Outsiders is an upcoming Australian television news and commentary program broadcast weekly on Sky News Australia.[1] The program will be co-hosted by former Liberal MP Ross Cameron, former Labor leader Mark Latham and editor of The Spectator magazine Rowan Dean and feature long-form discussion of political issues between the conservative presenters.[2][3]
The format is designed as a response to the long-running ABC program Insiders.[2] The hosting trio have described themselves as "Trump's Aussie mates"[4] and will proudly boast "absolutely no balance whatsoever" and plan to "do the opposite of [Insiders host] Barrie Cassidy".[2]
The program is the second format co-hosted by both Cameron (following the now-defunt Keneally and Cameron) and Latham (who continues co-hosting Jones + Co) and the first hosting role for Dean. The program was developed following the appearance of all three men on an episode of Paul Murray Live.[5]
The program will broadcast from the Sky News centre in the Sydney suburb of Macquarie Park. The series will premiere on 4 December 2016 at 10am AEDT, meaning it will begin airing as Insiders concludes.[1]
