English standard

I refer to the episode on 31/10/2023. At 16:07, the news report says “Anthony Albanese visited Bundaberg this morningk”

Yes, she pronounced “morningk”, not “morning”

It is not the first time I have heard a young ABC reporter gratuitously adding a “k” sound to “ing”. I have given similar feedback to ABC before.

It is sad to see such noticeable decline in English, not to mention poor quality control in public news broadcasting.

BIAS is clearly notable

For a news service that is paid for by all Australians and is government funded, it is exceptionally leftist, anti Christian.
