Fact - you don’t get redundancy when you are a casual contractor on a handshake agreement
Did he or did he not take a voluntary cash incentive to leave?
O’Keeffe was a casual employed for cricket commentary so he would not in anyway be eligible for a redundancy. Not sure where you would get that info from.
No, he most certainly did not.
Is that your guess, or is it what he is telling people?
This is a weird hill to die on.
Nobody’s dying on any hills. I’m just curious as to what story O’Keeffe is putting around.
Why? Why do not believe people who have heard it directly from the man himself?
But more than that. He left the ABC years ago, why does it matter so much to you?
in b4 caesar was the one who fired him
No he did not!
It is 100 per cent fact. I worked at the ABC.
What happened to Richard Stubbs?
I couldn't find anywhere else to put this long interview with Ian Chappell on Macquarie Radio (81 minutes). A lot or people on here would've heard the stories many times, but still......

One of the icons of Australian sport. Someone who changed the face of our national obsession. A singular character and a voice that many Australians have spent more time listening to than their partners. Batsman. Captain. Broadcaster. Legend. Ian Chappell is all those things and more. He...

correct. had dollars waved under his nose from the commercials.
Three different sources corroborating the same thing.
He was not a casual employee. Your initial (and subsequent) comments about being adamant that O’Keeffe was paid out is totally incorrect. No casual employee at the ABC has received a pay out. O’Keeffe was engaged to commentate each summer and that is how it worked. He made the decision not to continue and there was NO financial transaction as a result.
Granted I've only turned it on a few times this summer but every time I hear the ABC during the lunch break they're talking about women's cricket. Is that a common thing?
I've got nothing against the women's game (other than a complete lack of interest), but some analysis and insight on the current match might be nice?

100% correct; he was on a casual agreement each summer - when they came to the new season old mate rang Skull and said we’ve had cutbacks - this is all I can offer you - Skull could make more coin doing speakers nights than being on the road so he declined the offer. No bad blood, no payout, none of the bullshit alluded to.
This is coming from O’Keeffe?
What's got your goat about this? Three different people are corroborating the same story here.
I’m just curious as to where the story is actually coming from.
