It’s not like we’re in a dead news cycle at the moment either. There is tons going on and that means a lot of competition for what gets a mention on the program.
Comment on ABC shuts down official Twitter accounts due to 'toxic interactions'

That topic has been discussed regularly by ABC and Insiders for something like three years. So what if they decided to cover something else for 4 weeks? Insiders is not a news show, it’s an interview show. The topics and timing of each topic is limited by the availability of people being interviewed.

Perhaps I should’ve been more specific - the Insiders twitter had been shut down since near the start of the year.
The first four (at least) episodes of the show featured no mention of the royal Commission, which at the time was releasing damning findings and testimony what seemed like every few days. It was big news - just not on Insiders, where they can actually interview those part of it.
The insiders Twitter was full of people pointing out the lack of coverage, with no acknowledgement except for an abrupt shut down.
Really felt reminiscent of the ‘don’t mention NBN’ in Q+A years ago.
