Don’t they have late national updates anymore? Or have those been cut?
Either way, surely they could’ve gotten a skeleton crew in Perth to rush back to put to air an update whenever there is an event like this

With the Winter Olympics currently having limited live coverage (and are often showing highlights), surely they can insert a news update from somewhere. Even from the handful of staff from Perth.
The session schedule would have told them there would be a gap.
But they simply didn’t prepare.
It broke during the Perth bulletins going to air. Was nothing reported by them?
Schedule update: Today will start at 5am tomorrow morning.
Usual 9am finish expected, but obviously we can’t say what’s gonna happen then.
as far as i saw, 7News Perth was still doing weather/fishing report and a normal signoff
Update from Perth 11:25pm AEDT during ad break in Olympics.
“Coverage will continue during the Today Show from 5am tomorrow”.

Why the hell is there no one in Perth capable of overriding these?
There was a live cross to Ben Downie in London during the bulletin, which went for 90 seconds or so.

11pm AEDT - BBC News with Maryam on-site, overriding the simulcast of BBC1 lunchtime bulletin and will continue through 5am. Then another presenter will take over until 8 or 9am.
The BBC1 bulletin had Ben Brown standing next to the “tower” with only a blaring-red background.
And just now, Sky unveiled its special branding. Dark, gritty, and I think we can work out the text is from the files.
Every now and then, the BBC News pushback would pop up a message saying a news special is coming up at 7pm GMT (6am AEDT).
I wonder what is on air right now then.
And so they should. They’ve obviously covered up for him but what else di they hide? There are still a lot of questions about the Queen paying off his victim and where the money came from.
