Seven West Media / Channel 7 Footage on Borders Security Series

I am complaining regarding the footage shown on Borders Security Australia. The incident happened 14 years ago. The individual affected was wrong, acknowledged that she was in the wrong and It has not happened since.
This complaint is raised because the same footage kept being aired year after year and this has caused inconvenient for the rest of family members and reputation is at stake.
It has also caused the person being aired after repeatedly being shamed in public year after year for over 14 years experiencing social problem.
This is now has gone viral even through other social media channel "Tik Tok".
Please contact me on [protected] to professionally discuss this.
I can forward you the footage being mentioned once you have provided me with return mobile where I can fwd the footage to.

Seven West Media / Channel 7 Unethical behavior

Can't explain how pissed off I am this morning after watching 19/11/2021 channel7 and seeing an advertisement for Home and Away showing a coffin an actor inside and being buried by dirt alive by another actor.Actors being Rider and Theo with their stupid video challenges.After the response by Australians and news reviews on the series Squid Games and how these stupid bloody stunts portrayed on that series ended up in school yards around the world causing injuries and concerns.I cannot believe how stupid and dumb channel7 is for showing this sort of stunt or scene on one of its favourite tv series it is a total disgrace! And iI hope someone with brains in charge at channel7 will review this pathetic nonsense and put a stop to it before it airs on our screens!

Desired outcome: Some use of brains and common sense,This sort of [censored] should not be shown on tv

Seven West Media / Channel 7 Home and away

I am not happy with the way this show is going in major the character of Theo he's character is abusive arrogant manipulative and destructive he upsets people get in the way of other peoples relationships and is a rude character. and it doesn't reflect the way teenagers should behave in these modern days. my teenage children watch this program and the first thing they ask me is that not right to do what he's doing and I say yes it's not appropriate to disrespect adults and not to disrespect your friends, either way. to bring in a teenage destructive character is a wrong approach to cause conflict and bullying between characters. in saying that I don't blame the actor I blame the writers for doing this please stop or I will stop my children from watching this show forever bad bad programming. ow and I don't like it either if I was an adult on the show I would have pulled him right inline strate away

Desired outcome: carm this character down now for the sake of the show

Yehhhh so that's how characters work sometimes, they get added to the show as bad and then they get turned around for the better. Maybe your kids shouldn't watch the show, you seem very overly sensitive. Just stick to paw patrol or something.

I fully agree, this show should not be on in prime time it should be put on at a later time, a PG Rating is not good enough for this lowly put together load of crap on our TV, You have, people being abused, threatened, fighting, punching, and car chases and people being shot at and how many more fathers are going to turn up claiming they have a daughter or son in the show, and then we have the morality side where we have girls and males sleeping with whom they want, and when the boyfriend or girlfriend find out, the threats and abuse start, one show showing a male in bed the girl opens the caravan door, she has another male with her, and the one in bed basically invites them to join him.
There is no family values on this show and it should be taken of tv or put on at midnight.
I have no doubt that this will be archived, but be assured I will be doing my best to make sure this crap is taken off our air.
As I have now made a complaint to you, I can now go to the censor and further my complaint .

Seven West Media / Channel 7 The Chase

Tonight I am watching the Chaser, I have been watching this show for a long time. I was happy they were giving Larry a go at the Chase as I love him on The Morning Show. Please Please Please bring back Andrew O'keefe, dry him out, he was so much better and fairer than poor old Larry. I understand that Andrew has his demons I wish him well in his fight to control them, Andrew is an entertainer. I didn't like Andrew on Sunrise, he was too intrusive and opinionated, but he has a way about him in delivery of questions asked in the competition. He is clear and fast. Where Larry is too slow on the delivery for the contestant and still slow but faster in delivery to the Chaser. It is cringe worthy to watch. I am on the verge of changing channels, I have friends who totally agree. While you have control of the shows, I appreciate that, we have control of our remotes.

Desired outcome: Take this as a avid channel seven viewer

Seven West Media / Channel 7 The Chaser

Why does the host of The Chaser speak slowly when asking contestants question in the qualifying round, and again in the final chase, yet accelerates the speed of his voice when asking questions of the Chaser.
It is pretty clear that you have skewed the programme against the contestants and this deliberate "cheating" has made the programme very unintersting.

If you do not believe me then watch an episode and use a stop watch. That will show you clearly that you are doing everything in your power to limit the opportunity for winning by the contestants.

Desired outcome: Fix this up

Seven West Media / Channel 7 Channel 7 (Sydney) Saturday coverage of racing in Sydney and Melbourne

The 7 network broadcasts racing exclusively on Ch. 78 but on Saturday covers both Sydney and Melbourne thoroughbred racing. My complaint refers to the inferior coverage on Sydney's Ch.7 on Saturday.
Repeatedly this coverage keeps the viewer waiting over 20 mins before results of a photo finish are displayed. Likewise, dividends follow, sliding quickly across the bottom of screen, again, at least 20 mins after completion of race.
Why is it that on Channel 78, placings and dividends are posted and fixed on screen almost immediately, except with photo finished. The full dividends, including exotics (trifects etc) are displayed in a fixed position within a few minutes of completion of the race. Why is the coverage on your major channel so INFERIOR?
The difference in presentation of results and dividends is so stark that I'm wondering whether anybody is conversant with the priorities of those who wage bets on horseracing.
It's incredible that this obviously inferior presentation has gone on for years.
Could you please give me a reason to remain watching coverage of the Saturday racing on your channel.
Thanks.

Desired outcome: The obvious

Seven West Media / Channel 7 Channel 7 Perth

Seven West Media / Channel 7 Advertisment unethgical

Please take it off.

Seven West Media / Channel 7 Political advertisement with anti COVID vaccine message

The United Australia Party ad falsely claims COVID vaccine related deaths. This ad is dangerous and misleading.
WA is already behind in vaccinations compared to the rest of the country. This ad promotes fear and suspicion and may influence the already vaccine hesitant.
The ad promotes a political party encouraging membership whilst making false claims.

Desired outcome: Remove the ad

I am appalled that Seven West Media still is willing to put money before the community's wellbeing. organisations like facebook are required to remove misinformation from their platforms. the requirement should be the same for other media sources.

Seven West Media / Channel 7 Ad by Craig Kelly for United Australia Party

Very concerned that the television channel is broadcasting ridiculous and unsubstantiated claims against vaccines. Saw one of these very offensive ads at 10.25pm (ish) on 30.09.2021 on the main 7 channel, during a documentary about a pair of UK serial killers.

The fact that you placed these ads on television at all undermines the various campaigns to save lives through vaccination and surely breeches common decency if not broadcasting regulations for a political ad.

Seriously disappointed that you would choose to prioritise profits over public good.

Desired outcome: Take the ad of TV immediately

Seven West Media / Channel 7 Antagonistic and sensationalist reporting

There is a major issue with the headline you used on the nuclear submarine story you ran this morning.
You used the headline, United front against China.
Not once did Prime Ministers Johnson & Morrison or President Biden say China.

This kind of "reporting" does not help an already fragile relationship between Australia and the current worlds Superpower, China.

Your reporting this morning continually mentioned China, when it was not once mentioned by any of the 3 leaders.

You appear to be fabricating the news rather than reporting the facts.

Seven West Media / Channel 7 7+

Your 7+ service is atrocious.
Way too many, too often, damn commercials.
You don't even pause the show I'm watching before you head into ANOTHER commercial.
At least pause the show like other streaming services.
Getting real tired of it after only 2 days.
Can't see me continuing.
😔 😔 How Australian companies can't compete with overseas companies.

Desired outcome: Pause the shows while in commercials.

Seven West Media / Channel 7 AFL

AFL Preliminary finals:
Expert commentators
M. Richardson and Justin Leppitch were excellent! 10/10. They come across as insightful and articulate. Most importantly they do not talk too much, do not repeat what has just been seen and never talk over the the game in process. This is not the case for some of the other commentators. For the first time in the finals I did not have to "mute" expert comments. Give your best commentators the important games.

Seven West Media / Channel 7 Guy Sebastian

I am filing a complaint against one of your employees, Guy Sebastian for his recent retraction of support for the #Vaxthenation campaign, thus giving voice to antivaxxers around the nation.

For someone who works on 'The Voice', it is important Guy understands which voices need support and, and those that should not be given airtime.

I would not wish it upon Guy to lose his work over this, but I think it is important Channel 7 suggest an apology be made by Guy for his retaction, so Australia can work towards a open, thriving, and Vaccinated nation.

Kind regards
Paul

Seven West Media / Channel 7 AFL Finals Commentators

Good afternoon,

I'm watching the AFL Finals between Brisbane and Western Bulldogs. I'm absolutely disgusted at the half time commentators comments and behaviour towards Perth's commitment to being COVID safe! Laughing and joking because Optus Stadium undergoes cleaning to prevent the spread of a virus that is killing people is appalling and disgraceful. It's attitudes like that which is fueling the spread of COVID in NSW, Queensland and Victoria. People are dying and they are laughing.

Seven West Media / Channel 7 Channel 7 australia afl coverage

I am finding the commentary very irritating. In particular, there is far too much "Daisy". Once per quarter is more than enough. Does anybody analyse the content of the commentary. I do not need to have explained to me repetitively and in too much detail what I have just seen!
It spoils the enjoyment of the game. The other commentators are good.
