David Jones was facing imminent voluntary administration after rejecting an offer from landlord Scentre Group, business reporter Zoe Martin says in 10's Late News. The retailer's financial trouble gives the bulletin a substantial Australian story beyond its opening coverage of the Democratic congressional sweep.
The chain dates to 1838, making this a crisis for a familiar part of Australian shopping history. In a subsequent report published on Thursday, 10 News says David Jones has entered administration after the landlord talks broke down, leaving thousands of jobs in doubt.
The late bulletin also addresses a more immediate irritation for Telstra customers: missed-call notifications arriving late and creating the impression of calls that never happened. Telstra says it is aware of the problem. Elsewhere, the broadcast reports job cuts at Canva and presents CHOICE's annual Shonky Awards, which highlight products and business practices the consumer organisation considers misleading or poor value.
The US election still occupies the opening stretch. Katherine Firkin reports on Democrats taking both chambers, while John-Paul Gonzo maps Senate gains and Chloe Bouras considers the implications for Australia, including inflation and the political cost of broken promises.
The full bulletin drew roughly 209,000 views since yesterday. For readers returning after 10 News' earlier election report, the added substance here is the domestic news, particularly the worsening position at David Jones.
