ABC Friends has questioned the need for a new 'Director' position in the Communications Minister's department.

Journalist Michael Cavanagh is one of many staff leaving the ABC during the latest round of redundancies.

As he walks out the door for the last time, he looks back at his achievements and shares the thinking behind his decision to accept a redundancy.

Emma Alberici vented her frustration on Twitter just 24 hours after The Australian's coverage of her agreement to leave the ABC after 18 years.
 
Despite there being a confidentiality agreement in the settlement, Alberici felt compelled to "put the record straight" on a number of issues she felt "needed clarification" and published a number of tweets about how the redundancy was handled.
 
Alberici has now removed the tweets.

He moved into television as the station manager of Channel 10 Sydney, and then Managing Director of Capital Television.
 

The Labor Party says the Morrison Government's "inaction and buck passing" in relation to emergency broadcasting in regional Australia is putting lives at risk, while the Nats are "missing In action."
