To the Point was a political commentary show from Australia that aired four times per week on Sky News Australia. Initially, the program was co-hosted by Kristina Keneally and Peter van Onselen, with van Onselen leaving in October 2017 and being succeeded by Laura Jayes. The series launched on 1 June 2015, featuring political news updates, expert analysis, and discussions led by the hosts alongside guest panelists.
This program took over the 1:30pm AEST time slot from Lunchtime Agenda, acting as a precursor to Parliament Question time during weeks when parliament was sitting. It aired following PVO NewsDay, which was presented solely by van Onselen. Production occurred at Sky News’ Sydney studio located in Macquarie Park. Laura Jayes initially appeared as a guest co-host before assuming the role permanently in October 2017.
During the 2016 Australian federal election period, To the Point extended its duration to one hour and shifted its broadcast to 1pm AEST starting 16 May. The show ceased airing on 14 November 2017 after Keneally declared her intention to run as a Labor candidate in the 2017 Bennelong by-election.
