Well that’s good to know. In NSW the kids are still at school until Friday - after then you’ll probably see many presenters go on holidays for a couple of weeks!

Sunrise and Today recorded the same metro audience numbers on Tuesday as Monday morning - so that’s another 100k win for Seven’s team. In an amazing coincidence the total News Breakfast audience across 2 channels also matched Monday’s result.

ACMA breach decisions on Sunrise stand
The Australian Communications and Media Authority welcomes a decision by Channel Seven to discontinue its court proceedings against the ACMA’s finding that a Sunrise ‘Hot Topics’ segment, aired on 13 March 2018, breached the Commercial Television Industry Code of Practice.
‘The decision to withdraw the application for judicial review is an important acceptance of the ACMA’s findings,’ said ACMA Chair Nerida O’Loughlin.
In August 2018, the ACMA found that the introduction to the segment claiming Indigenous children could ‘only be placed with relatives or other Indigenous families’ was inaccurate and in breach of the Code.
The ACMA investigation also found that the segment provoked serious contempt on the basis of race in breach of the Code as it contained strong negative generalisations about Indigenous people as a group.
On 4 April 2019, Channel Seven withdrew an application to have the Federal Court review the ACMA’s finding that the segment provoked serious contempt on the basis of race in breach of the Code.
Channel Seven has agreed to provide to the ACMA a court enforceable undertaking, in relation to sensitive and complex matters of this kind, to:
- commission an independent audit of the production processes for the current affairs content of Sunrise
- ensure editorial staff are provided with training in relation to identifying and dealing with such matters.
‘Channel Seven’s response to the ACMA takes account of the high threshold for this breach finding,’ Ms O’Loughlin said.
‘Remedial action must allow for the discussion of matters in the public interest, including extremely sensitive topics. However, these discussions must be done with due care, with editorial framing to ensure compliance with the Code.’

God the graphics package is all over the shop! Those side panel graphics are so mismatched. I think they are trying to tie in the pattern with the white checkered side panels that they have the blue uplighting on, problem is it all just looks a mess…
