Herald Sun reports that Paul Higgins has been suspended from on-air duties at the ABC and an internal investigation is underway after he continued to go to work whilst awaiting results for a PCR test, when he shouldā€™ve been isolating.

The newsroom was stunned when Higgins stood up and announced he had just received a positive test, then proceeded to walk around the newsroom without a mask.

Iā€™d deduced he was the positive case, but wow, what a fool.

Iā€™d always thought he was a decent fellow but if true then WOW. The arrogance sounds quite astounding.

The article mentions how itā€™s well known heā€™s long desired to be the main news anchor. Youā€™d wonder if he kept his PCR tests quiet so he can simply stay on-air to keep reading the bulletin over summer.

Thatā€™s a pretty big thing there and if proven and true I can see that serious disciplinary action will need to be taken because if not itā€™s going to end up being a big thing but also very detrimental to the other staff around him.
I wonder what heā€™s been like throughout the whole pandemic then if that was his level of concern and then still continuing to be maskless - e.g. I wonder if heā€™s an anti-vaxxer or conspiracy theorist about it all or just as above wanted to keep in the job although Iā€™d imagine that would have been hard to do because somebody would have known he was positive and then going out on statewide TV kind of advertises that youā€™re not isolating!

You just canā€™t do that this day and age. If youā€™ve tested you should isolate until it comes back. Imagine everyone working and then a mask less person comes and tells you ā€˜Hey Iā€™m COVID positiveā€™. I wouldā€™ve been shook myself at that kind of situation.

If what he did was true then thatā€™s just not on, no matter which network or company he works for, it is a morally and ethically wrong thing to do in these times.
