I Loooove the ABC people....all the other stations do is put some
desperately keen decorative young journo in to ask mundane questions
that
they think are *very* original....

whereas ABC journos just love making the
pollies squirm....especially Kerry O'Brien. I wonder how many pollies go
off and cry with humiliation in the ABC toilets after being interviewed
by
him...

I think the woman on Lateline is even better than Kerry. She is so
smilingly polite and charming and laughs with them but then won't let them
off the hook till they actually answer the question that she asked them.
They squirm and prevaricate but each time she brings them right back and
eventually gets an answer out of them. Don't know her name, but she will
go
far is she doesn't move over to a commercial channel.

I've never watched Lateline because it comes on too late for me.
But one talented ABC personality left Melbourne ABC Radio and took up
a position in morning radio ABC Sydney and is now on Lateline.
Was she blonde or dark haired, were you thinking of Virginia Trioli?

Dark hair but I don't think I've ever caught her name, I've just noticed how
good she is, extremely charming and appears to be so quite naturally which
tends to lull them into a false sense of security that she'll have not
noticed that they didn't answer the question but she's like a terrier and
doesn't let them off the hook at all. Very talented and a very good mind.
