Ita Buttrose
Buttrose was the founding editor of Cleo, a high-circulation magazine aimed at women aged 20 to 40 that was frank about sexuality (and, in its infancy, featured nude male centrefolds) and, later, the editor of the more conventional The Australian Women's Weekly. She was the youngest person to be appointed editor of The Weekly, which was then, per capita, the largest-selling magazine in the world.
Buttrose was a panellist on the Network Ten morning program Studio 10 from 2013 until 2018.
In 2019, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced Buttrose as the new chair of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). She served a five-year tenure and was succeeded by Kim Williams in March 2024.
Buttrose's tenure has not been without criticism, notably for her involvement in the termination of ABC Radio Sydney presenter Antoinette Lattouf in 2023 for opposing genocide (see Controversies).
