Mr Milne has described the pressure he faced to resign today as a “firestorm”.

“Clearly there is a lot of pressure on the organisation, and as always, my interests have been to look after the interests of the corporation,” Mr Milne said during his only interview today which aired on the ABC.

“It’s clearly not a good thing for everybody to be trying to do their job with this kind of firestorm going on.

“There was absolutely no interference in the independence of the ABC by the Government

“Nobody from the Government has ever rung me and told me what to do in relation to the ABC.”

Prime Minister Scott Morrison today tweeted about the crisis engulfing the ABC, saying it was time for the ABC to “resume normal transmition”.



Communications Minister Mitch Fifield said the inquiry — to be headed up by Department of Communications secretary Mike Mrdak — will involve interviewing board members and senior ABC management.

Mr Mrdak will focus on a series of allegation Mr Milne ordered former ABC managing director Michelle Guthrie to sack senior ABC journalists Emma Alberici and Andrew Probyn.

“(Mr Mrdak) will be talking to all the relevant parties — the chair, the current and acting managing director and he will invite the former managing director (Michelle Guthrie) to participate,” Mr Fifield said in Melbourne today.

Michelle Guthrie, aside from not fitting in with ABC's left wing counter culture wasn't up to the job. Apparently her favourite show is "Gogglebox" which I've never seen or even heard of before, but going on context from Australian reports I'm under the impression it's an online version of Big Brother. And if that's the case, it suggest to me she's a near brain dead dingbat. She was apparently a dud at Google to, so they side lined her on pointless projects.



Emma Alberici and Andrew Probyn should be sacked.
Alberici specialises in economics, yet has demonstrated a poor comprehension of the topic, thus the term "Emmanomics"
Probyn is an outright dishonest propagandist.
