Australia public broadcaster staff strike over pay for first time in 20 years
Hundreds of staff at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation began a one-day strike Wednesday, the first walkout in 20 years, over pay and working conditions, disrupting live news coverage at the public broadcaster. Live programming was diverted to content from the UK broadcaster BBC when the strike began at 11:00am (0000 GMT). Flagship programmes on TV and radio were also expected to be replaced by reruns during the 24-hour strike.
