The Last Word is an Australian television program on Sky News Live that delivers news and commentary, hosted by David Speers alongside regular contributors Paul Murray, Janine Perrett, and Laura Jayes. The program primarily covers political developments and in-depth analysis.
David Speers usually broadcasts from the Parliament House studio located in Canberra, while the other panel members participate remotely from Sky News' studio in Sydney.
Initially, The Last Word was a 20-minute segment within PM Agenda, which was also anchored by Speers. In 2016, it evolved into an independent show, taking over the final 30 minutes previously occupied by PM Agenda. Currently, it airs four evenings a week at 5:30 pm AEST. Former panelist James Bracey left Sky News towards the end of 2016.
