On the extra critical aspect, the ABC’s International Correspondent shone a highlight on the enduring good work of environmental outfit Sea Shepherd.
One other Thursday evening the place life drifted aimlessly alongside on TV as we watched. Gogglebox Australia got here again for Ten with 607,000 nationally — OK, however nonetheless a pale (and fading) model of itself.
The primary AFLW recreation of the season — Carlton taking part in the Wobbles (who didn’t) — drew 192,000 on Seven and 56,000 on Foxtel. The NRL recreation — Parramatta whipping the Brisbane Broncos per week after Brisbane was flogged by the Melbourne Storm — averaged 581,000 for 9 and gave it a win on the evening over Seven, Ten and the ABC.
International Correspondent was worthy, attracting 398,000 for its story on fishing off west Africa, with the Sea Shepherd organisation among the many “white hats”. SS was attacked by the Japanese and the Howard authorities for campaigning in opposition to Japanese whaling within the Antarctic 20 years in the past. Howard and his trogs have gone — effectively, Petey Costello remains to be hanging round 9 and the Future Fund — however Sea Shepherd remains to be doing the higher work and making a better contribution.
