Reaction
This event marked the third year in a row the ABC provided the official coverage. The network's broadcast was panned by viewers, described as "pathetic" and "cringe-worthy", and the worst coverage of the former years the ABC has held the broadcast rights.[1][2] Ratings were comparable with the previous year for the midnight fireworks, however the 9pm family fireworks were down around 18 percent.[3]
