David Anderson, managing director of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), has announced his resignation after more than three decades at the broadcaster, citing the need for leadership renewal. This decision follows a vote of no confidence from unionized staff, who criticized him for not sufficiently defending the integrity of ABC amidst external pressures, though the ABC board expressed unanimous confidence in his leadership.

He emphasized the importance of the ABC to Australia and acknowledged the challenges faced, including external attacks on its journalists.
