BOM has a history of adjusting to suit the narrative.

http://joannenova.com.au/tag/adjustments-to-data/

The BOM got caught this week auto-adjusting cold extremes to be less cold. Lance Pidgeon of the unofficial BOM audit team noticed that the thermometer at Goulburn airport recorded – 10.4°C at 6.17am on Sunday morning, but the official BOM climate records said it was -10.0°C. (What’s the point of that decimal place?) Either way this was a new record for Goulburn in July. (The previous coldest ever July morning was -9.1°C. The oldest day in Goulburn was in August 1994 when it reached -10.9°C).
Apparently this was an automated event where the thermometer recorded something beyond a set limit, and the value put into the official database was the artificial limit. Since colder temperatures have already been recorded in Goulburn, who thought it was a good idea to trim all future minus-ten-point-somethings as if they were automatically “spurious”?
Yesterday, the BOM have acknowledged the error and at first deleted the -10.0 figure, replacing it with a blank space. Then today, after Jennifer Marohasy’s post, they’ve corrected it.
You might think a half degree between friends is not that significant, but this opens a whole can of worms in so many ways — what are these “limits”, do they apply [...]

Haha, the ABC displaying its bias once again. How can they complain about Sky After Dark? At least SAD has former Labor MP’s on or hosting their own shows.
Both parties are in this up to their necks and you and the ABC are screaming “but Barnaby” like banshees.
What, for expecting he answer questions and for calling out his "blame Labor" bullshit?

How dare she be a journalist. Of course it was the Australian leading the whinging about her interview - they don't ******* have any journos themselves.

I have high hopes for Trioli - whether it's Q&A, Insiders or Mornings on ABC Radio, she won't be on News Breakfast next year, and she might just be the one to plough through this matey bullshit with politicians getting away with not answering questions and setting their own agendas because journalists have forgotten that politicians need journos more than journos need politicians.

I assume Trioli will put Shorten to the sword re-electicity policy cost, negative gearing and his claim that cars can be charged in 8 minutes. Not

UAP, but this feels like a pretty big clanger.

I don’t believe you, surely someone is having a laugh.

Labor have to say every card they hand out is printed on recyclable Australian paper and every shirt they make is made by Australian union workers. Basic practice what you preach stuff.

I got my first piece of political advertising in the mail today, surprising considering I’m in a marginal. Along with the political pamphlet I got happy clapper pamphlets.

No prizes for guessing which party’s pamphlet it was. Not sure it’s helpful to the party.

Not really a score for either party , at a stretch you'd say maybe a point for labor seeing we all know this slug will pref the lib mutts
Not really thinking it’s a score for either party. More like someone shanked an easy set shot in the VFL game being played out in the suburbs and I thought it was still worth posting.

his claim that cars can be charged in 8 minutes.
If only Frydenberg hadn't said it months ago as well, hey?

This is a vote winner - Shorten wants to talk about. So no, I don't expect she'll be asking him that.

People have short memories. Trioli has gone hard at Shorten and Bowen in the past, leading left wing voters to also call her biased.

Which is why I admire her. If you're hated by both sides in this pathetic, childish political context where people follow their "sides" rather than their values, I reckon you're doing something right.

Trioli will absolutely give Shorten an equally hard interview when she next has him on the show, cos she's bloody good at her job, and she's the one journo in Australia that constantly pushes back on their refusal to answer questions and reliance on falling back on stump speeches.

But it won't be over the issues you've discussed - it'll be his wishy-washy view on Adani that changes depending on which electorate he's in, and it'll be on his inability to articulate his own superannuation policy. And yes, lefties will cry that she's biased.

Nobby has broken my post down and refuted it in minute snippets! Yet Trioli remains a typical biased left wing hack the ABC is infested. I dont get it.

Ahh well champ. Labor will win. ABC funding will be restored. And it will get a whole lot worse

Maybe set your TV to Sky after dark, tune a digital radio into 2UE and then feed the remoteS to the dog.

Problem solved :)

Better still, give the remotes to the dog so he's not stuck with that garbage.
