Riminton, who joined Ten in 2009 as senior political correspondent before rising to become co-presenter of the bulletin with Sandra Sully in Sydney, will assume a senior reporter role specialising in political and foreign coverage as well as special investigations.

This is the start of Ten cutting back news expenditure in preparation for Foxtel taking over the network and Ten’s news bulletins being produced by Sky News.
