ABC News Presenters and Reporters

Whoops! Apparently this was broadcast on ABC Victoria and New South Wales 7pm bulletins last night.

The iView copies have been modified to remove the offending super and an apology by the newsreaders near the end of the bulletin.

The Canberra, Tasmania and Queensland bulletins appear to have not been affected (iView has the correct super), despite the segment appearing to have been played out live from Canberra. Could anyone who watched/recorded the bulletin from those areas confirm this?

ABC News Special: A Big Mob in the House

Tonight at 7.30pm (NT only) on ABC & iview; then airing nationally on ABC News 24 & iview on Saturday 9 July at 3.30pm & 9.30pm AEST and Sunday 10 July at 12.30pm & 7.30pm AEST.

More than one billion dollars has been spent on Indigenous housing in the Northern Territory by various governments over the past eight years, but in many areas conditions are still appalling.

In an ABC News Special, Jane Bardon looks at what went wrong and what it may take to fix the problems.

The special will focus on three Indigenous communities in Borroloola; Elliott and Tennant Creek where living conditions for some families are third world.

“Infection can easily spread in the house when you’ve got a big mob in the house because the houses that we’ve got are not suitable.” - Heather Wilson, Elliott traditional owner and teacher

Hundreds of new houses have been built in other communities but the programs have been criticised as wasteful, slow and over budget.

Reporter Jane Bardon explores the deep ties that bind Indigenous families to their land but condemn them to overcrowded homes in disrepair;

“Because we’re not going to live in the city area, we’re not going to go to the city area, that’s not our life; our life is out here in the bush. This is where we belong.” - Nancy McDinny, Garawa traditional owner, Sandridge outstation outside Borroloola.

But the situation is not hopeless. ABC News Special: A Big Mob in the House looks at the lessons that have been learned so far and the plans to involve the communities in practical solutions to the crisis.

There are news studios at Southbank are being constructed for news and television. Studio 38 which produces insiders, breakfast, news and the world has been decommissioned. A new studio 38 is being built now. In the meantime programs have moved to Perth and Sydney. They will move back to Melbourne next month in a temporary studio until early next year when they move to their new permanent home.

But it’s rare for him to read a weekend bulletin.

Not entirely unusual for a network to have their main newsreader on Sunday nights though. Juanita Phillips presents ABC News Sunday NSW, both Mark Ferguson and Peter Overton present the Sydney 6pm bulletin on Sunday nights for their respective networks…

True but withTamara on holidays Ian also presented Sunday night last week.He hasn’t had a day off so far this week which explains why he had two days off last week.

You’re right. Wasn’t thinking about the day of the week that you posted!

Tamara Oudyn is presenting Victorian bulletin this week.

Congratulations to rural reporter Daisy Hatfield who is now engaged to Queensland state MP Robbie Katter (son of federal MP Bob Katter).

Ian Henderson is back presenting Victorian bulletin this week.

Might be a stupid question but why have the ABC managed to keep Sunday morning production in Melbourne at Elsternwick but nightly news and breakfast has shifted away during the rebuild?

Hendo back in new studio in Melbourne tonight.

Damn. Was hoping they’d fix the messy video wall arrangement.

It looks terrible. It looks like all they’ve done is move the same mess of a set into a new space. Why does that video wall need to be on that weird angle ? Is there something behind there? It looks as though it should be set back so you can see more of the news set in that shot.

I believe this is a temporary set up for 5-6 months, until the new studio is completed.
