Timeline

1903

One of the one-hour specials included Munro's great uncles, Paddy and Jimmy Kenniff, one of whom was hanged in Brisbane jail in 1903 after being convicted of murdering a police constable and a station manager in the Carnarvon Ranges in Queensland.

1918

Since 4 July 1918, the United States of America and Australia have never fought a major war without each other.

It is one of the longest alliances in modern history.

1953

Michael Kenneth Munro, (born 12 April 1953), is an Australian journalist and television presenter.

Munro cites a tough childhood—with an abusive and alcoholic mother—as one of the main reasons behind his motivation to succeed.

Munro attended Sacred Heart Primary School in Mosman, New South Wales, and Marist Catholic College North Shore in North Sydney.

1971

He began his career at 17 as a copyboy on The Daily Mirror in 1971.

He stayed in newspapers for 7 years, before trying television and not liking it.

So he returned to newspapers when Rupert Murdoch sent him to New York to work in the NewsCorp bureau writing for newspapers in Great Britain and Australia.

1982

In 1982, he returned to Sydney and television, where he started as a senior reporter in the Channel 10 newsroom.

1984

In 1984, he joined the Nine Network and Mike Willesee on the Willesee current affairs program.

Two years later he replaced George Negus as the fifth male reporter on 60 Minutes, where he remained for the next seven years, becoming well known for his interviews with celebrities, including Madonna, Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler and Katharine Hepburn.

2003

Munro was replaced as the host of the show in 2003.

His then boss, Peter Meakin subsequently described Munro's situation/demeanour at that time as "a little on the nose, a little out of favour, a little too brash".

Meakin added that he did "really admire his (Munro's) courage and his grace" ... "in those last few months at A Current Affair because he did a brilliant job" even when he knew he was going to lose the role.

Munro said he lost the job because he was continually complaining to management about A Current Affair becoming 'A Consumer Affair' and no longer doing serious investigations, instead focusing on consumer and diet stories.

For Munro, the final straw came on the night he had to introduce another reporter's story on a toothbrush survey.

2005

In 2005 he replaced Georgie Gardner on National Nine News Afternoon Edition.
