Tim McMillan said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining the Seven West Media team and am especially proud to be hosting this truly unique program for WA.
“Flashpoint is an opportunity to go well beyond the headlines and hold our State’s decision makers accountable. I expect the calibre and passion of our guests will lead to some robust yet informative debates, I can’t wait,” he said.
Harnessing the power of 7NEWS and The West Australian, each episode will feature a new panel consisting of politicians, business and community leaders from around WA, coming together to set the news agenda for the week.
It won’t all be serious business, comedian Peter Rowsthorn (pictured right) will join the team each week adding his quirky and funny take on events and The West Australian cartoonist Dean Alston will draw his take on the episode.
West Australian Newspapers Senior Editor Anthony De Ceglie said he was excited about partnering with 7NEWS on the show.
“Our reporters, our readers and our coverage the next day will ensure Flashpoint doesn’t just delve into the matters that affect people in this state, but also looks at solutions and presents answers too,” he said.

I would like to know what the Premier is going to do in regards to the Canning Bridge congestion, which comes from the freeway.
With all the suburban growth and high rises going up at the Canning Bridge – Applecross – Mt Pleasant area, the traffic is jammed all the way back to Stock Road, Palmyra. It is great he is supporting all the developers but what is going to happen on Canning Hwy? I get stressed everyday driving to work. Trying to get on to the Freeway is scary at the best. I tried to go online to the department web site but no reply as advertised.
This is a nightmare and is only going to get worse with another 2000 drivers coming over the year with the new high rises.
Can someone give me an answer or do I have to quit my job? This is an accident waiting to happen.
