Rowan Dean returns to co-front controversial Outsiders programme this Sunday on Sky News
After one week off the air following the sacking of Mark Latham, CB hears Outsiders is set to return to Sky News this Sunday at 10am, still co-fronted by former ad agency creative director Rowan Dean, now editor of the Spectator and a regular AFR satirical columnist.
The only unanswered question is, who, if anyone, will replace Latham?
Dean began his career as an ex-pat copywriter in the UK, where he created the multi-award winning Fosters Lager campaign featuring Paul Hogan. He went on to co-write with art director Garry Horner “the world’s greatest ad” for Hamlet cigars, “Photobooth”, before returning to Australia as a film director and finally executive creative director of Euro (now Havas).
Dean’s career has certainly blossomed since leaving the ad industry, with his latest book Way Beyond Satire doing very nicely indeed.
In this hilarious selection from his weekly Australian Financial Review satirical columns, Dean chronicles Australia’s recent political mayhem, sorry, we mean history, in his unique tongue-in-cheek, ruthlessly subversive style. From the mysterious Granola virus to an outbreak of Todgers in the Lodge; from performing the Same Sex Kama Sutra and resisting the pull of Gravitational Waffle; from Sharia Law in Tassie to enjoying All the Gonski you can eat, Dean’s biting humour is an irresistible comic pleasure to savour.

Well done on supporting Mr Dean and The Outsiders – much better than that other mummy outfit..!
The reviews for Rowan are very positive http://bit.ly/2nN07QT, I shall purchase his book

Be cool, Terence, and post anonymously.
Your last show you forgot the Bingley award, I suggest chinless wonder Gareth Evans for his deplorable Press Club speech. He tries to sound like an academic but comes over as a mindless clown.
Please bring back Mark Latham show not so good without him, but still its my favourite on Sundays. Also bought your book – excellent. Look forward to seeing Mark back with you both in the not to distant future.. I hope
On Anzac Day whilst I was respectfully remembering the cousin who died at Sandakan in January 1945; another lies at Tyne Cot ; great uncles lying who knows where; the family friend, aged 20, who lost a leg at Milne Bay and my father who returned from New Guinea but whose life was never the same, this individual to whom we have given refuge has insulted not only me but me but many, many Australians.
This person must not be permitted to retain any position funded by the taxpayer. A few lessons in history and gratitude would be a good idea, preferably in another country.
My rage is white hot.
Just a few questions that need answers…
1. Why do people think that hedging their bets, by voting for one party for House of Reps and another for The Senate, is such a good idea?
2. Why do all Governments think that they can convince their poor mindless constituents into moving into the “Western Suburbs” of all the major cities, while they continue to overcrowd the city centres with ever increasing Government offices?
3. Why can’t we have referendum on Sharia Law without the “Left” thinking that we are all infidels that deserve to go to hell?
4. Why doesn’t John Howard come out of retirement and follow in the footsteps of his Political Idol, and set up an all new Political Party that represents the views, needs and desires of the once core followers of the Liberal Party?
5. When are we going to stop hearing about the things that matter in more than just 30 second sound bites? Having paid all my working life for the National ABC, I think it is about time that I, and people like me, are represented instead of being ridiculed for not having a personal agenda… when did it become wrong to think that we all matter(?), and don’t want to “belong” to a so-called “minority group”.
I am most proud to say that after watching both the “Insiders” and the “Outsiders” on Sunday mornings, I’m so pleased that you are on second as it calms me considerably to imagine that Australia is still in with a chance.
Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing you in parliament again, but if you can continue to inspire people through “The Outsiders” then I will continue to watch and applaud you and Rowan Dean.
I was born in Australia
Am I an indigenous Australian?
Having started his career on such a high (? ) how come ………………
We love your show. Nice to see another view of the world with less HATE!!
Why is it all of the so called politicians condemn their colleagues in the cesspit of Canberra of taking monies from other countries to pursue their careers when one of them gets caught its the end of the world. Everyone else outside of the political system would have been prosecuted for bribery/corruption and thrown in the slammer and ridiculed as a greedy self centered money grabbing moron……..
bring back Mark Latham he is the best Labour outsider you can get
This is the best commentating show on television.
Get Abbott back!
Wow
Watching recording for this week’s Outsiders
Grace Collier is just great
It is truly refreshing to watch her articulate what i am feeling
I run a sheep farm (up to 4,000 sheep) I’m a divorced woman who feels like everyday is a battle
Watch Andrew Bolt all the time
Think of all you ‘guy’s as like minded friends
Really enjoy the show…a breath of fresh air.
I’m not sure if you can help but a petition has been started asking the Government to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement. It is an opportunity also, by implication, to let them know just how many people do not support all this action to ‘reduce emissions’ …and thus potentially wreck this country. Numbers are all they seem to be influenced by.
Link to the petition:
Go to http://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Petitions/House_of_Representatives_Petitions/Petitions_General/Petitions_List
and search for EN0264
There’s humour, and then there’s buffoonery.Hope you lean more towards the former in future shows.
WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME JUST WHO, WHY OR WHAT IS BEHIND THIS MAD SATANICAL RUSH TOWARDS POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AND THE POLITICAL LEFT DOGMA THAT IS NOW APPARENTLY AFFECTING ALL POLITICAL PARTIES?
THERE APPEARS TO BE NO BENEFICIARY EXCEPT THAT IT IS DESTROYING WESTERN CIVILIZATION AND OUR WAY OF LIFE BY IMPOSING LAWS THAT ARE UNDEMOCRATIC AND DENYING US OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
KEEP UP YOUR FIGHT AND DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO FIGHT AGAINST THIS DRIFT TO THE LEFT AND THE ANNIHILATION OF OUR DEMOCRATIC RIGHT TO THINK FOR OURSELVES.
CLIFF MAYNARD.
AN AVID OUTSIDERS VIEWER.
Could someone (sane) please tell me that what the news reported re a Synagogue in Eastern Sydney being refused a building permit, due to possible terror target??
Now am I missing something here, or was this not thought through by anyone with half a brain and who could read!! because what it clearly says is that Jewish people and the rest of us excluding Muslims, are not safe from the “religion: of peace!! The Qur’anic texts clearly state the intent to kill Jews and infidels, yet we continue to import them at a rate of knots. Knowing full well, that in a few years, we will be overrun by them and their “peaceful” ideology.
Let’s hear from an Imam to say that this should be built as a sectarian country as mosques are being built across Australia with nary a ripple of commentary from any council, other than to DEFEND it and their stance.
This is the most abhorrent and ridiculous story I think I have ever heard. Malcolm Turnbull, it is time to step in and weigh on something more sensible than LGBT marriage equality. This is a clear and very present danger to us all and NOTHING is said or done about it.
I am nauseated.
Suzanne Rix
I applaud Suzanne Rix,s comment. I wrote a letter to a regional Qld paper but it wasn’t printed. It was along the lines of suggesting to the Gov,t legislating life in prison never to be released or execution by hanging or electrocution –for arrested ,tried and found guilty –terrorists /Isis sympathysers caught in Australia. I was advised it wasn’t printed as it was considered racist.!!
I did include the electrocution option as better to enable the guilty party to get to Allah quicker before they ran out of virgins.!
Where is the next Leader who will re-establish our traditional values and freedom of speech and thought? Cory Bernardi seems to the most likely candidate but he is taking too long to get others to stand in his Party… I think it would be just too complicated for Tony Abbot to return…….. especially as the Liberals have been infiltrated by left politicians.
Hey, what about Ross ? I am confident he could rally enough intelligent people and take over the Parliament….I am sure the population would get behind him!
We MUST act now before we lose everything our fathers fought in many battles to preserve…
No wonder the general population no longer trusts anyone in Canberra…. Please have a call to arms to something to rally Australians to stop this rot before it takes over everything and the Thought Police become a reality…
Think you guys are great on Outsiders, we don’t miss this show.
Heard Bernard Gaynor’s story on ABC radio (Steve Austin) Wednesday 27 September 2017 and was absolutely shocked at his story and how he has been treated. He needs support from all of us and people like yourselves. He would be a great guest to have on your show.
Thank you for your time, John and Ruth Barrett
Love your show!!
Hope you guys will start talking about the genocide in West Papua by the Indonesian Military i.e. 500,000 people murdered so far. Why do we give them 3 million in foreign aid and they spend 6 billion on there military. Ms. Bishop apparently denies this of course, and acknowledges Indonesia`s sovereign right to West Papua.
I would love to come onto your show as an outsider but I would need police protection.
Keep up the great work guys.
Bring mark Latham back
This year the Darwin Port started exporting cattle from the area of C.QLD ie Rockhampton west. The Gladstone Port is 200 to 500KM from the 1.5 mill cattle. The Darwin Poet is 2500 km away. This is a real showing of Pres. Trump correct when states the Chines have been to smart for fore the west.

Just love the show. It is good to know that free speech and thought are alive and well. By the way where can my partner and myself obtain ‘Outsiders’ cups. As we are loud and proud outsiders. Keep up the good work.
The many volcanoes that occurred late 2017 and early 2018 particularly the Hawaii volcanoes that went for 3 months were the cause of the drought that occurred on the East Coast of Australia last year yet the BOM refuse to acknowledge that volcanoes affect weather.
A volcano initially causes flooding within a 2000 to 3000 radius as it drops the humidity in that area. If the volcano continues like in Hawaii 2018 the humidity is markedly lowered thus causing the drought that hit our East Coast. Global warming which is tiny produces more rain but volcanoes have a bigger affect on weather.
Carbon Dioxide is the start of the food chain in the ocean as it produces algae and it is necessary for all plant life on earth without it we would all be dead. I would like ROWAN DEAN to see this please.
