Rates, a Perth whale and fifteen uploads for 7NEWS Australia

The newest batch pairs a 15-year high for interest rates with a massive whale lifted off City Beach, on a channel past 1.6 billion lifetime views.

More than 1.6 billion lifetime views now sit on 7NEWS Australia's channel, and the network kept adding to the pile with fifteen uploads across the week. The freshest of them all arrived on Wednesday and were only an hour or two old when the week closed, so none has had time to find its crowd yet.

They read like a nightly bulletin taken apart. Interest rates hitting a 15-year high, framed against the housing crisis, sit beside a run of hard court and crime stories: a teenager killed in a learner driver crash at Elizabeth Vale in Adelaide's north, three people charged over the mistaken-identity murder of a student, a murder charge over two deaths in northern NSW, and key evidence in the Beau Lamarre-Condon murder trial. The one lighter item is a massive beached whale being removed from City Beach, the Perth stretch of sand on the Indian Ocean.

Overall the channel ran a little below its usual daily pace, and the subscriber count held still. That puts it in step with the other broadcasters of its size. CTV News, ITV News and AccuWeather all had noticeably softer stretches, with AccuWeather slowed the most, while 7NEWS stays third by subscribers in the group.
