Look, the original Peter Jennings, that ABC news titan who anchored World News Tonight till lung cancer took him in 2005, isnt making headlines from beyond hes pure nostalgia fuel, with iHeartRadio dropping a 20-years-on special revisiting his 1983 solo anchor debut, Gulf War marathons, and 9/11 grit. No reboots, hauntings, or ABC resurrections just enduring legend status amid our media mess.
But hold up, theres a living Peter Jennings stealing the spotlight: Australias hawkish national security guru and Institute of Public Affairs fellow, whos been on a tear these past weeks with biographical heft that screams long-term player in Indo-Pacific power plays. Kicking off the year, IPA reports he hit Mornings on 2GB radio January 5, breaking down US special forces snatching Venezuelas Nicolas Maduro in a slick op off the Gerald R. Ford carrier he called it tactically spot-on, defending Trumps move against drug-running chaos as a win over fake international law hand-wringing. Smart, pragmatic, and unafraid to praise luck plus skill classic Jennings.
Fast-forward to January 14, IPA transcripts show him on Sky News Australias Bolt Report, dissecting Irans street protests as a regime on its slow slide out maybe weeks, maybe months fueled by blackouts, shortages, and protest deaths that repression cant bury forever. He floated Trump intervening to tip the mullahs, eyeing it as a tipping point with real policy ripple. Then January 17, he penned an IPA piece slamming Australias bungled Washington tactics forget ambassadors, fix our strategy.
Past few days? Crickets on fresh TV, business deals, or social buzz no board seats, scandals, or viral dust-ups per IPA feeds and major outlets. That late 2025 Sky Credlin blast on Albanese security lapses still echoes, but nothings popped in the last 24 hours no major headlines beyond repackaged clips. Pure speculation on any Canberra backlash.
