‘We all have a role to play’: Sneesby pledges to make ‘cultural change’ at Nine following latest accusations

Nine CEO Mike Sneesby has told staff he and the leadership team are committed to “driving cultural change” after new accusations of sexual harassment and bullying were made against managers.

It was revealed this week that two more Nine managers were accused of “predatory behaviour” by a former female staffer who left the media giant in 2022. The complaint was reportedly made via Nine’s newly-established hotline for current and former staff who would like to report “sexual harassment or other inappropriate behaviours”.

It’s understood that a number of mistreatment complaints have been made through the hotline on the back of allegations made against former news boss, Darren Wick.

In an email sent to staff on Monday, Sneesby said the hotline – as well as an internal review, organisation-wide survey and a review by external consultant Intersection – are “crucial to ensuring all our people feel safe and respected in the workplace”.
