Veteran ABC journalist Matt Peacock has died, aged 72, after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, colleagues revealed on Thursday. Peacock had a decades-long career with the national broadcaster, starting with a cadetship in the 1970s. His career took Peacock to Canberra as chief political correspondent for current affairs radio, and then to London, Washington and New York as a foreign correspondent.
“He loved the ABC and believed in its integrity and standards, and he urged his colleagues to uphold these values without compromise. “We will miss his friendship and advice. Our sincere condolences go to his family and friends.” Fellow media personalities also paid tribute to Peacock. Journalist and author Quentin Dempster tweeted on Thursday that Peacock passed away at Royal North Shore Hospital, leaving a “profound legacy, saving countless lives”.
