Turmoil Hits Australian Broadcasting Corp. as Chairman Resigns
Australian Broadcasting Corp chairman Justin Milne has resigned, leaving a leadership vacuum at the national broadcaster after the board’s sacking of managing director Michelle Guthrie on Monday. Milne’s resignation follows revelations in recent days that he had ordered Guthrie to “get rid of” senior ABC journalist Emma Alberici and “shoot” political editor Andrew Probyn, both allegedly because then Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and his federal government “hated” them.
