They’re just waiting for Pickering to top last year’s (or year before?) 2018’s “kill a cop” gaffe so they can gasp outrage

EDIT: sorry it was 2018. Gosh how time flies

The early show wasn’t well received by viewers with Casey Donovan lip-synching a performance on TV

What is wrong with Casey’s earpiece? She said something to the crew on the microphone.

The Daily Fail jumps the gun with the usual anti-ABC articles. It’s so bad that you’d think they were a satirical magazine instead.

I’d say the articles would have been pre typed a few days ago also. Like much of the trash coming out of that joint.

A select handful of noisy trolls on Twitter with nothing better to do more like it. My 5yo was glued to it.

The obligatory criticism of ABC’s NYE broadcast continues. It’s a tradtion. Didn’t mind the coverage this year and ABC is the home of NYE

Even the SMH looks for controversy even when there is none.

Anything on Judith Durham?

Vika and Linda sang Georgy Girl.

Drag Queens generally aren’t my thing, but thought the Divinyls and AC)DC covers were great.

I really don’t get the outrage, drag queens aren’t new, this one’s been around for a couple of decades and sang songs 30 and 40 years old that do have some risque lyrics I guess but have had regular airplay on commerical radio.

I suspect these handful of sad sacks get their jollies when lazy journalists trawl through Twitter to find their miserable tweets.

Trying to apply US culture war nonsense to other countries where it doesn’t effectively translate.
