    ABC breakfast is a great morning news show, I’m glad they are giving the leadership spill the coverage it deserves and not just snippets between Hollywood gossip on sunrise and today …

  2. Rutzie says:

    At 8am this morning Sunrise skipped forward an hour so they could show it live into Brisbane.

  3. Brenton says:

    Sunrise is live in Brisbane today

  4. Bogues says:

    ABC might be the place to be, but ABC2 Breakfast is still on a one hour delay in Brisbane, as is Sunrise, Today and Ten News (as of 6am AEST). Guess it is okay for Brisbane to find out one hour later than the rest of the East Coast.

    Interestingly, ABC1 showed last Thursday’s 1pm special live into Brisbane (at midday).

    Ben: Given that the three commercial networks show news / morning shows all morning (except for two hours on ten), it is important that those people that haven’t moved to freeview have a choice for kids.

  5. Anthony says:

    I hope Abbott wins just so I can take great satisfaction in watching labor wipe out that arrogant, ignorant, bigoted twit.

  6. Danny Wu says:

    Be watching, go Abbott

  7. Jake says:

    As an alternative, Sky News is reporting all day on the spill, and on Seven News they said Sunrise was being extended for coverage – although The Morning Show will probably take over eventually.

  8. Ben says:

    It’s ridiculous they have one program on one station then the other on another. Breakfast should just be moved to ABC1.
