I thought ABCs election coverage was coming out of Sydney?

I’d suggest they jumped the gun and didn’t want to commit to anything until the last minute in case something happened with the state borders to NSW.

Same on YouTube so definitely not us. Come on ABC 30 minutes in get it fixed. Might just be us way over in the east coast.

ABC coverage really should be anchored by a local name. Jane Norman is fine but you’d imagine Pamela Medlen would have some more insight.

Also seems a strange call given recent QLD, NSW, ACT and Victorian elections have been anchored or co-anchored by local presenters. (NT the only exception)

That’s assuming that there would have been someone locally who wanted to put their hand up to do it.

Surely Medlen should have been asked? Especially given who’s anchoring on the other channels.
