I didn't read it that way. Sounds like for whatever reason the RMIT partnership is ending but ABC is going to carry on with it on their own.

This is probably a bad development. RMIT gave the work an extra sense of rigour and independence. It meant liberals and nationals, and conservatives in general couldn't dismiss their work as just more ABC lefty commie wokeratti greenie stuff, as so many of those people reflexively do now.

The ABC should immediately start looking for a new partner of similar calibre in this ongoing endeavour.
