The Chaser’s Election Desk takes on the Federal Election from 9pm Wednesday June 8th. -and they are threatening the longest desk ever.
A long election campaign needs a long desk. Other networks boast of explosive coverage, yet offer paltry election desks as short as 33 metres (Channel Seven) and 36 metres (Channel Nine — and that length is mostly for Karl to rest his beers on).
But only The Chaser offers a desk long enough to cover this year’s explosive marathon with truly explosive explosiveness.
Measuring a seat-analysingly enormous 263,814 kilometres in length, stretching from Hobart to Broome and winding through all 150 electorates on the way, and with a full time election blowhard stationed every 60 centimetres for no particular reason, only one desk is equipped for this stupendously protracted shit-fight.
The longest desk. The most explosive desk. The Chaser’s Election Desk.

“Even longer than Channel 10’s election night movie” – brilliant reference to several election night’s programming on Ten – although no harm doing “The Election Project” again with Hugh and Waleed as the key hosts
Oh please don’t. I’m sick of lame “comedy” trivialising important events in this country. Roy and HG and Clarke and Dawe’s “The Games” at the Sydney Olympics, The Chaser’s garbage at the last election, etc etc. Can’t the ABC get it through their thick skulls that the public are over “comedy” and don’t want taxpayer’s money wasted on it.
Yet it rates…… Clearly the taxpayer doesn’t mind!
Yes! How many episodes will there be David?
I think the plan is to do one post-election, so that would be 5.
This will be the only election program that I will sit thru from beginning to end.
Love The Checkout and The Chaser so I can’t wait!
Can’t wait.
No Chris Taylor? Is he too busy doing We Was Robbed with H G Nelson on Kinderling Kids digital radio?
