下载应用ABC（澳大利亚广播公司）记者Will Murray放下摄像机，前往布里斯班附近的洪水中救起一名男子，此后在全球范围内广为人知。10月22日（星期四）的这次救援获得了BBC（英国广播公司）和《纽约时报》（New York Times）的报道。在走红之前，Murray先生于2017年至2021年间在Wagga担任电视记者，并在当地积累了一批忠实的观众。在一次采访中，他表示自己毫不犹豫地施救，因为他无法眼睁睁看着有人溺水。他说，外界的关注让他应接不暇，并预计自己的名气会很快消退。
ABC reporter Will Murray has become known around the world after leaving his camera to rescue a man from floodwaters near Brisbane. The rescue on Thursday 22 October was covered by the BBC and New York Times. Before his fame, Mr Murray was a television journalist in Wagga between 2017 and 2021, where he built a loyal following. In an interview, he said he acted without hesitating because he could not watch someone drown. He said the attention was overwhelming and expects his fame to fade quickly.
ABC管理层拒绝排除对记者Michael Slezak采取纪律处分的可能，原因是他在《澳大利亚金融评论》（Australian Financial Review）上发表了一篇评论文章。该文涉及澳大利亚证券与投资委员会（Australian Securities and Investments Commission）的一项提案，即限制记者获取公司董事的住址和出生日期。工会称，Slezak是因捍卫新闻自由而被针对，而且根据他与ABC签订的协议，他无需获得批准。工会已呼吁ABC总经理Hugh Marks确认不会采取任何行动，工会成员将开会商讨应对方案。
