She wants the hoop moved. In A Current Affair's most-watched new upload, Sydney resident Michaela shows reporter Nat Wallace the wall beside her bedroom and describes the noise and vibrations from basketballs striking it.

Her requested solution is specific: relocate the hoop away from the shared wall. The report also covers police involvement and an application for an Apprehended Personal Violence Order, making this more than a disagreement about shooting practice. "Backyard basketball sparks neighbourhood feud | A Current Affair" has drawn about 43,000 views.

It was one of 15 uploads in a week that gave Melbourne Cup viewers two very different stories. Trainer Ciaron Maher reflected on delivering victory for Ethan Brown and Point of Law, while the programme's rate-rise report followed mortgage holder Lauren as borrowing costs increased again. That borrowers' story currently has the channel's strongest daily viewing momentum, followed by the backyard basketball report and Maher's interview.

Across the channel, weekly viewing reached roughly 2.5 million views and subscribers edged upwards. Daily viewing is currently well below its usual level, though the weekly views gain was larger than those of nearby broadcasters including BBC Politics and Face the Nation.

There was a lighter stop among the investigations and household pressures, too: paramedic Stu, whose enthusiasm for meat raffles has brought him hundreds of wins.
