[edit] POV?

This article reads like a press release written by channel 9. I certainly don't consider him a good journalist. Anyone ever actually _watch_ ACA?

His pay packet and staying power all these years says otherwise.

Well, for one, he got dropped from ACA due to poor ratings. Against Naomi Robson no less. Are you saying she's a better journalist? He's a presenter, not a journalist. And the amount he gets paid is not any kind of useful metric for how good a journo he is. Personally, I think he's an absolute tosser, but I don't go writing that in the article. As it is, the article gives a pretty glowing description of him, let's not make it an all out glurge. Bumnut 00:41, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
