Huh? The ABC app works perfectly fine on the google Chromecast with TV (the little white hockey puck one). Hell, it works fine on my $199 TCL (2GB) from OfficeWorks.
Or did you mean the generation before that (the one that looks like a fat USB stick), where you'd be casting from your phone?
The casting in the ABC app was pretty broken for a while, but I believe they redid it a few years ago.
