The 7.30 Report is an Australian week-nightly television current affairs program, which was shown on ABC1 and ABC News 24 at 7.30 pm from 1986 to 2011.
Until the end of 1995[2] the program had separate editions for each state and territory, presented by Alan Carpenter, Mary Delahunty, Quentin Dempster, Trisha Goddard,[3] Sarah Henderson, Jane Singleton,[4] Genevieve Hussey, John Jost, Leigh McClusky, Kelly Nestor, and Andrew Olle.
The change saw 7.30 extended to five nights a week, although Friday editions continued to be presented locally and focus on state affairs.
