    Omnishambles: Bruce Lehrmann v Network 10 & Lisa Wilkinson

    On this week's Fourth Estate we look at the "omnishambles" (to quote Justice Michael Lee) that was the Bruce Lehrmann v Network 10 and Lisa Wilkinson defamation trial.
    While Lehrmann walked away a proven rapist (in the balance of probabilities), nobody really got off lightly, especially not the media.
    Host, Tina Quinn is joined by Kate McClymont, Chief Investigative Reporter at The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, Amy Remeikis, Guardian Australia's Political Reporter and former current affairs producer, Anthony McClellan.

    Kategate: A post-mortem

    This week we take a look back at the media maelstrom that was 'Kategate'.
    Were we the public to blame for elevating a social media bin-fire? Was it the media? Or did the wheels of the Palace PR machine completely come off? And what does it say about our relationship with once very trusted institutions? Host, Tina Quinn returns to the Fourth Estate chair to interrogate those questions with the former Editor-in-Chief of The Guardian newspaper, Alan Rusbridger, Royal Correspondent Ellie Hall and the host of the After Work Drinks podcast and Editor of the newly relaunched Elle Australia, Grace O'Neill.
