Biography

Olle is the son of journalist Andrew Olle (1947–1995) and his wife Annette. He attended Newington College (1990–1995) where his grandfather, John Durrant Olle (1912-2003), had been a student in the 1920s. [2] At university, Olle graduated in arts and law (Bachelor of Laws (Honours), University of Technology, Sydney; Bachelor of Arts, University of Sydney) [3] and then worked as a lawyer. In 2001 he switched to a career in journalism. Since then he has worked in print, radio, television and online media. From 2005 until 2013 he lived and worked out of Argentina reporting South America news for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and National Public Radio and other organisations. In 2009 he co-founded a Buenos Aires-based video journalism and production company that provides South American content for English, French and Spanish speaking markets. From 2012 he was The Global Mail's Latin America correspondent, filing multimedia stories on politics, social and environmental issues, human rights, technology and sport. In May 2013 Olle returned to Australia and worked as a reporter from the Sydney office of The Global Mail. The Mail was launched in February 2012 with philanthropic funding from his step-father Graeme Wood, the second husband of Annette Olle. [4] [5]

George Edward Negus AM is an Australian journalist, author, television and radio presenter specialising in international affairs. He was a pioneer of Australian TV journalism, first appearing on the ABC’s groundbreaking This Day Tonight and later on Sixty Minutes. Negus was known for making complex international and political issues accessible to a broad audience through his down-to-earth, colloquial presentation style. His very direct interviewing technique occasionally caused confrontation, famously with Margaret Thatcher, but also led to some interviewees giving more information than they had given in other interviews. Recognition of his unique skills led to him hosting a new ABC show, Foreign Correspondent, and Dateline on SBS. He often reported from the frontline of dangerous conflicts and described himself as an “anti-war correspondent” who wanted people to understand the reasons behind why wars were senseless. He was awarded a Walkley Award for Outstanding Contribution to Journalism. He presented 6.30 with George Negus on Network Ten. He remains a director of his own media consulting company, Negus Media International.
