Friends and colleagues of ABC journalist Ashleigh Raper are furious that the Australian’s NSW political editor Andrew Clennell will return to ABC Radio’s Sydney mornings show as a guest commentator after his role in the Luke Foley affair. Clennell was a regular commentator for The Bearpit segment on state politics with Wendy Harmer and Robbie Buck, but he took a break after the story of Foley’s harassment of Raper at a Christmas party in 2016 was revealed… Clennell was the journalist who had pursued the story for seven months despite Raper’s “expressed wish” to keep it quiet.
