Australia’s public broadcaster in leadership crisis after boss quits over political interference claims

14 Sept 02:02 Key points summarised by AI

ABC Chair Justin Milne resigned amid allegations he pressured managing director Michelle Guthrie to fire journalists disliked by the Australian government.
Leaked emails reportedly show Milne directing Guthrie to 'get rid of' economics journalist Emma Alberici and 'shoot' political editor Andrew Probyn.
Milne's resignation followed the ABC board's dismissal of Guthrie, with both Milne and the government denying any political interference.
