Latest Queensland promo - “The spirit of your number one news”. Don’t see the connection myself, but I suppose there doesn’t have to be any logic to these promos.
I’m telling you, ask Nine to stop using these NBN News tagouts for national stories anymore. QTQ could’ve just duplicated all national stories Brisbane is receiving without the hassle.
I know these newsrooms see a lot of death and devastation but are they so immune to the trauma of it that they think it’s a good idea to cover the Uvalde school shooting followed by a celebration of Australian comedy seconds later? And they’re so proud of their effort that they tweet about it. The writers of Frontline couldn’t come up with this shit.
This report is making waves in QLD - probably one of the only times the hype about a QTQ special report was almost worth it.
For anyone who hasn’t see the story - it detailed the exorbitant taxpayer spending of former (and convicted criminal) Ipswich Mayor Paul Pisasale and colleagues on a trip to Europe 14 years ago - the idea of the trip was to find inspiration for Ipswich innovation in Europe. The end result? A brochure.
I heard reporter Josh Bavas on ABC radio this morning discussing it - watch 7 and everyone else try to play catch-up tonight… it’ll be interesting how they do it because 9 had to RTI the documents they cited and the turn around for an RTI request is a lot slower than 24 hours.
