Michelle Guthrie sacked as ABC managing director; chairman Justin Milne says "not in best interests" of ABC for her to stay

Michelle Guthrie says she is "devastated" after being sacked as ABC managing director halfway through her term. 

ABC chairman Justin Milne tells ABC's Peter Ryan it was "not in the best interests" of the ABC for Ms Guthrie to continue. 

In a tweet, Ms Guthrie says she is considering her legal options and says there is no justification for the ABC board to terminate her contract.
