makes better use of the tiny space

Not a fan of that desk tbh

Not a fan of the desk either, or the wise shot from above but otherwise looks great, I really like the lighting color changes and different graphics to change the look.

In any case… The Canberra set shits all over the shoe box sky broadcast from.

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!

Between 6.00-9.00am News Breakfast will hear from local community members affected by the tragedy and speak to former Deputy Prime Minister Tim Fischer about the gun law reforms that followed.

ABC News Special (Tasmania only)

At 7pm (Tasmania only), join us for a special one-hour edition of ABC News, live from Port Arthur. Peter Gee and special guest host Judy Tierney will lead us through never before told stories and we’ll pay tribute to those in the community and their journey over the past twenty years.

I don’t get why the Tasmanian special can’t air on News24 at 7pm as well… It will be of national interest.

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.
