Neighbours is showing on TVW7 at 5.30pm. Noting the synopsis, my guess is that the episode dates back to mid-1986 – making Perth almost two years behind the eastern states.

Foreign movies, most likely European, were usually cheaper than the usual US movie packages, so the 0-10 channels I think in particular were a bit more partial to them but more likely in late night or off-peak timeslots. But IIRC they were mostly dubbed, @PaddyTePou states it was subtitled. I think subtitled movies on TV were less common.
A very heavy sports load on WIN Territory with V8 Supercars from Adelaide, the 2003 Cricket World Cup match between Australia and India from Johannesburg, South Africa, the Australian Swimming Championship Highlights from Sydney Aquatic Centre, the Malaysian Formula 1 Grand Prix and the Rugby League match between the Warriors and Bulldogs.
I cannot remember the 2003 Cricket WOrld Cup Final broadcast, but I assume that Nine used the likes of Richie Benaud, Ian Healy and Chappell.
I’ve always wondered why Seven kept The World Around Us at 6.30pm rather than doing Live AFL Double Headers on Saturdays (one match at 6.30pm, the other one at 9.10pm). SA matches might be a stretch, but WA matches would fit. Or even a live interstate game then full delayed game from Vic.
I think they preferenced Nine to be first because TV Week had a loose affiliation to the Nine Network. so then they just listed the 3 commercial channels – with 9 first – and then ABC.
The Age Green Guide I think did similar, listing 9, 7, 2, 0 until the 1980s when they decided to run the channels in the correct numerical order.
World feed commentary, Benaud, Greig and Healy were 9’s representatives but they were alongside Ravi Shastri, Sanjay Manjrekar and “local” Mike Haysman (who emigrated following the Australia rebel tours in the 80’s). There were 1-2 others.
