Media releases

SBS Non-Executive Director Mr Aaron Fa'Aoso has advised the SBS Chairperson and Board of his intention to seek preselection as the Labor Party candidate for the seat of Mulgrave for the upcoming Queensland State election.

Noting SBS's important role in providing independent and impartial coverage across its services and platforms and to avoid any perceived or actual conflict of interest, Mr Fa'Aoso has requested the Chair grant him a leave of absence from the Board for the relevant period, which has been agreed to. The leave will come into effect immediately.

Update: Mr Fa'Aoso's leave of absence concluded on 2 September 2024.
