Former News Corp CEO Kim Williams will take over as Chair of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) board when Ita Buttrose steps down at the end of her five-year term in March.

Appointed in 2019 by former Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Ms. Buttrose, 82, had indicated that she would not seek reappointment.
