    Former ABC journalist Matt Peacock has died at the age of 72. 

    Peacock had a decades-long career with the national broadcaster after joining it in 1973.

    The senior journalist was chief political correspondent for current affairs radio in Canberra and foreign correspondent in London, Washington and New York.

    He died following a pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

    ABC chair Kim Williams shared his condolences.

    ‘Since starting at the ABC as a cadet in 1973, he was dedicated to pursuing the health impacts of asbestos in different communities, defending the marginalised and giving a voice to people who needed their story to be told,’ he said.

    ‘Our audiences trusted him and knew him as a courageous and principled journalist who pursued those who hid from their responsibilities.

    ‘He loved the ABC and believed in its integrity and standards and he urged his colleagues to uphold these values without compromise.

    ‘We will miss his friendship and advice. Our sincere condolences go to his family and friends.’ 

    Mr Peacock also worked for several flagship ABC radio and television programs including AM, The World Today and PM. 

    He specialised in reporting on politics, the environment and science. 

    Mr Peacock was best known for exposing how global materials giant James Hardie Industries covered up the deaths of thousands of Australians from asbestos. 

    His book Killer Company: James Hardie exposed detailed the hazardous products that the company manufactured.
