ABC has replaced its political editor with award-winning journalist David Speers after Andrew Probyn was made redundant last month.

It was announced on Wednesday that Speers, the anchor of the network’s political flagship program, Insiders, will become ABC News’ National Political Lead.

‘It’s terrific to have the program that’s all about the nation’s politics now based right in the centre of the action,’ Speers said in the announcement on Wednesday.

‘As Australians wrestle with hugely important issues around the cost of living, housing, climate change, the Indigenous Voice, and many others, the Insiders team will be on the ground to help them navigate how the policies and politics are impacting the nation and people’s lives.

‘I’m also really pleased to have an expanded presence within the bureau. The ABC Parliament House team is a powerhouse of incredibly talented and dedicated journalists. It’s a privilege to be part of this team and I look forward to working even more closely with everyone.’

More to come.
