David Gordon Speers (born 9 September 1974) is an Australian journalist and host of Insiders on ABC TV.

Previously he was political editor at Sky News Australia, as well as host of PM Agenda, The Last Word and Speers Tonight.

Career

Speers began his career in Geelong, Victoria, in the newsroom of radio station K-Rock. He then worked at 2GB, 2UE and 3AW. He has been a member of the National Press Club board since 2005[5] and is currently a director.[6]

Sky News

In 2000, Speers joined Sky News as a political editor.[7]

During his time with Sky News, Speers hosted the channel's flagship PM Agenda program on Monday to Thursday afternoons. Additionally, he presented political updates and conducts interviews throughout the day on the 24-hour news channel.[8]

He also previously commuted from his home in Canberra once a week to Sky News' primary studios in Sydney to host primetime program The Nation with David Speers[8] before the program ended in 2015. On 28 January 2016, Speers began hosting a new weekly Sky News format Speers Tonight from Canberra.[9][10][11]

ABC News

In June 2019, Speers was appointed as host of the ABC's Insiders program, replacing Barrie Cassidy from February 2020.[12] Speers regularly appears on ABC News, News Breakfast and ABC Local Radio including Mornings on ABC Radio Melbourne.[citation needed]

Speers is also a fill-in presenter for Michael Rowland on News Breakfast.[citation needed]

In July 2023, Speers was appointed as ABC national political lead, a new position, following the departure of former political editor Andrew Probyn.[13]

Election coverage

Speers was chosen to moderate the leaders' debate between John Howard and Kevin Rudd for the 2007 Australian federal election[14] and again in the 2010 Australian federal election between Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott, as well as the 2013 Australian federal election between Kevin Rudd and Tony Abbott.

Other

In 2020, Speers released the book On Mutiny (ISBN 9780733644146) which covered the removal of Malcolm Turnbull as prime minister.

Speers has also written regular articles for financial website Switzer.[15]

Awards

Between 2006 and 2015, Speers has been awarded with an ASTRA Award for "outstanding performance" by a presenter or journalist every year with the exception of 2010.[16][17] The awards were discontinued after 2015.[18]

Speers won a Walkley Award in December 2014 for a notable interview with Attorney General George Brandis, in which Brandis struggled to explain what metadata was despite being the minister in charge of proposed new laws surrounding the storage and police access of metadata.[19][20] Speers won the same award at the 2015 event (which Speers also hosted) for his notable "The Fixer" interview with Christopher Pyne on PM Agenda.[21]

In 2016, Speers was named one of the 50 most powerful people in Australian television by News Corp Australia.[22]

Speers won the Subscription Television Award for Best Male Presenter at the 2017 AACTA Awards.[23]

Personal life

Speers' parents are Peter Speers and Robyn (née Cowled). He lives in Canberra[24] and is married to Liz, with whom he has two children who were born in 2010 and 2014.[25][26]

Speers plays the trumpet and demonstrated this ability while hosting the 2010 ASTRA Awards.[27][28]
