A very brief ad was shown at 10.30pm during the Chief Leader’s winning speech, before returning to his speech. Oops.

Guess since it was the scheduled end time for the coverage, the system at MediaHub must’ve been timed to cut away at that point. Thankfully it was only a few seconds before they returned to it.

Overall, another fantastic broadcaster from the ABC. Great use again of the National Museum, and both Adrienne Frances and James Glenday were a big improvement from Greg Jenette (who did the previous two elections). Great analysis from the panel as well, and Antony was great as always despite the technical issues earlier on.
