GetUp announces Dan Ilic as its next chief executive, appointing him to lead the progressive advocacy group. The announcement follows a period of heightened public attention for the organisation.
The reports say the appointment comes only months after GetUp ran a campaign targeting One Nation leader Pauline Hanson, including using a “secret banner” during the effort. Across the outlets, Ilic’s background is described as spanning both media and activism, with coverage noting his prior work as an ABC talking head before shifting more fully into campaign roles.
While the outlets align on the key facts—the new CEO, Ilic’s transition from media to activism, and the recent Hanson-related controversy—they differ mainly in emphasis. Some focus more on Ilic’s career path, while others highlight GetUp’s recent campaign activity and the surrounding scrutiny.
