Do you mean this royal comission?

That topic has been discussed regularly by ABC and on Insiders since 2016. So what if they covered other topics for a few episodes? It's a talk show. The topics and timing are limited by the availability of people on the panel.

If you want good coverage, by people who know what they're talking about, you have to wait for them to be available.

It's not like we're in a dead news cycle at the moment either. There is tons going on and that means a lot of competition for what gets a mention on the program.

Perhaps I should've been more specific - the Insiders twitter had been shut down since near the start of the year.

The first four (at least) episodes of the show featured no mention of the royal Commission, which at the time was releasing damning findings and testimony what seemed like every few days. It was big news - just not on Insiders, where they can actually interview those part of it.

The insiders Twitter was full of people pointing out the lack of coverage, with no acknowledgement except for an abrupt shut down.

Really felt reminiscent of the 'don't mention NBN' in Q+A years ago.
