Hadley! was a short-lived Australian political discussion program hosted by commentator Ray Hadley that appeared on the subscription-based news network Sky News Australia in 2010, spanning four episodes.
The show debuted on 16 November 2010, airing live across the country from Sky News' studio located in Macquarie Park, Sydney. It was scheduled for Wednesday evenings from 8:15 to 9:00 pm.
The structure of the program began with Hadley’s opening remarks, followed by an interview featuring a federal political figure. A segment titled 'thumbs up or thumbs down' involved Hadley and a guest—usually a journalist—posing prepared questions to one another, expressing agreement or disagreement on various topics. The concluding segment consisted of discussions on political and broader issues with one of two rotating panellists. Each episode closed with a comedic song performed by the Robertson Brothers.
Prior to the anticipated return of the show in 2011, Hadley departed from Sky News Australia, reportedly due to internal conflicts and staff hesitancy regarding collaboration with him.
