ABC…The only Channel for Accurate Election Coverage ! (I really don’t know why the other TV Channels bother)
That team, an Alan Jones-free zone, no commercials, and the analyst that the commercial networks watch on the side. Not a hard decision to make here. Just hope the ABC IT people have Antony’s gizmo working properly for him this time.
ABC has the best panel, so much knowledge combined, my tele will be on ABC all night. We’re having a BBQ, drinks and nibbles, just hope it doesn’t turn into ‘Don’s Party’, and I’m awake to watch Barrie’s final hosting of Insiders.
I’m told not his final.
Oh okay, maybe he’s going to hang around until the post-election dust settles. Thanks David
