    Are you serious. I think its a disgrace that the ABC weren’t going to show this when operationally it didn’t pose any problem to them (they’d rather show some crap movie and shelve this onto the digital channel that gets hardly any viewers). This is a major news event and as @JamesJ said, the Queen of Australia deserves to be shown on the Australian taxpayer funded broadcaster (after all, that’s part of their job…to broadcast huge national interest events).

  2. Even though I’m a republican I’m still watching these events. SKY News coverage on APAC is great, they should launch SKY News UK here (as a channel not on SKY News active)

  3. Like it or not, she’s still the Queen of Australia, and is only the second monarch to reach a Diamond Jubilee. Surely something such as this, which is at least topical, is better than some B grade film from the 70s!

  4. This is one of the few things I hate about ABC. They keep caving into small-minded interest groups like Australians for Constitutional Monarchy, evidenced by covering this celebrity extravaganza on ABC1 (which sensibly they weren’t going to do). But it could’ve been a positive if they dropped planned coverage on News24, because this isn’t news – it’s just pomp & ceremony for the sake of it.
