Insiders: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Australia's must-watch political program continues to be a platform for the country's best political analysts and commentators, taking you to the heart of the action every Sunday morning.

Insiders entered a very crowded Sunday morning political market in 2001. But our approach was to provide coverage with so many more elements, and to do it in a way that is informative but irreverent. And of course have a few laughs along the way. If you took politics too seriously you'd go mad," said founding host Barrie Cassidy.

Insiders is the most watched morning show on Australian TV any day of the week. So start your week with the program the politicians rely on to find out what's going on.

Insiders is broadcast on Sundays from 9am to 10am (AEST) on ABC TV and the ABC News channel.
