There has been a few on Today Tonight lately… The guy with the IP, that the foundation was built on a tip and all the floor was pulled up… and the one where a Pool was built over two seperate blocks of land owned by different people…
I watch it nightly,
Regards,
Arty.

Hi,
I’m probably biased because I work at 9, but (and I know Steve appeared on it) I can’t stand Today Tonight… stories on killer corn flakes and what detergents will get my clothes whitest… miracle weight loss etc etc… this is not current affairs. I’m not saying it needs to be like the ABC or SBS, but most of it is garbage, and when they do stories on PI it’s only ever possible to skim over things… At least ACA has tried to change its ways a bit lately since Ray has been back, but there’s still much work to do there as well…
my two cents

westan,
are you implying the two shows COPY each other sometimes? goodness gracious me…
yes they are both shockers sometimes… but for some reason the ratings are ok for both, so go figure! []

Media is always based on selling a good story.
but the one with the swimming pool across a property boundary has got me, and the ruling that the pool should stay because it cost a lot to build. It does’nt even have a permit!
does that mean, we no longer have any control over our land boundaries?

Hi Richmond, did you hear they are letting 40 employees go at channel 7 in Qld? They had a funny skit on B105 (FM radio station) about it. The Janitor read the news, and Ground Force could only afford one happy plant in the middle of the lawn![]
