‘I quit to avoid the trolls’: Leigh Sales breaks her silence on life after 7.30

Across nearly a dozen years at the helm of the ABC’s nightly current affairs program 7.30, presenter Leigh Sales interviewed countless world leaders and public figures – including five prime ministers. It has been a highly scrutinised run that won her praise but also brought with it an astonishing level of vitriol which, she tells Stellar in her first interview since announcing her imminent departure from the show, took “a really hard toll on people close to me”. As she sits down to answer her critics, she also considers another important question: what comes next for Leigh Sales when she signs off at the end of the month, aside from finally getting time to spend more weeknights on the couch with her two young sons?
