ABC TV - disgusted

I am absolutely disgusted that over the past four days the ABC TV has spent much of its time covering the Gillard/Rudd leadership battle. And, although there is essentially nothing wrong with reporting this event, they did however repeat interviews that they had conducted with caucus members ad nauseam, flooding the air waves with inane material, such as footage of caucus members walking into the party room to vote and vision of a dozen or so journalists waiting in the hallway. Then after repeating Gillard and Rudd's speeches, their news events also included rehashed footage of the hours before.  Later in the evening Q & A repeated the event in another way, dissecting personalities and doing yet another post mortem of the leadership battle. Riveting material? I think not, considering a vital news event had unfolded the day before about the rolling strike throughout Victorian hospitals of nurses concerned about nurse/patient ratios. Wouldn't you think that the ABC could have spent some of its time interviewing Lisa Fitzpatrick, Secretary of the Victorian Branch of The Australian Nursing Federation to highlight the fact that the Baillieu government refuses to negotiate on nurse-patient ratios. On Sunday, 2000 nurses walked off the job and will continue these rolling strikes until a fairer ratio is established. I managed to watch the Australian Parliament Question Time, also on ABC yesterday and the most interesting question was posed by Bob Katter who wanted to know what the government was doing about the fact that many tomato growers were going out of business and that Coles and Woolworths controlled 80% of the market share in fruit and vegetables.
