ABC International and Pacific Media Network (PMN) have announced a new partnership designed to foster career development opportunities and empower Pacific voices in media.
Under the partnership, the ABC will provide an annual two-week work placement for a Pacific broadcast journalist from PMN. This “Sio ‘atu” initiative – which means “to look ahead, beyond the present towards possibilities” in Tongan – will provide a PMN journalist with international exposure, advanced skills training, and networking opportunities at the ABC.
Don Mann, CEO of the Pacific Media Network, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership. “The National Pacific Media Trust (the owner and operator of the PMN) has a Trust Deed obligation to develop a robust pipeline of Pacific broadcast talent in New Zealand. This partnership with ABC International is a significant step in fulfilling that obligation and is a testament to the high-calibre talent we’ve developed. The ‘Sio ‘atu’ placement will provide an invaluable opportunity for our journalists to refine their skills and gain international experience, which will in turn strengthen our overall journalistic capabilities when they return and share their new knowledge with our team.”
Claire Gorman, Head of ABC International, stated, “ABC International is deeply committed to empowering Pacific voices to narrate Pacific stories, enriching content for both domestic Australian and international audiences. This new initiative formalises our commitment and strengthens our ties with a key source of high-calibre Pacific journalistic talent. We are proud to partner with Pacific Media Network to further our shared goal of professional development and cultural exchange within the media industry.”
The “Sio ‘atu” placements will be offered to PMN employees, who will be selected based on their commitment to Pacific journalism, relevant experience, and potential for professional growth. The partnership will be reviewed annually by ABC and PMN to ensure its continued success and relevance.

Sydney-based community broadcaster Radio Skid Row 88.9FM has breached community participation rules in the Broadcasting Services Act 1992, following the dismissal of a volunteer presenter.
An Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) investigation found that the station failed to follow its own disciplinary procedure when it dismissed the presenter without giving the person clear reasons for the dismissal or offering them a right of appeal.
The ACMA found that the content of Radio Skid Row’s policies and procedures did not restrict participation on political or cultural grounds. However, the station’s failure to follow its disciplinary procedure left the presenter believing they were dismissed for their political and cultural views.
The ACMA found that the presenter’s dismissal also contributed to a broader perception that there were barriers to participation within the station based on political and cultural beliefs.
A second investigation into complaints about Radio Skid Row’s on-air content did not find breaches of the community broadcasting codes of practice.
Authority Member Carolyn Lidgerwood said that community radio plays a unique and important role contributing to an inclusive, cohesive and diverse Australian society.
“In this role, community radio stations also have a responsibility to encourage broad participation from the communities they serve. This is particularly important when the community radio station is serving a wide and diverse community such as Radio Skid Row is,” Ms Lidgerwood said.
“When stations fail to follow their own disciplinary procedures, it can create barriers to participation and discourage community involvement. This is the opposite of what community broadcasting is intended to achieve.”
Radio Skid Row has accepted the ACMA’s findings and taken steps to improve its processes around disciplinary action and people management. The station has utilised Fair Work resources to improve the way it manages members and volunteers, reviewed its policies and procedures to make them clearer, and clarified the programming committee’s role in managing conflicts.
The station will also implement training on policies and procedures for all new and existing volunteers and members and train its board members and management on risk, psychosocial hazards and privacy obligations.
Radio Skid Row has agreed to provide the ACMA with reports on its progress on implementing these measures and also to report to the ACMA about any disciplinary actions it takes in 2026 and 2027.

The Prime Minister of Niue Hon. Dalton Tagelagi has officially reopened the Broadcasting Corporation of Niue’s (BCN) Alofi headquarters after a major refurbishment undertaken in partnership with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).
Over 18 months, ABC International Development (ABCID) has worked with BCN, the Australian and Niue Governments and contractors from Niue, New Zealand and Australia to deliver the $2 million project, funded by the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).
ABCID Manager Jo Elsom said the project ensures BCN’s ongoing capacity to provide critical information to the people of Niue and demonstrates the value of the long-standing collaboration between Niue, Australia and their national broadcasters.
According to Elsom, “As the national and emergency broadcaster, BCN plays a critical role in Niue. We are pleased to have worked to restore BCN’s operations, ensuring its delivery of media services to the community. The refurbishment not only rebuilds vital infrastructure but also supports quality, independent broadcasting in Niue and the region.”
BCN General Manager Trevor Tiakia said the completion of the refurbishment gives the Corporation a renewed focus.
“The building is the pride and joy of the community, a source of entertainment and reliable information. It has created a more conducive working environment for our staff and has significantly enhanced the quality of service we are able to deliver to the community.”
To represent the friendship between Niue and Australia, ABC and BCN commissioned a large mural covering one side of the new building, designed and painted in collaboration between Niuean artist Jica Vakaafi and Torres Strait Islander artist Tori-Jay Mordey.

Triple M’s coverage is set to be bigger and better than ever ahead of the 2025 Toyota AFL Grand Final, rolling out a star-studded commentary team and a brand-new footy celebration, Triple M Fest. From a 12-hour live broadcast at Richmond’s iconic Corner Hotel to the first bounce on Saturday, Triple M’s coverage is set to own Grand Final week and give footy fans the best call in the game.
As Geelong and the Brisbane Lions prepare to battle for premiership glory, Triple M will have every angle covered. Mark “Howie” Howard and Nathan Brown will call the action of the Grand Final, joined by Geelong Norm Smith Medallist and four-time premiership hero Isaac Smith, who brings rare insight into the mindset of players on the game’s biggest stage. Former Brisbane AFLW star Kate McCarthy, one of footy’s most exciting new media voices, adds sharp analysis, while Michael Roberts reports from the boundary, and Ash Chua delivers the stats shaping the game.
From the sound of the crowd roaring above the final note of the national anthem to the moments that define the premiership with expert analysis and entertainment, this all-star team will be there to deliver the trademark Triple M call that has made the network the #1 AFL broadcaster across Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth, with more than 706,000 listeners tuning in each week.*
Triple M goes into party mode on Thursday, 25 September with the inaugural Triple M Fest: a 12-hour live broadcast (6am–6pm) from the Corner Hotel in Richmond. Fans will see some of Triple M’s biggest shows up close, including Mick in the Morning with Roo, Titus & Rosie, The Midweek Rub with Dale “Daisy” Thomas and Jack Heverin, Lu & Jarch, and The Rush Hour with JB & Billy – with Cats legend Billy Brownless sure to fire up the faithful ahead of Grand Final weekend. Listeners will also be entertained by Australia’s most electric live music acts throughout the day, including The Living End, British India, and Kingswood.
On Grand Final Day, Triple M takes centre stage at the AFL Footy Festival, live outside the MCG. From midday, the Saturday Rub crew – James “JB” Brayshaw, Damien Barrett, Billy Brownless and Bernie Vince – will entertain the live crowd with their trademark humour, bold predictions, and unique mix of footy and fun. From the first bounce, Triple M’s award-winning commentary team will call every moment of the decider, bringing fans closer to the atmosphere, drama, and stories that define the last Saturday in September.
Triple M enters Grand Final week fresh off industry recognition at the Australian Football Media Awards (AFMA), where LiSTNR’s The Howie Games won Best Podcast (Football News/Analysis), Triple M Footy’sMidweek Rub took out Best Podcast (Football Entertainment), and Ruby Schleicher received the Clinton Grybas Emerging Talent Award. Triple M’s own Jason Dunstall was also honoured with AFMA Life Membership, cementing his legacy that began with Triple M Footy in 1999.
Matthew O’Reilly, SCA Head of Broadcast Content, said: “Triple M is the AFL’s #1 audio broadcaster for a reason. We deliver more footy, more personality, and more passion than any other coverage. With the launch of Triple M Fest and our all-star call team lined up for the biggest game of the year, we’re giving fans a Grand Final week experience they won’t get anywhere else.”
