Senate Estimates Circus, Anika Wells’ Grand Final Flights & The Crown Jewels Stunt.

Tonight on McKnight Tonight, Rob McKnight cuts through the noise on a stacked final-week-of-the-year show.

We begin with the absolute theatre of Senate Estimates, where accountability collides with question-dodging, deflection and some truly extraordinary answers from ministers and public servants.

Then, the spotlight turns to Communications Minister Anika Wells, after it was revealed taxpayers covered almost $9,000 in flights for her husband — and on one occasion her children — to attend three AFL Grand Finals in a row. Legal under entitlements, yes — but does it pass the pub test?

In Rob’s Rant, four protesters storm the Tower of London, throwing apple crumble and custard at the Crown Jewels in a political stunt that somehow devolves into a global avalanche of terrible media puns.

Plus — why the media kept quiet on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s secret wedding, and what that says about press access and political power.
