The ABC’s Parliament House bureau has a bug problem

Journalists covering federal politics for the ABC are dealing with another kind of creature: moths.

cricket The ABC’s Canberra Parliament House bureau is dealing with a flood of swamp moths, it can exclusively reveal. Multiple sources with knowledge of the public broadcaster’s facilities have confirmed that it is a common occurrence to see many different brown bugs flying around the office.

“Like many, all the time,” a source said.

Moths are often seen flapping their wings in a futile attempt to escape by crashing into the office’s large, closed windows that cannot be opened.
