Caro Meldrum-Hanna, one of the ABC’s most decorated reporters, appears to have left the building. Meldrum-Hanna has been a star reporter on the Four Corners program, but hasn’t filed a story in months.

Asked about whether Meldrum-Hanna had officially left the organisation, an Aunty spokesperson would not provide a comment. It’s not a customary response to a bog-standard question of whether someone still works for you. Meldrum-Hanna has also not returned our requests.
