Darwin-based reporter Kristy O’Brien was mentioned during today’s Senate estimates hearing with ABC managing director David Anderson. From News Corp:

Earlier, the Senate estimates interrogation commenced with the ABC managing director being asked if he knew that the Northern Territory’s chief minister’s wife (Kristy O’Brien) worked at the national broadcaster in Darwin.

“Yes, I think I was aware of that. Yep,” Mr Anderson said.

He offered to “take on notice” finding out if the woman was given permission to “campaign” for her husband (Michael Gunner) and was now back in the newsroom reporting on current affairs.

A few of the faces of our ABC NEWS presenting line-up. There is more work to do, and it’s a priority across the ABC to reflect the diversity of the Australian community.

A post was merged into an existing topic: ABC Local Radio

Not sure why the post was moved, but ABC News in SA has lost another reporter, Ben Neilson who’s been doing a lot of work on News Breakfast and News Channel lately has signed off. They seemed to have a lot of cuts behind the scenes this year but this is probably the first face from TV I have noticed depart.
