Australia’s government-funded media has been accused of bowing to political interference, a Senate inquiry has heard.

The inquiry is investigating allegations of political interference, which emerged after the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s (ABC’s) board sacked Managing Director Michelle Guthrie halfway through her five-year term in September 2018.
