Not the right thread I’m aware, but definitely should not be lowered.

I agree with this but having worked in the public and seen the stupidity of some people that are a lot older I would question it.

Just spotted ABC News using 6 News coverage of today’s police fatalities in Queensland.

Seems very odd. It’s like why aren’t they asking Seven to send them clean vision? I think Sky was on opinion shows when a lot of the breaking news is on so I guess they were looking for vision (any vision) elsewhere.

Tbh I’ve had to stop following 6 on Twitter, almost everything I see on there is political.
No hate, but maybe add some other news stories rather then mostly politics? Just an idea.
Also I don’t think the Narracan supplementary election needed rolling coverage, maybe a quick news bulletin for it when a result is clear.

An example of the kind of bulletins you’ll now see on 6 News - properly-timed (ie 30 minutes or an hour (though I know this one goes a bit under 30) - with a focus on the latest breaking news and original reporting
Some new promos at the end of this one too

The outro is still over a minute which can be better utilised by actual content as most people switch off. It should be no more than 30 seconds especially on a timed bulletin.
