Special ABC correspondents

There are a few ABC correspondents who usually report or present ABC programs in Australia but are sent overseas to cover special events. Such ABC correspondents usually have an area of speciality and have reported in a certain area before. Peter Cave is the ABC's senior foreign affairs correspondent and travels all over the world to cover breaking stories.

During the Solomon Islands crisis of April 2006, Phillip Williams, the presenter of Stateline in the Australian Capital Territory, was sent across to report on events there. As a result, Sean Dorney, the ABC's designated Pacific correspondent, moved across to ABC Radio News and Current Affairs to cover the Solomons' crisis for them.

During the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict, various ABC correspondents were moved around the region. The foreign affairs editor, Peter Cave, as well as Emma Griffiths, former Middle East correspondent Jane Hutcheon and former Africa correspondent Sally Sara, along with Matt Brown and David Hardaker, took turns covering the crisis from either side of the border.
