Updates tonight on Nine Melbourne have been pre-recorded and don’t have the result of the byelection. Pretty poor from the current number one news service.
Charles Croutcher on 9 Late News commenting on the Dunkley by election says, “Labor has had their knees bloodied but they got over the line.”
Oh ffs. What a load of shit. They increased their vote you idiot. And a swing against them… no it wasn’t, it was the previous One Nation vote that just went to the LNP.
Shows a total misunderstanding of what happened.
And the swing is a typical one that every government experiences in a by-election (except maybe for the Aston one in 2023), not like a blowout of 10% or anything. The Coalition certainly wasn’t exempt from it either.
Both Nine and Seven seem so ever partisan even though they portray themselves as ‘every angle’ in promoting political coverage.
Can Nine Melbourne seriously make up their mind on their studio presentation. The weekend sport preview needs to be presented for the desk. It looks shit being presented from the left hand side TV screen area. And the backdrop needs to be zoomed out to what it looked like between 2009 and 2024.
Is 30 minutes really going to be enough to cover the entire state and the count, or is it just going to be focused on the Brisbane CBD? Either way, need go till at least 9pm.
