Yet another example of ABC incompetence!!! They should be shut down!!!!!
Either they had their facts wrong or I misheard them. Perhaps it was the tallest when it was built? Perhaps towers - meaning steel frames rather than enclosed buildings - weren't being counted (and all the buildings are post 1965). Perhaps it was just parochialism gone mad. Anyway it is more than likely the tallest thing I'll ever see come down, unless Centre Point is ever demolished. There is a video
here.
BTW at least the ABC covered it live. From what I heard anyone relying on the commercial stations didn't have a clue what was happening.
