ABC Managing Director, David Anderson, has devoted his entire career to the national broadcaster. It shows.

In a recent extraordinary eighty-seven-page ‘love letter’ to the organisation (published to mark the broadcaster’s ninetieth birthday), Anderson revealed he started at the ABC at the tender age of 18.

Now 51, he got the top job ‘accidentally’ following the calamitous tenure and acrimonious departure of his predecessor, Michelle Guthrie, in March 2019.
