Julie McCrossin worked in many jobs before she began a career in the media. She has been a bus driver and an actor in a children's theatre company, among many other things. But, she is best known to many as the chirpy, intelligent woman who sat on the right hand side of our TV screens on Good News Week. She appeared on Good News Week, as a guest, soon into it's first series in 1996, and soon took over as the second team captain, replacing Anthony Ackroyd.

As well being an ardent campaigner for women's and gay rights, Julie writes for the Friday edition of the Australian Financial Review (thanks to the Avril!), hosts "Life Matters" on Radio National and studies part-time for her law degree at a Sydney university.

In late 2000, after the demise of Good News Week, Julie hosted her own six-part chat show, McCrossin, on the ABC.
