ACA’s segment on Muslim tourists on the Gold Coast was channelling Pauline Hanson at her best. “Kazbah on the Gold Coast”, “Burquas Paradise”, it was full of cliche’s such as paradise and pilgrimage.

Last night there was no MasterChef, back to normal transmission with Seven and Nine going at each other and Ten nibbling at the demos and doing well. But The 7PM Project had 1.199 million without MasterChef.

MasterChef was an all time high for a series program in Australian TV. Only the 2000 Olympics had a bigger audience.

608,000 people watched the introduction of the new ABC news 24 channel at 7.30 pm on ABC1. That’s about the same sized audience that watch a boring Thursday night episode for The 7.30 Report.

And now we have three left in MasterChef, with one to go tonight. And while Australia was watching Jimmy get flicked for cooking what seemed to be a very tasty number, there was Tony Abbott, with Kylie Minogue on Hey Hey its Saturday on Nine.

The federal government’s decision earlier this year to give the major commercial TV networks a $250 million rebate on their licence fees to help fund Australian content has been exposed as a complete crock.

The Reserve Bank will lift rates at its August 3 meeting if inflation shows signs of getting out of hand when the consumer price inflation figures are published on July 28. That, however, is not saying that the bank will lift rates.

Ten has bought the rights to a new UK program called Don’t Stop Believing. It was partly dreamed up by ad group, Group M Entertainment. Watch for the product placement on this little number with group M and WPP and their vast stable of clients involved.

Oh dear, there is an election. So Q & A will be full of political claptrap tonight, as will be The 7.30 Report and Lateline, and no doubt Lateline Business. Today Tonight and A Current Affair will discover that they are indeed current affairs programs, and chase our pollies.

Last night Hey Hey It’s Saturday was a flop, 851,000 watched. Only one episode to go, then they can rejoin 2010. 351,000 watched in Melbourne and that’s the reason it’s survived so long.

A normal night, a mega hit in the form of MasterChef dominates, but Ten doesn’t have enough to other solid programming (like Sunday night) to win overall.
