I gonna take a break and catch some sleep. You will see me next year around the ABC in the lead-up to the election.” She then thanked her team, before adding: “I can’t believe I’ve actually got those words out. In fact, I have been dreading saying it out loud and making it real. RN Breakfast has been such a huge part of my life.“I will miss it and I will miss you. As I say, it has been a privilege and an absolute joy. For now, until December let’s keep doing what we do here together for a little while longer.
