Barrie Cassidy returns to celebrate Insiders 25th anniversaryFounding Insiders host joins David Speers, Paul Kelly and Karen Middleton for a special 25th anniversary edition. Founding Insiders host Barrie Cassidy will return to the ABC couch this Sunday to celebrate 25 years of the political analysis program. The collapse of the two-party system, the breakdown of trust in democracy and institutions and an explosion of technology and political media disruptors have left our political system facing challenges unimaginable a generation ago. The anniversary edition will bring two-and-a-half decades of experience and analysis to understanding the chaos and challenges of Australian politics in 2026 – and feature some of the program’s many memorable moments from over the years. Sunday 9 August at 9:00am on ABC and ABC News.
