Ita Buttrose tipped as ABC chair with PM to decide this week; PM "surprised , disappointed" at all male short list

Ita Buttrose has been named as a possible top candidate for the ABC chair role which has been vacant for five months. 

Prime Minister Scott Morrison says Ms Buttrose is a great Australian but says a decision is yet to be made. 

However, Mr Morrison says he was "surprised and disappointed" to receive an all male short list.

The media buyer Harold Mitchell says the former editor for Kerry Packer and Rupert Murdoch is tough but compassionate. 

ABC's Peter Ryan says the position of ABC managing director is also vacant after last year's sacking of managing director Michelle Guthrie.
