Television presenter Tony Armstrong has wrapped up his final appearance on ABC’s News Breakfast, after announcing his departure from the national broadcaster’s flagship morning show last week. “I’m just very thankful to everyone who watches, and everyone who said such nice things to me across the course of this week particularly. It’s been a funny old week. But yeah, people have been really, really nice to me,” he said earlier this morning on air.
This abuse occurred the same week the ABC released a report on racism at the broadcaster, which included accounts of staff being subjected to public attacks from social media, individuals, and other news media.Despite the trolling he has experienced over the past week, Armstrong thanked the show’s team, as well as its viewers.He went on to say being on the show has meant he can now “leave on his own terms into whatever is next. I don’t really know exactly what it is yet”.
