@Tzarimas The airwaves will never be the same Helen! Thank you for all the encouragement all those years ago ❤️ will miss your voice x

Dear Listener, With mixed emotions, I am preparing to leave the ABC & say goodbye as your radio newsreader. It's been a pleasure and a privilege to be a voice you've listened to for more than 18 years. My wish is that you remain informed, inspired, and above all, well.

“Until the funding and legislative barriers that prevent primary care nurses from working independently and to their full scope of practice are addressed, GPs will continue to struggle to provide the first-class health service that Australians expect.” pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/let-p…

For the first time a federal budget has electrification investment! We welcome the $1bil offered as low-cost loans for households, $300m for social housing tenants to electrify & $310m in small business tax breaks as great first steps #budget2023 theguardian.com/australia-news…

@RNBreakfast as I try to race out the door for drop off, knee deep in lunchboxes laundry dirty dishes and sticky hands, Kate Baer’s poem is a great reminder to cherish these moments!

Well told @Williams__Carly

Today, the Northern Territory Chief Minister announced her government's response to the snap review of the crisis in Alice Springs. Meanwhile, Indigenous groups say the problems are much more complicated than just alcohol and are demanding a long-term response. #abc730

Hard to overstate the parasocial relationships kids of my generation had with John and Benita and Noni. RIP king.

We’ve led Australia during COVID. Nurses must finally get a place at the decision-making table womensagenda.com.au/latest/nurses-…

Myself, @NSelvaratnam and @L_Day have been working with these incredible families for many months on this investigation. What happened to these young, much-loved First Nations women in the health system is just truly shocking. Please watch @4corners Heart Failure Monday night.

I've been working on this season of If You're Listening with @MatthewBevan @will_ock @LexiMetherell @SamuelBDunn @ericpaulgeorge for the past 3 months - it's now available wherever you find podcasts so give it a listen! abc.net.au/radio/programs…

@MarylouiseMcla1 So sorry to hear this Mary-Louise. You have been such a tireless and stable presence for the nation through so much uncertainty. Wishing you and your family so much strength and that you get the very best care x

After a severe headache Thursday, I was diagnosed with a brain tumour. I will now be on a month's sick leave from UNSW and WHO. Thank you media for helping me spread knowledge. Now it is time with my family. Best wishes to you all.

@s_mitchell VERY belatedly, lovely thread @s_mitchell

There's literally a couple of hundred pieces, so excuse the shortlist. The audio journalists at the ABC are an incredibly talented bunch, who are huge contributors to the national broadcaster's digital journalism. It's a pleasure to produce them, report with them and edit them.

As we end the year, a few of my favourite pieces from the journalists at Audio Current Affairs this year. Starting with this heart-stopping interview with Hasina Safi by @sallyjsara, produced by @vicpengilley abc.net.au/news/2021-08-3…
