[5] Crabb returned to Australia in 2007 and started work as a senior writer and political columnist for The Sydney Morning Herald and her opinion pieces featured in a regular column in the publication.

[10] From mid-2012, Crabb and radio personality Merrick Watts appeared in the ABC1 light-entertainment television program Randling, as part of a team called the West Coast Odd Sox.

[17][18] In May 2018, the ABC flew Crabb and Jeremy Fernandez to London to host coverage of the Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

[26] Self-proclaimed “chatters or chatterati” have formed a Chat 10 Looks 3 community on social media platforms[27] built around the same tenets as the podcast – friendship, kindness, and an agreement to not discuss politics.

She has written of former Australian prime minister Tony Abbott that as an opposition leader he was "potent, focused, absolutely deadly, and ultimately he succeeded", but of his period as prime minister she writes that Abbott's "most significant achievements ... were acts of dismantlement or shutting down: ending the carbon and mining taxes, stopping the boats."

In a May 2016 study of Abbott's successor, Malcolm Turnbull, she wrote that he "struggled as Opposition leader", his major flaw being that "he overleapt his colleagues in an attempt to build something".

The elevation of Donald Trump from talented freelance bottom-pincher to Leader of the Free World, substantially powered by angry white dudes in Michigan, has created, internationally, a mood of fear and uncertainty among the existing political class.

[30] She describes former immigration minister and current Leader of the Opposition, Peter Dutton, as having a commitment to free speech which "fully covers the right of everyday Australians to make racist remarks".

[31] Crabb has reported on the differential impact of parenting on workforce productivity[33] and that following the birth of a child, fathers spend, on average, half the number of hours on household work that mothers do.

In the 7am podcast, Crabb described the pattern, saying the graph "just leapt off the page", and that men's average work hours follow a flat line "like a cruiser, just cruising along".

[36][37] She suggests that by changing both Australian laws and societal pressures, the disparity in hours spent on household work may be addressed, and that fathers may have more time and stronger relationships with their children.
