No. Its a PM visiting a war zone - its not like they’re going to publicise it widely ahead of time and there would have been all sorts of security and logistical considerations.
Seven had Chris Reason there before the PM arrived… but from the looks of it, he was the only Australian Television Journalist there?
It’s an achievement for Seven and Reason to get this lead.
O&O’ed stations in the US usually have big mics

Who is BNO news?
They’re a newswire service. Others are picking up the story now too. NHK World have just interrupted programming to announce the death.

CNN slow to cover the update - still reporting that he’s in a critical condition while Fox/Sky/BBC/NHK are reporting his death

Given that the hospital news conference reported his death at 6:03 PM AEST, no need now to qualify reporting with "reports ".
During 6pm news
