I agree 100% shazz.
But at least we’ll still get to see a ‘sccaaannnmm’! Haha
What annoys me is that there is an entire channel for the news and the ABC is still airing a portion on ABC1 taking time away from regular programming. I am really annoyed that the Checkout is off for a week for the opposition reply to the budget. That should be put exclusively on ABC News24 and leave The Checkout still on.
(Sshh, don’t tell The Project).
