ABC Radio commentators Clint Wheeldon and Andrew Moore appeared on tonight’s 7pm bulletin in Victoria (first time I saw Andrew’s face on TV). Cross promotion for their respective preliminary final coverage perhaps?

Indonesia correspondent Samantha Hawley will return to Australia at the end of this year. She will be replaced in the role by 7.30 federal politics reporter David Lipson. Colleague Adam Harvey has returned to work as South East Asia correspondent after a period of rehab from the gunshot injury he suffered in Philippines earlier this year.
ABC News breached impartiality requirements
The Australian Communications and Media Authority has found that the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s ABC News breached the impartiality provisions of the ABC Code of Practice (the Code).
It is the first time since 2011 that the ABC has been found in breach of those impartiality provisions.
The ACMA’s investigation followed a complaint about a segment that aired in Canberra on 19 November 2016 covering historical child sexual abuse allegations against the late Dr Vincent John Adams Flynn.
The ACMA found that the ABC failed to gather and present news and information with due impartiality and thereby breached Standard 4.1 of the Code.
The segment raised several allegations against Dr Flynn. The tone and the language used conveyed the view that those allegations were true. The report contained no mention of Dr Flynn’s earlier and explicit denial of the allegations to the ABC. This omission added to the sense of prejudgment conveyed in the report. The ACMA did not review and made no findings in relation to the substance of the allegations.
The ACMA found that the ABC did not breach Standards 2.1 (in relation to accuracy), 5.3 (in relation to opportunity to respond) and 5.4 (in relation to attribution of information), which were part of the complaint investigated.
In response the ABC has added a statement, that Dr Flynn had denied the allegations, to a similar online report of the matter. This action has been noted on the ABC’s Corrections & Clarifications webpage in relation to the segment. The ABC has also discussed the ACMA’s finding with the reporter involved and circulated the ACMA’s investigation report to senior news management.
A copy of the investigation is available on the ACMA website version of this release.

Grant will also remain, fronting a prime-time news discussion show at 9pm on ABC News channel in 2018 and a half-hour late edition national news bulletin at 10.30pm on ABC. He also becomes Chief Asia Correspondent.
I have two questions relating to the above…How does someone who is obviously going to be in Australia Monday to Friday to present the nightly talk show and late news become Chief Asia Correspondent???
Also, what is replacing The Link on Friday nights… Hopefully 7.30 will be back?
