That desk is such an awkward shape for that space, the presenter looks squished behind the desk but looks better than sitting opposite the guest. Otherwise it looks great.
Not an attractive set or colour scheme at all
Luckily, it does change colour!
The election graphics and backdrops are getting an outing on News 24 this arvo. 3D trapezoidal patterns. Look really professional.
I’m not sure about the desk but the rest of the new Parliament House set looks pretty good. Excellent use of the tiny space and dare I say it, almost looks good enough to present an edition of 7.30 or Lateline in!

Who’s Judy Tierney? the name rings a bell!
As june approaches, the month when ABC HD is reintroduced and ABC news 24 will be in SD format, does anybody know the exact date of when it might happen?
ABC News 24 played the wrong episode of Planet America on Friday night. A newsreader broke into the show after 20 minutes and apologised and then continued with a news update. The correct episode was played this afternoon.

News 24 dropping the ball with QLD LNP spill coverage. Still haven’t managed to get a reporter in Brisbane to air since the results were announced. Would be very different if it were happening in NSW.

News 24 seems to be a little slow off the mark today. Nothing has been said about the Melbourne rally or protest groups clashing in the streets of Coburg.
Im finding the 7 Melbourne News Facebook page is the the best outlet for local news these days.
