Another Channel 10 star LEAVES the struggling network: Respected political editor Peter van Onselen makes a shock career move after four years in the role
Channel 10’s respected political editor Peter van Onselen is leaving the struggling network and returning to a post in academia.
Mr Van Onselen first joined Channel 10 in 2018 after working at Sky News Australia and The Australian newspaper.
Prior to his roles in media, Mr van Onselen worked as an advisor for Tony Abbott and was a professor at Edith Cowan University.
Before the first sitting week of Parliament last month, Mr van Onselen hinted that he had enough of commuting between Sydney and Canberra for the Channel 10 role.
‘On the way to Canberra for the first sitting week of the year. I’ve *only* been doing this for four years,’ he explained.
‘I don’t know how politicians sustain it for a decade or more. We sometimes forget the sacrifices they make!’
