In short:
Antony Green is stepping down as the national broadcaster’s chief election analyst after more than three decades.
He will continue to work behind the scenes on election-related projects.
Green joined the ABC in 1989 and has provided live analysis of about 100 state and federal elections.
The man is 68. He’s been doing this for 36 years. I don’t want to still be working past that age, so I totally get it. I wish him well!
He telegraphed this a while back. Job well done, wish him the best with his next adventures in life.
Who do we think is gonna get the nod?
-
Ben Raue should be a contender, although his previous polical affiliations might get in the way.
-
Kevin Bonham, from tassy, don’t know much about him myself.
-
William Bowe of Poll Bludger fame. I have to go for him as a hometown hero! Lol!
-
Glenn Druery, the preference whisperer, could be a controversial but interesting pick.
I’m sure theres plenty of other people who wpuld be great options.
It’s mentioned in the article:
Green will be succeeded by Casey Briggs, already well-known to ABC audiences for his outstanding communication and data skills.
Briggs’s title will be ABC chief election and data analyst.
Ah, serves me right for commenting without reading, cheers!

I will refuse to accept any election results if Antony doesn’t call it!
He isn’t a genius. ABC should pay him to supervise a replacement analyst/presenter for the next election. Simple.
We just don’t expect public figures to do their jobs well like he did. I wish he was the norm.
