Is Washington Ready for Doug?

Sheer hard work and professionalism does pay on ABC Radio!

Brisbane staff, and no doubt many interstate, were thrilled last week to learn that Doug had been promoted to correspondent, Washington.

Doug is likely to take up his appointment in the early new year after seeing out the Queensland election campaign.

It’s a three year appointment and he will join another former Brisbane journo, John Cameron, in the US capital.

State rep Andrew Buchanan had this to say: “This is a great credit to Doug. We also see it as flattering to the Branch. Everyone appreciates the tremendous work Doug has performed for ABC Radio in his current affairs position, particularly over the last 12 months.” #

Weller’s away to Washington

ABC Radio’s Queensland chief Doug Weller will take up a senior position as Washington foreign correspondent early in the new year.

The three-year posting is considered the pinnacle of any ABC reporting career.

Weller is a Queensland political reporter with ABC’s AM, The World Today and PM.

In five years of current affairs experience at the ABC, Weller has worked closely with the Joh for PM campaign through to Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen’s demise, the Fitzgerald Report and the rise and fall of Mike Ahern.
