Four Corners is adding four journalists to its reporting team in 2018, as part of its News & Investigations restructure.
They are Louise Milligan, Sophie McNeill (pictured second from left), Sean Nicholls & producer Lesley Robinson. They join Sarah Ferguson, Caro Meldrum-Hanna, Michael Brissenden, Linton Besser and Debbie Whitmont.
Executive Producer Sally Neighbour said: “The addition of these outstanding journalists will further cement Four Corners‘ position as the standard bearer of the finest investigative journalism.”
Louise Milligan has broken a succession of major stories while a reporter on 7.30, including the allegations of sexual abuse against Cardinal George Pell. Her book Cardinal recently won a Walkley Award and the Sir Owen Dixon NSW Law Reporter of the Year Award. She has reported two stories for Four Corners this year, “Inside the Greens” and “After the Game”.
Sophie McNeill is one of Australia’s finest foreign correspondents and video journalists, and is currently based in Jerusalem as a Middle East Correspondent. Her outstanding journalism has earned her many accolades, including three Walkley Awards.
Sean Nicholls has earned a reputation as a top-class political reporter and investigative journalist during his career at Fairfax Media, where he rose through the ranks to become State Political Editor on The Sydney Morning Herald, a role he held from 2010.
Lesley Robinson is one of the ABC’s most experienced current affairs producers, honing her skills as a first-rate journalist and storyteller during 17 years at 7.30.

Pretty obvious to see in which direction they will be taking Four Corners in 2018. Milligan whose book full on unsubstantiated allegations against Pell has had to be withdrawn by the publishers in Victoria before she was found to be in contempt of court; McNeill for whom the ABC and Fairfax ruthless attacked Danby when he tried to expose her pro-Palestinian bias. Nicholls who writes tabloid clickbait for the SMH, like today’s front page where he “proves” Berejiklian is lying because $2b is really 17% of $200b not 1% using the dodgie accounting tricks, then claims that’s what Berejiklian is doing!
