And 7 has gone to great lengths last night and this morning in their reporting to label the producer as “10’s star witness” and that he was trying to get back at 7.
I think Spotlight may just survive.

There were boycotts as such towards The Project in regards with that Lisa Wilkinson Logies speech. But it still remains. However, to be fair, the ratings for the show have been dire for some time now…
If Spotlight was a weekly show, rather than a “randomly thrown into the schedule on a random Sunday” type of show, then id say there would have been more outrage for its axe. I guess we will see what happens during the next week in regards to the court case - to see what happens with this show.
So far the ex-producer’s claims are still just allegations? Has anything been proven or admitted yet?
Documents submitted have been published now.
Documents published by the Federal Court website on Friday night detail the alleged wheeling and dealing that was taking place near the ACT Supreme Court before the trial was aborted due to juror misconduct.
I can’t see anything proven there at all.
Im not defending him or 7. Taylor is obvioysly a total dick who who has ruined his own career and is set on dragging everyone else down with him.

One could argue that through their unwavering desire to defend Bruce Lehremann, Ben Roberts Smith,and Craig McLachlan. The years they spent covering up Andrew O’Keefe’s issues. That whole Tim Worner/Amber Harrison saga. The Qld couple we are not allowed to name (accused of child abuse). The years of employment and promotion they provided for Wayne Carey, plus Ryan Phelan’s issues that Ch7 has done a pretty good job of “dragging” itself down in recent years.
They really are determined to be the “Good Blokes” network.

While I don’t disagree, I don’t think it was originally intended to be the beast it became. I think the idea was a bunch of standalone specials tied together under one umbrella, leveraging the 7news brand as a marketing tool. It evolved into Sunday Night 2.0 and here we are.
And while Nine and Ten act all high and mighty about airing Seven’s dirty laundry, we all know they’re not innocent. It’s salacious, it’s entertaining and it sullies competitors.

Tziporah Malkah goes to cops after details of topless pics emerge during Lehrmann case
Former model and actor Tziporah Malkah has made an official complaint to police after it emerged during Bruce Lehrmann’s defamation trial a topless photograph of her was distributed by ex-Spotlight producer Taylor Auerbach without her consent.
Ms Malkah, formerly the fashion model, actor and television personality known as Kate Fischer, has previously revealed she was “at her lowest ebb” when she spent Christmas Eve in 2019 in the company of journalists Steve Jackson and Auerbach.
Getting more focused on TA however it seems.

I noted that the item on the invoice attracted GST.

AFL is on Saturdays. Not sure it would be worth the production costs to air The Latest in one or two markets? If it ran at 7pm in Sydney the news would potentially be out of date by 11pm in Melbourne.

It’s an extraordinary amount of collateral damage for a case that, at the end of the day, will only determine whether Bruce has been defamed or not.

The biggest case of he said she said I’ve ever seen.
As each day passes, new claims are born.
When is the movie coming out?
