Credlin is a political commentary and news program broadcast on weeknights by Sky News Australia. The show is hosted by Peta Credlin, a Sky News analyst and former chief of staff to Prime Minister Tony Abbott. It premiered on 20 November 2017, coinciding with the closing week of the 2017 Queensland state election.
This series represents Credlin's initial solo presenting role after previously co-hosting Credlin Keneally alongside Kristina Keneally and Jones + Co with Alan Jones. Credlin took over the timeslot from The Latest with Laura Jayes and focuses primarily on political commentary led by Credlin herself.
In early 2018, the program achieved a 166% increase in ratings for its timeslot on Sky News, becoming the top-rated show among all Foxtel channels during that period. In 2020, Credlin delivered the exclusive Sky News documentary ‘Deadly Decisions: Victoria’s Hotel Quarantine Catastrophe’’, which uncovered new information regarding failures in Victoria’s quarantine system. This documentary became Foxtel's most-watched program, drawing an audience surge of over 323% compared to the prior four-week average, alongside a timeslot rating boost exceeding 160% on the WIN Network.
Throughout 2020, Credlin experienced a 41% increase in viewership compared to the previous year.
