LOL. I see you mention another amazing Labor piece of electioneering luck that was the timing of the election campaign and the ABC's new 24hr news going to air.
----------------------------------------
For example, on the first full day of the ABCs new 24-hour news station yesterday, the broadcaster failed to put Tony Abbott live to air to announce the oppositions policy on border protection, opting instead to run a story about cane farming.
By contrast, when Julia Gillard gave her speech on climate change yesterday, ABC News 24 was there. The whisper around town is that even ABC boss, Mark Scott, wants to know how this could be allowed to happen on the stations first day. Sky News showed both events live. ..
