Keneally and Cameron was a weekly Australian television program focused on news and political commentary, aired on Sky News Australia between 2014 and 2015. It was co-hosted by former NSW Premier Kristina Keneally alongside ex-Federal Liberal Minister Ross Cameron. This show succeeded the discontinued The Contrarians, which both presenters had hosted since mid-2014.
The format centered predominantly on political discussions, featuring the hosts alongside politicians, commentators, and newsmakers who debated the key issues of the week. Broadcasts took place every Friday at 4pm, with news updates delivered by a Sky News presenter at thirty-minute intervals.
In its concluding segment titled The Team Australia Awards—named after a term popularized by Prime Minister Tony Abbott shortly before the series launch—positive accolades such as 'Team Australia MVP' were awarded to individuals making significant impacts. Conversely, negative recognitions like yellow and red cards were issued for controversies or errors.
Audience participation was encouraged through reading tweets featuring the program’s official hashtag. The show was produced live from the Sky News studios located in the Sydney suburb of Macquarie Park.
Ending of program
The final episode aired on 27 March 2015, during which Janine Perrett filled in for Keneally while she was on leave. Following this, the slot was replaced by a two-hour news bulletin starting 3 April, and subsequently by The Friday Show, hosted by Perrett from 10 April onward.
Sources revealed that the cancellation stemmed from Keneally’s dissatisfaction with how she was portrayed on the show. Afterward, she took on a co-hosting role for the daytime program To The Point, whereas Cameron continued his involvement across various other Sky News productions.
