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).
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!!!

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.

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