What was the misconduct?
See:
Lions escape their enclosure at Taronga.
Ironically the next episode of Taronga Who’s Who In The Zoo features this lion enclosure (11 Nov) - surprised Nine haven’t pulled up that footage to show.
Update: Now reported that lions back in exhibit.
From Taronga: Who’s Who - deals with exactly this enclosure.
Update - 4 cubs were part of the 5 that escaped. They are the subject of the next Taronga show.
Updte:
Huge story unfolding in QLD. Police officers shot. Any coverage anywhere?
Sounds like there’s a police press conference in about 25 mins. Wonder if it’ll be carried live anywhere.
I’d imagine ABC will carry it, currently as breaking news on the bottom and Bev introduced it at the start with more details to follow as it develops.
This will be a big story in the next 12-24hrs
ABC are going live to the press conference soon.
I’m assuming Nine Late News will be covering this?
Where is Seven’s The Latest??
Seven ran a news update. The info wasn’t a lot more than was reported in the 6pm news. They are the only ones with vision from the area.
ABC news; 2 police officers dead plus one member of the public.
Statement is being read but no questions.
Confirmed three dead, including two police officers.
Still an on going incident. Apparently the offenders haven’t been brought under control yet.
Nine Late News clearly 100% live tonight.
SBS World News also had coverage on their late bulletin
Ironically the first main channel in Brisbane to report that 2 officers were shot dead was 10. Seven has not reported this in their update and Nine’s late news is an hour away.
What time was this update?
About 9:45 pm local time so it would have been first broadcast in Sydney I expect at 9:45pm AEDT.
Meanwhile, no other main channel reports in Brisbane until SBS Late News at 10:30pm. Nine showed a sports update.
Seven Sydney/Melbourne with no late reporting as well. Update - an update from Perth aired with out of date information.
SBS:
Really bad coverage from the media IMO, with delayed coverage in QLD and no Live updates. 6News did a better job tonight.
Seven got off to an excellent start but there was no major change in the story reported after the end of the 7pm news.
10:45pm and the teaser for late news just aired on Nine. They could have got a crawler on screen to stay tuned for the late news; they manage that for storm warnings. Though I haven’t seen one of those since the change to the presentation output, so perhaps they can’t anymore.
Update:
Seven aired a an update from Perth “two police officers are feared dead”. So out of date information.
