You’ve just contradicted yourself.
There’s a heap of reasons why presenters may be unavailable; reporting, in-depth specials, sickness, leave etc. The budget that ABC had in years gone by has gone.
They’re just spreading resources around more efficiently.
Not at all.
But agree that the ABC doesn’t have the budget to deal with absences or other unforeseen circumstances.

Would anyone know why Greg Jennet doesn’t say Yuma good evening and yarra good night. And has anyone else noticed the new sound for the intro
Yes - as discussed here
And here
Did Glenday? Feel the only person to do that consistently was Bourchier, who personally made it a thing. But because it’s Bourchier it always felt forced and incredibly unnatural.
James, Jade, Dan, and Adrienne have all said it
Guess he chooses not to, maybe he feels it’s not appropriate.
Do other ABC newsreaders outside Canberra use indigenous language in their presentations?
I don’t think so - I think either it’s a decision by the local team, or they don’t do it in other states/territories due to them being broadcasted across multiple language groups (unlike the ACT).
Correct me if I’m wrong but I think it may have something to do with the fact that it’s generally said by Indigenous presenters according to their heritage/state. Dan Bourchier is Indigenous (although I think he’s from Darwin) and it seems like he’s greeting them using the local language in the Canberra area. Not sure if Adrienne Francis has Indigenous heritage but could be possible.
Narelda Jacobs always greets the audience with a ‘Kaya’ when she presents as that’s the equivalent of ‘Hello’ in the Whadjuk Noongar people who are the First Nations people native to Perth.
Hope that makes sense.
No. I’d never heard of it being used until seeing on these forums that Canberra uses it on its news.
No, nor do they have such extensive acknowledgements of country at the start.
It’s not doing the ABC any favours, will be taken the wrong way outside the far left circle, Canberra isn’t completely left wing either.
She said at the end of the bulletin that she would also present on Saturday night.
Alexandra’s newsreading is a bit stiff at the moment, but she’s new to it so let’s see how she goes. Good on ABC for giving her a go.
Tamara remains Queen
