Seems there’s a couple of ABC jobs up for grabs at the moment. I wonder which one MD Mark Scott considers more important in the brave new world of “continuous news”? Here’s the first ad for a gig in the Harbour City.

Mail Room Supervisor, Business Services, Ultimo
(Administrative/Professional, Band 5, Schedule A)
$59,784 – $64,063

Then there’s this appointment (internal only) in Brisbane:

Bi Media Journalist, News, Brisbane
(Program Maker, Band 3, Schedule B)
$48,968 – $53,413
