Wednesday TV Wrap: ScoMo’s Crooked Painting Becomes TV’s Top Talking Point

Viewers tuned in to the ABC’s venerable 7.30 last night to watch a combative Leigh Sales give the prime minister a post-Budget shredding.

However, it wasn’t ScoMo’s reply that caught viewers’ attention, rather a crooked painting behind the PM that caused all the social media chat.

The unnamed painting was the top trending topic of Australian news on Twitter, with viewers demanding someone stop the interview to straighten it.

Nine’s best was its 6pm news (868,000), ACA (776,000) and Hot Seat (486,000).
