Iconic Melbourne newsreader Ian Henderson signs off after 38 years | ABC News

Henderson's 38 years at the ABC took him to Trades Hall as an industrial reporter, to State Parliament - where he covered the election of John Cain in 1982, to Federal Parliament during Bob Hawke's prime ministership in 1987, and then to Europe as a foreign correspondent.
During that posting, Henderson covered some of the continent's biggest events, including the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, and he was deployed further afield to report on such history-making moments as Nelson Mandela's release from prison the following year.
His 26 years as the face of the nightly television news has been his longest stint in one role.
