Would love to see a breakdown of those costs. It seems like a lot of money.

90% of that would be Patricia's appearance fee. Talent like that doesn't come cheap.

FOI request: How much does it cost to make an episode of #Insiders on ABC? Supplementary question: Do those talking heads from News Corp and the Nine Entertainment Complex get paid to give their opinions on the national broadcaster? #auspol bsky.app/profile/josh...

Impressed they answered that with such a specific figure. Now how many toilet rolls have they used this month is what we really want to know
