Q+A host Hamish Macdonald is leaving the ABC after 18 months at the flagship program, the national broadcaster says.
Key points:
Macdonald took the helm of Q+A in February last year, replacing founding presenter Tony Jones, who departed after 12 years with the show.
"I am enormously grateful for the opportunity I've been given to host Q+A and to work alongside wonderful, talented and passionate people," Macdonald said.
"I am really proud of what we've achieved together during these extraordinary times."
The ABC says with lockdowns continuing, Q+A will continue to be hosted where it is possible to have a studio audience.
The role of host will be on a rotation with the broadcaster's live presenters.
“Everyone at the ABC thanks Hamish for the incredible job he has done,” the ABC’s Director of News, Gaven Morris, said.
"At one stage during the lockdown he was presenting a live panel discussion program that wasn’t allowed to have either an audience or panellists in the studio. His experience and versatility came to the fore.
"Hamish has long been a part of the ABC family and we look forward to continuing that relationship when opportunities arise."
During his time with the ABC, Macdonald was also a regular presenter on RN Breakfast, hosted the Reef Live event, filed for Foreign Correspondent and reported from the field during the 2020 bushfires.
