The ABC’s Four Corners was the only show in town last night, viewed by a bigger audience than The Block or Junior MasterChef.
Forget The Block (1.11 million, forget SAS Australia (859,000) and the final of Junior MasterChef (1.08 million program average), the only program Australians wanted to watch last night was Four Corners (1.18 million) and the amazing story on sex, Liberal Party hypocrisy and the Canberra bubble.

And didn’t you just love Malcolm Turnbull’s revenge, which he followed up on Q&A with an appearance watched by 685,000 (and an elaboration) after Media Watch with 1.03 million.
