Hadley! was a short lived Australian talk show which aired on the Australian subscription television news channel Sky News Australia and was hosted by commentator Ray Hadley who discussed current political and social issues with guests.

The program premiered on 16 November 2010[1] and lasted for four episodes. The program was broadcast live across the country from Sky News' Sydney studio in Macquarie Park and aired Wednesday evenings between 8:15 and 9:00 pm.

The format of the program consisted of a brief introduction by Hadley followed by an interview with a current federal politician. This was followed by the segment 'thumbs up or thumps down' where Hadley and one of his guests, usually a journalist, posed pre-written questions to each other where they either agreed (thumbs up) or disagreed (thumbs down). The final segment consisted of Hadley and either one of two panellists discussing political and general issues. The show closed with a parody song recorded by the Robertson Brothers.

Hadley resigned from Sky News Australia on the eve of program returning in 2011[2] reportedly due to 'differences' and staff not wanting to work with him.[3]
