A teleprompter on ABC News in Australia has taken on a life of its own, travelling across the studio during a live broadcast.
During a recent segment on the news programme, Professor Anne Twomey was speaking about the upcoming Voice to Parliament referendum when the device started moving towards her as she sat at the desk.
As she was speaking, the teleprompter started sliding behind her, with the autocue rolling with news of an arrest ready to be read out.
