Career

Moving to the ABC in 1995, Fullerton worked in business journalism and for the TV show Lateline. She then became the presenter of Landline, a TV show dealing with farming issues in Australia. Following that, she moved into investigative reporting for Four Corners for five years, and later presented Lateline Business (which became The Business) until 2 December 2016, when Elysse Morgan replaced her.

"Lords of the Forest", a 2004 episode of Four Corners presented by Fullerton, was criticised for bias in favour of logging protesters.[3] The Australian Communications and Media Authority upheld some of the complaints.[4]

In February 2017, Sky News Australia announced that Fullerton would host Ticky, a new business programme on Sky News Business Channel.[5]

After writing columns for The Australian for two years,[6] she was appointed in January 2021 as their business editor-at-large.[7]

In January 2023, it was announced that Fullerton had been appointed the chief executive of the Australian British Chamber of Commerce, effective 1 March 2023.[8]

Awards

Fullerton was awarded the Australian Government Peter Hunt Eureka Prize for Environmental Journalism (2004) for "3 provoking reports on issues of national significance – the fate of Tasmania's forests, the hidden agendas driving waste recycling and the fight for precious water resources".[9]
