That's certainly a great way to make an exit, listening to Beethoven's Ninth. Beats Amazing Grace being played on the bagpipes (my idea of Hell) a thousand times over.

One of Australia’s most accomplished television journalists, Liz Jackson, has died aged 67.

A giant of ABC current affairs, Jackson died in her sleep while on holiday in Greece with her partner, Martin Butler.

Jackson’s elegant presence, authoritative voice and dogged reporting won acclaim for decades before she retired in 2013. Her reporting on world affairs and politics were recognised by an astonishing nine Walkleys including the Gold in 2006, as well as four Logie awards.

Jackson’s last Walkley, the 2017 documentary award, was for the story of her own struggle with Parkinson’s disease, with which she was diagnosed in 2014. In A Sense of Self, she bravely fronted the cameras to reveal her own physical and mental decline.
