Staff at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) will go on strike on Wednesday for the first time in 20 years, after rejecting a pay rise offer.
The 24-hour strike will begin at 11:00 local time (00:00 GMT) and is expected to disrupt live television and radio broadcasts.
It comes after 60% of ABC staff rejected management's offer of a 10% total pay rise over three years - 3.5% in the first year and 3.25% in the two years after. Australia recorded an annual inflation rate of 3.8% in January.
The unions said the offer was too low and failed to address many other concerns including reproductive health leave and the use of artificial intelligence.
The ABC has about 4,500 staff members and 75% voted on the offer on Sunday.
