Deborah Knight
A member of the "Mitchell mafia" Deborah completed a journalism degree from Charles Sturt University.
Radio was her first love, finely tuned in regional NSW in her first job at 2WG in Wagga Wagga.
Keen for a new challenge in “the big smoke”, she took up an offer from Mix 106.5 in Sydney, and then accepted a position with the ABC.
Her ability to quickly grasp new subject matter was reflected in her varied roles at the national broadcaster, from rural reporting, to Triple J, and the prestigious AM and Breakfast program on Radio National.
Deborah entered the world of television as a presenter/reporter with the much-loved ABC TV show “Landline” where her work, specifically interviewing the Prime Minister, caught the eye of TEN political editor Paul Bongiorno.
From the ABC, Deborah joined Network Ten in the Canberra Press Gallery. She covered two Federal elections and regularly presented Meet the Press and the Network news, before taking the leap overseas. Deborah headed up TEN’s US Bureau (based in Los Angeles) for 3 years, covering tumultuous stories including September 11, the re-election of George W Bush and the Iraq War.
Deborah returned to Australia in November 2004 and became co-anchor of Sydney's Ten News at Five Bulletin in January 2006. Deborah and husband Lindsay Dunbar welcomed their first child, son Darcy in February 2009 and in October 2010 celebrated the arrival of her second child, daughter Elsa.
