political editor on 7.30
ABC's flagship current affairs program 7.30 has announced the replacement for star political reporter Laura Tingle, who has become the national broadcaster's global affairs editor. Jacob Greber, who joined the ABC as chief digital poetical correspondent from The Australian Financial Review less than a year ago, will take on the high-profile role from July 7. The announcement was made by 7.30 host Sarah Ferguson, describing it as a 'very special moment'. ' With an almost 30-year career in journalism covering politics, economics and world affairs – all the things that we want – he's been a foreign correspondent as well, and got his start working as a copyboy in the Canberra Press Gallery,' she said. 'You can't beat that. Jacob, a very big, warm welcome aboard.' Greber's almost 30-year career spanned the globe, first working in Brisbane at the Courier-Mail covering state politics, before moving to Switzerland to cover the country's global banks and the European economy for the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation, and later Bloomberg News in Zurich. Of the appointment, Greber said he was excited to step into the role, adding the population 'demands clarity and insight' about the current political landscape. 'It's an incredible time to join 7.30 with Sarah Ferguson and the team,' he said in a statement from the ABC. 'Our audience rightly demands clarity and insight about the people who govern us and the challenges we face as a nation.' Tingle, who had been with 7.30 since February 2018, announced she would take up the role as global affairs editor last month. She is set to begin her role later this year, and will replace John Lyons, who was announced as the ABC Americas editor in February. Greber wished her the best in her new role. 'I also salute Laura Tingle,' he said. 'An absolute class act and fearless force of nature. I'm humbled and thrilled to pick up where she's left off.'

PM won't get raucous over AUKUS, however hard he's pushed
A month or so ago, after newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney invited Anthony Albanese to attend the G7 summit in Alberta, Australian government officials made inquiries about scheduling a side trip to the White House. For various reasons – chaos among them – it never eventuated. This was not deemed to be a disaster within the government. Far from it, given leaders blowing through the Oval Office currently risk finding themselves the subject of humiliation.
