ABC radio this morning reported Angry Caller from Coffs Harbour who was copping >1hr delay and told this was due to "ATC strike", yet complained this strike had not been reported by news outlets. ABC contacted ASA who gave the reason being weather delays due low cloud, reduced visibility, and thunderstorms, in combination with ongoing staffing issues.

To ASA's credit, at least the mouthpiece didn't use the awful "non-availability of staff" claptrap. Or maybe ABC was paraphrasing.
