Now is the time for a thorough investigation into the ABC staffing arrangements and its board of directors.

Questions arise from Guthries sacking which should be asked, and the answers need to be honest.
Was the decision for her sudden sacking, grounded on ideology maybe, or was it strictly a commercial decision by the board, as they are initially claiming it to be?

Saw it and every question you ask here dodged, we should be able to know just why this took place.
Leaks will happen but it should be formally told to us

All will be revealed.The real question is: how much is it going to cost taxpayers? Another question that will never be answered: how was this woman worth $890,000 plus per annum if she couldn't make it half way through her contract?

Justin Milne - ABC's Chairman has stated that it was
the decision of the Board to sack its Managing Director
Michelle Guthrie. Her term was to conclude on 4 July 2021.
She was appointed in 2016.

Apparently there was a "termination clause" in her contract
the permits the Board to terminate her appointment without
cause and with immediate effect. She's now looking at
legal options - but it's doubtful that she'll succeed because
of this "termination clause."

She had huge plans for the ABC - some of the things that
she planned to do were:

1) More investigative journalism
2) More regional journalism
3) More innovative content
4) Increased efficiency and effectiveness of work across
the ABC
5) Defence and protection of ABC's independence
6) Content of primary importance

She knew it would be an "enormous challenge" to break
down "some of the internal barriers to progress in the
ABC while "continuing to deliver quality programming
for all Australians."

It sounds great. However, she's been criticised for not
being a good communicator - more interested in flow-charts
than anything else - and being out of touch with staff
and programming. Perhaps, one day we shall find out the
real reasons for her termination. Perhaps not. In the
meantime the Board has made its decision.

It appears that Guthries did not support the long term plans of the board.
Their plans called for the end of broadcasting TV & radio and the use
of a massive on line stream data base of programs, information, documentaries etc.
Considering her background in Google etc, or perhaps because of that
experience she was not in favour of that path.

There is a worldwide a move to get broadcasting off the radio spectrum.
In Europe, Asia and the US spectrum has become very valuable as can be
seen by the prices paid for allocations for mobile phones.

One of the long term employees stated she simply was not up to the job. Was she part of some quota system?
