Dear ABC, thank you for the privilege of working here.
Dear Listener, thank you for making it worthwhile.
I've read my last ABC bulletin and am leaving the building.
I wish you well.

Dear Listener,
With mixed emotions, I am preparing to leave the ABC & say goodbye as your radio newsreader.
It's been a pleasure and a privilege to be a voice you've listened to for more than 18 years.
My wish is that you remain informed, inspired, and above all, well.

Sometimes, I wonder whether I should have stayed at the ABC and kept fighting for the audience. It's distressing to see reports that suggest a continuing decline.

Since when does the ABC accept free trips??
Did ABC journalists by taking a free trip to Israel bring into question their ability to cover the story impartially? Apparently not. So why bully those signing a petition suggesting the media can do better? Journalists have opinions. Who would have thought?

The main aim of any news outlet/journalist should be to find and tell the truth.
There's obviously something huge going on in journalism: massive conflict within newsrooms across the country, public perception of journalists being bias seems at an all-time high and trust in mainstream media seems at an all-time low…

Minister, have these sanitiser supplies hit the shops yet, and if so, where? If not, when will they? Many of us are unable to find them during this health emergency.
There’s no need to stockpile hand sanitiser. The Aqium facility in Melbourne has stopped exporting & is pumping out 90,000 bottles a day - 5 times its forecast levels! It’s just one of many Aussie businesses stepping up during the outbreak of coronavirus.
