ABC introduces new role of ombudsman to head editorial complaints

The ABC will introduce the new role of an ombudsman in an overhaul of its complaints handling procedures.The ombudsman would report directly to the ABC board, making the process separate from editorial management

The ombudsman will head an expanded Editorial Complaints Unit and have the power to review a complaint finding."The ombudsman will report direct to the board and the process will be separate to editorial management," Ms Buttrose said. This follows the completion of an independent review where the ABC board accepted all its recommendations.

PatsKarvelas Less money for programming. Monitoring and control are management functions.

The first thing it should do is review frankelly08's terrible interview with SenatorWong.

PatsKarvelas Sad indictment on the ABC that a major political party did not trust it’s independence to run a nation political debate on its channel. What is the purpose of its corporate charter?

That's right There's an urgent need to cut down the hard right bias of the ABC.

It’s not Prudence Gay MacSween is it

Going to be a very busy little Vegemite, but I'll just about guarantee there'll be 'political' overtones to this appointment!

'She said the ABC was looking for an external candidate to fill the new position.' Are the betting companies doing odds on whether or not this person will somehow, by total coincidence, end up being connected to the IPA/Liberal Party/News Corp. in some manner?

The quicker the ABC board is removed the better.

Long time overdue ABC need spring swamp cleaning of biased LNP journalists seeking to be politicians like Stan Grant and David Speers.

about to become the hardest working person in television

why bother. It is just Sky News on a perpetual whinge anyway

PatsKarvelas The last 6 weeks, shows it’s needed. It’s a shame, I get 90% of my news from ABC. There has been a shift.

The fact that it’s introduced by the ABC board means it’s an unadulterated rort.

That would be such a fun job. So many sooks with petty whines to be placated.

Independent enough to report directly to the board, but ‘we will appoint them’ says Ita ….🤨
