A current affair is one of those shows with anything but 'current affairs' Unless of course you care about that person that got ripped off by their insurance company because they didn't read the small print or you're actually interested in the stories that a current affair uses to make sure you watch their channels and not the other channels shows. If you were to combine the entire crew of A Current Affair's common sense and logic, you would have less common sense than what your average garden gnome does. Information about the war? Politics? Crime? Well there is crime on the show, but only if its your unruly neighbourhood teenagers causing all the trouble. Murder? Rape? No way! Not on a current affair.

Oh and I so loved the story about the latest sunglasses in style. That story certainly was a 'current affair'

"ACA" is one of Australia's great comedies.

Where else can you tune in and get a daily dose of dodgy fridge repairmen, housos destroying housing commission property, white trash spewing vile hatred at each other, ads for the latest fad diet, celebrity suck-up pieces (usually when the celebrity is promoting their new album / film / perfume / whatever) and Brady Halls chasing yet another clueless crim (who are so stupid / broke they can't even get their faces pixelated) down the street while asking questions over-dubbed in the edit suite.

Tracy Grimshaw gets a special mention for reading this s h i t off the auto-cue while looking genuinely concerned and without out cracking up in laughter.

They have picked at the marginalized in our society and when SBS produced the excellent "Struggle Street" doco, they couldn't believe it wouldn't be an ACA hatchet job (which it wasn't). Yes, they have picked at the scab of racism and every other "ism" for that matter; and yes, some people believe them in a literal sense (?) If you have time, switch over to ACA to see what the housos are up to and who Brady Halls is chasing down the street tonight... I guess it's a bit like a traffic accident.. you know you shouldn't look but you can't turn away...

A 30 minute Australian current affairs show that when it started was a platform for serious journalism. However, through the years and currently as of 2018, it is a tabloid journal filled with populist tripe.

Absolute trash and drivel. When you watch this you can literally feel your IQ dropping.

Great Australian comedy. 1 star for it's farcical journalism.

How uncaring of ACA to follow up the report on the Australia volunteers in Ukraine putting their lives at risk in the war torn country, with sobbing cruise passengers emotional because they have missed cruising during the last 2 years. Get real about the matters that really matter in this world.

A current affair is just simply a trash reality television show pretending to be journalistic or important.

Sums this show up perfectly!! Unnecessary and Unwarranted as they keep doing an Unnecessary story on Hillsong every year and they've done Nothing wrong but media like ACA has to create a story as they have nothing good to report on!!!

This is the worst Tv show in australia mostly just for old bags and Karen's to complain, the reporters bully the public and lie about people businesses.

Ironically a show that has storyline's about helping people more like exploiting them for ratings and stories, actually leaving them worse off #carcon these leeches along with #carsales promised to fix my car instead left us a dangerous undrivable car and in total $11,700 out of pocket. No response from ACA, Reid Blue Eyes Bulter. Yet the very producer was horrified by the treatment and conduct of CarSales and ACA considering I was on a walking stick and young son! You are a disgrace to journalism if you could call yourselves that. You did more damage than the PoS car dealer #topdealmotors and his fraudulent RWC violent mechanic!

Hope you're proud of yourself because I was forced to sell that car $275 for scrap after being conned by ACA and CarSales head management!!!

Good job a current affair for helping deal with issues with tradies, etc.

Over-hyped, over-sensationalised, drawn out garbage.

A Current Affair was a typical clone of all of the Current affairs shows in Australia. Stories were frequently the same with a few different details. This nightly current affairs show was made of dodgy businessmen, miracule drugs, battlers who are being picked on by the authorities and anything that gives them a chance to show some gratuitious nudity or senseless violence. The only thing worth tuning in for was the weekly segments made by John Clarke and Bryan Dawe. Highly satrical mock interviews, characteristic of John Clarke's style make ACA worth watching (or atleast tuning in for the last 5 minutes).

Will we ever know the trauma, mental health damage, financial ruin and possibly even suicides of people bullied and dragged through the mud by shows like these?

They only tell one side of a story, most times. They seem to have a set formula for tge year. The bad neighbour, rip-off trading, bad tenant, bad landlord (less often than bad tenant), fighting within a family, crime-ridden poor neighbourhood, lazy unemployed plus, plus any other one-suded anxiety/ outrage inducing story about poor people or poor people being ripped of by other poor people.

The people who watch this merde are just as bad, in my opinion.

An Australian current affair program.

The quality of news and current affairs programs is typically quite poor, relying on fear mongering and general misinformation and disinformation plus the stupidity of the general public to get and maintain viewership.

A Current Affair makes all those shows look positively honest and award-winning, taking fear-mongering and bs to absurd heights/depths. Between uninformed, populist attacks on businesses, going after tradies, shoving microphones and cameras in the faces of neighbours they want to shame, there is nothing they won't stoop to.

Sadder still is that there's people out there who believe their crap.

Every time this show comes up next after 9 news all they do is show negative topics about innocent people in their everyday lives with fights, bullying, discrimination, protests, financial problems and showing troublemakers against these innocent people. The fact that this tv show also shows disturbing moments over the years is one hundred percent ridiculous full jokers and they make viewers feel sorry for these anonymous innocent people said it now for the third time all i want to say next is the Australian media has become all for clout just like the us, uk and canada. I don't know how people still watch rubbish tv to this day.

Great comedy show. My favourite episodes are the ones when they expose all them dodgy builders that rip off pensioners and stuff. They also have a regular segment where they talk about a great new miracle diet closely followed by a segment about eating disorders. They have a great long running gag where they expose welfare cheats as well as a light hearted rags to riches story every so often. I also really like the bits where they pretend to do a slightly controversial story about a tv show or something about a tv show which also happens to appear on channel 9. Not quite as funny as frontline or the bolt report but better than Alan Jones.

PLEASE LET TRACE GO AND KEEP DEB ON. Tracey is so depressed all the time and it's just hard to view.

Dumb and Dumber was not just a movie. I remember a notorious 'investigator' ? What a bully that man was. If I could name him without risk I would. Then I recall a Media Watch episode where they had discovered that ACA had broadcast more stories about women's bras than any other topic, including the old standards such as dodgy builders, dole bludgers and fighting neighbours, in an entire year. But some good came from this utter garbage and that was the sublime and all so accurate Frontline - now there was an awesome show created by talented and intelligent people. IMB has ACA's approval rating of 2.1 out of ten. So, there is hope for mankind although one wonders who were watching to get a score at all. But two people left 10/10 as a joke. Please don't do this as then the true score 1/10 would be attributed to this shameful garbage of a program and often a harmful one as well. How people can associate themselves with such vile content is beyond comprehension. This show should have been dead and buried decades ago. Those who have worked on this production since the days after Jana Wendt left should hold their heads in shame. They have no regard for decency at all. Zilch!

What a sad situation this dire rubbish is still on air - yes, a current tragic affair.

The most appalling and disgusting faux 'News Affairs' program ever.
