Where's Michael?

Earlier this week we asked Where's Dan when it came to providing some coverage of the results of the recent Canadian Elections. Equally relevent is the question "Where's Michael"? Referring to ABC's North America Correspondent Michael Brissenden. Seems his brief doesn't extend to the northern part of that continent, leaving ABC to rely on Reuters to fill the gap.


The same questions apply...
Is Michael taking a WEB (well earned break)?
Significant tax payers resources are expended keeping ABC's foreign correspondents in overseas postings. If they can't be relied upon to provide major news stories from their ports of call, why are they there at all?
