Elizabeth Bond

Elizabeth Bond (1942 – December 2002) was an Australian radio broadcaster, TV host and journalist. Education Bond graduated from the University of Melbourne in 1962 with a Bachelor of Arts with honours in English and German. Bond attended the university with Germaine Greer, whom Bond credited with teaching her how to apply make-up. While at the university, Bond appeared as an extra in a production of Saint Joan which starred Zoe Caldwell. Career After a successful audition in December 1963, Bond commenced working for the Australian Broadcasting Commission in Melbourne, working in various capacities. Bond relocated to Sydney in 1970 where she presented her own program on 2BL. The program was dropped after Bond attracted criticism for making controversial comments on the program following a discussion with social commentator Ray Taylor, angering ABC management, prompting protests and accusations of Bond being a "left wing libber on the ABC".
