ABC journalist Matt Peacock has died

 




Former ABC journalist Matt Peacock has died at the age of 72 after battling pancreatic cancer.

He 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 hundreds of hazardous products that the company manufactured. 

He was elected to the ABC's board in 2013 by his colleagues following a vote by 1,800 employees.
