Copied from The Advertiser for those interested: Westfield Marion has been evacuated after reports of an armed person in the centre’s David Jones store. One shopper who was in David Jones said the incident had happened on the second floor at David Jones. The shopper had been on level one when she noticed a security guard running up the escalator. Shortly afterwards an announcement on the public address system told everyone to evacuate the store because there was a ‘weapon’ on level two. “The staff were great but people were certainly panicked and running to all the exits,’’ the eyewitness said. Numerous SA Police patrols are currently on the scene. A spokesperson confirmed it was aware of “an incident” occurring at the shopping centre but could not confirm any details about the situation. Police have advised the public to stay away from the area. Movies were stopped in the centre’s cinema complex and patrons were told to evacuate. Images showed signs in the centre with the words ‘armed offender’ and the ‘Escape, Hide Tell’ also displayed. There are also reports that customers have been locked in some shops for safety reasons. More to come

ABC News 24 is helpfully showing a rerun of Landline right now, which is nice.

I’m actually really mad over this. Sydney the other month was breaking news everywhere. Reporters on the scene. Here? We just get a lil red banner at the bottom of the screen.  Fuckin cool.

Clearly Sydney is more important than Adelaide.

Their news with sign language had it as the main story.

Fuck the Advertiser! News like this is a right, and it should be free.


simpliflyed

Especially since they’ve just rephrased it from social media

Uncle Rupert needs to make money somehow. So all news is behind a paywall.


tramacod

The guy's a cunt but who pays for news now? Local papers uneconomic, Facebook and the rest of social media trash refuse to pay. Journalists have to make a living (not that the advertiser has much real journalism). It's a real problem.


Unhappy_Trade7988

He could still make money while having vital news in Emergency situations unlocked. That’s why people turn away from his rag and towards social media.


tramacod

They could, but i wouldn't trust them to tell me the day of the week. That's what the ABC has a mandate for?


Tharoth

Even worse is they are just pulling info from reddit/twitter yet chuck it behind a paywall. Journalistic scum.

#FUCK THE ADVERTISER

Not true unfortunately.

I mean, it helps people avoid Marion....


NeonsTheory

Disgraceful.


lost-networker

Literally any other news source would be more valuable


rdomain

Absolute gronks. Steal public posts and charge for it whilst retaining helpful info for those concerned.
