On Monday The Chaser took to their Twitter to share an article by the Sydney Morning Herald, who had interviewed acting director of entertainment and specialist programming Michael Carrington.

The satirists commented that the Chaser’s election show and coverage would not be returning in 2019.

“ABC in 2019: Another thing that’s not coming back... a Chaser election show.”

“First time since 2001 that the ABC has declined to fund it,” The Chaser tweeted.

Seemingly responding to these comments, Que Ming Luu, who is an Executive Producer in the ABC’s comedy and drama television department, took to her own Twitter account to respond.

“Maybe kicking the ABC when it’s down because you don’t have an election special commissioned for the first time in your 17yr tv career (which is all thanks to the org btw) is a touch dickish?” Que Minh Luu began.

Minh Luu went on to describe her ire at a colleague who was quoted. While it is unclear who the Executive Producer refers to, it appeared to be a reference to Carrington, the ABC’s acting director of entertainment and specialist programming, who earlier this week delivered news of ABC’s planned programming schedule in 2019 in the Herald’s article.

The tweets have now been deleted.

When asked for comment on her tweets, Minh Luu responded:

“I’m no one worth seeking public comment from, in fact in this context I’m just a dickhead mouthing off on the internet.”

The main cast of the Chaser is made up of Charles Firth, Dominic Knight, Julian Morrow, Craig Reucassel, Chas Licciardello, Chris Taylor and Andrew Hanson.

The national broadcaster has suffered a spate of recent controversies that resulted in the exit of managing director Michelle Guthrie and chairman Justin Milne. Milne was forced into a resignation after allegations surfaced that he was facing pressure from then Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to sack journalists.
