The past week has been an interesting one for our public broadcaster, and both the Managing Director, Michelle Guthrie, and Chairman Justin Milne have left. Guthrie was cut off by the board amid growing concerns that she no longer represented the interests of the ABC, and Milne resigned following damning allegations that he had betrayed the editorial independence of the broadcaster. The rest of the media and some politicians have latched onto this frenzy and the ABC has been portrayed as a sinking ship. Was Guthrie’s axing and Milne’s departure the right choice, and is the ABC collapsing as some claim?
