The Morrison government has rejected the recommendations of an inquiry into allegations of political interference in the ABC. In April, the Senate’s communications committee tabled a report into claims of political interference in the national broadcaster, making six recommendations. The inquiry was sparked by the axing of managing director Michelle Guthrie and subsequent departure of chair Justin Milne last year. In its formal response tabled in parliament on Friday, the government did not support any of the six recommendations – rejecting four of them outright and "noting" the other two.
