An ABC newsreader was dramatically taken off the air last night after a bizarre rambling incident.
Audio was later published on social media, and the newsreader could be heard yelling "f**k off" halfway through a piece about Queensland's coronavirus outbreak.
When the prerecorded piece ended, the newsreader took a long pause before struggling through the second story about China.
A second "f**k off" rang out before the bulletin quickly changed to a female newsreader.
