One ABC employee was paid close to AUD 600,000 in the 2023 financial year creating even more superstar risk at the ABC -An audit red flag which requires a forensic audit going back to at least 2016, ABC is still audited by KPMG which ABC 4 Corners says cheated the Department Of Defence

One ABC employee, who is not in the executive ranks, was paid close to AUD 600,000 in the 2023 financial year. Who this person is, and why that remuneration is justified , has not been explained.
The money paid to this person adds to the ABC's superstar risk. Like the risk of superstar CEOs, it exposes the ABC,and taxpayers, to the ineptitude of an individual or in the case of the ABC,a small group of individuals, often journalists with high profiles but little training in the areas they profess expertise. Laura Tingle's recent pronouncements on what should and should not be reported with regards constitutional law matters is but one example. Tingle is now known to have any legal qualifications.
Meanwhile the discredited KPMG remains the ABC's auditor. This remains the case despite the ABC reporting recently that KPMG cheated the Department Of Defence.
A forensic audit of the ABC's books, with a particular focus on consultancies and content creation contracts entered into with current and former employees is long overdue.
