Go Back To Where You Came From final 76,000 up on Tuesday’s premiere
SBS’ widely debated three-part documentary Go Back To Where You Came from finished with its highest audience and ranking for the week, pulling in 600,000 metro viewers and ranking 19th most-watched.
An elimination episode of Masterchef won the night with 1.51 million but was the only Ten program in the top ten, according to preliminary metro ratings from OzTam.
Thursday night’s episode of The Block – the last of the four elimination rounds – pulled in 1.13 million, slightly down on the previous night. It ranked third most-watched which was its highest for the series.
Nine won the night with five shows in the top 10 with a 21.2% share.
My heart weeps for those living in tents when 1.1 million of us watch The Block and only 600,000 tune in to #GoBackSBS
Found ‘Go Back..’ riveting viewing. Sure it was biased, so what, the rest of the media have painted refugees as criminals so it is about time a balance was made.
Very well put Matt. But, sadly, not much of surprise.
‘Go Back’ was brilliant TV, and I made my kids watch.
Maybe a commercial station could buy it for a song and show it to the rest of Australia. Could be a low cost ratings winner for them.
“it’s” = “it is”
“its” is the possessive adjective.
You’re supposed to be bloody communicators.
Hi Chris,
Thanks for your comment.
Unfortunately my pinkie finger tends to jump on the apostrophe key when bashing out stories in the morning. IT’S been a long week and IT’S all sorted now.
Cheers and have a good weekend,

Shock! Horror! Some non-white people are really nice but live in 3rd world conditions! Quick let’s fly them all in, teach them English, school them for 10-12 years and give them a house and welfare until they get on their feet ($300 per week for 10-12 years should do it). Of course many of them will drown on the way over, and we may let in a few Taliban, but hey-ho our lefty good intentions make it all ok. grrr those racist righties.
Of course I didn’t expect this show to address these or any of the other real issues around completely abolishing our immigration policy. Pure propaganda and something that should only be confined to a student’s youtube stream.
Bit surprised it was only ranked 19th – I think that’s a real shame.
The best thing of course is it is keeping the whole debate front of mind for many, regardless of what side of the fence you sit on.
Good passionate debate should (hopefully) lead to good outcomes.
Hat Tip to you all at SBS and those affiliated/involved.
Yes SBS and lefty bleeding hearts rejoice!! Makes the heart warm. Pure refugee propaganda!!
But I would advise Australian women who get sexually assaulted by men from some of these cultures to start suing the govt. for allowing in people who simply cannot and will not adjust to our ways.
I had a relationship with an African man for 6 years. A very nice man in so many ways. However, he has such a deeply ingrained and terrifying attitude towards women that I find the current situation with refugees and immigration just simply terrifying. I am very scared for my country.
