Tony Abbott loses ratings battle to Julia Gillard on The 7pm Project

Ten’s The 7pm Project co-hosted by the leader of the opposition Tony Abbott pulled in 32,000 fewer viewers than the same show hosted by prime minister Julie Gillard the previous evening, according to preliminary metro ratings from OzTam.

Angry Boys dropped to its lowest figure yet for ABC, pulling in just 453,000 – not far off one million viewers less than its debut in May – and now rates just above 6.30pm with George Negus on Ten.

Ten’s Masterchef won the night, attracting 1.620m, while 1.309m tuned in to watch The Block on Nine.

A lotto draw included in Top Design helped the Nine show pull in 1.156m.
