What Happened To Fauziah Ibrahim From ABC News?
Fauziah Ibrahim, an Australian broadcast journalist from ABC news has suddenly disappeared from the daily slot of the show she co-hosts. On both Saturday and Sunday, the news presenter was away from her role without prior information to the public.
This kind of disappearance is not usual as the channel does inform about the unavailability of any host beforehand. This time, out of the blue a new host joined Johanna Nicholson and talked about how much he enjoyed his work that day.
John Barron is a news journalist with over 20 years of experience at ABC news. He replaced Ibrahim on the weekend and also stated that he admired his cohost. He added that he used to watch the show while she presented it with her former partner.
There are speculations going on that Fauziah has been terminated from her role due to the alleged list of labor trolls that she had in store. Even though it is still half-baked, the discussions going on are strong.

Fauziah Ibrahim has been accused of putting out trolls against the labor party under offensive fake accounts on Twitter. It has been said that the journalist had a list of creative punches for the party to be posted online in order to bring them down. She had mentioned the intellectual failings of the leaders from the particular group.
It is normal for any person to criticize a probable government or judge them according to their performance in the past. however, being a journalist, a fair and impartial thought process is what is expected of them.
Similarly, as per the guidelines posted by ABC, the staff’s personal use of social media is controlled. hence, the talks going on Twitter among the common people about her being fired are understandable.
