Probably the least worst graphics 9 Qld have produced recently, but why is everything so BIG?!

Perhaps because everything is bigger in Queensland, whether it makes sense or not! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

They couldn’t have made the music any louder in that promo. You can barely hear the voiceover at 0:16 onwards.

I don’t want a top 20 countdown. I want election news. that counts 7 out for me. i feel like the news will be disjointed, unless they do this top 20 countdown in the first hour with minimal booths reporting.

not a bad line up tbh. i’;d be interested to see who is on the ABC - i suspect that will be my default and i’ll switch to 9 occasionally and over to sky if labor win
