Adelaide Miller
Adelaide Miller is an award-winning national business reporter at the ABC who links day-to-day markets coverage with accountability reporting on how finance, regulation and corporate decisions affect workers, consumers and small businesses.
Superannuation and small business obligations
A central strand of Miller’s work examines superannuation settings and the practical burden they place on employers and workers.
In coverage of new rules requiring more frequent super payments, she reports directly from small business owners worried about cash flow and compliance, focusing on how regulatory timelines translate into pressures on local operators. Earlier markets coverage flags the shift to a 12 per cent super contribution rate and the persistent problem of underpayment, positioning super not just as a savings vehicle but as a workplace rights issue.
Across this reporting she returns to the gap between legislative intent and on-the-ground practice, highlighting where systems fail to deliver the entitlements workers are owed.
Markets live, ASX moves and the wider economy
Miller is a regular presence in the ABC’s finance blog and markets live coverage, guiding audiences through daily movements on the ASX and major global indices. As a business correspondent on these live blogs, she frames market action within broader themes such as inflation, government debt and shifting investor sentiment rather than treating price moves in isolation. Her markets pieces draw links between Wall Street rallies, local share performance and policy debates, helping general audiences understand how global events filter through to Australian portfolios and businesses. She also picks up emerging sectors, including developments in cryptocurrency, using live coverage to explain why new financial products and technologies matter for regulation and risk. References within these blogs to her separate work on issues like AI-driven political campaigning show a willingness to connect financial narratives with technological and political change.
Corporate conduct, regulation and consumer impact
Beyond markets and super, Miller’s reporting often interrogates corporate behaviour and the regulators tasked with overseeing it.
In coverage of Bupa being fined millions over conduct, she underlines how many Australians rely on the insurer and how failures identified by the watchdog have affected thousands of policyholders, keeping the focus on customers rather than abstract compliance breaches. Her reporting on mortgage stress in the context of rising interest rates and inflation uses data from the National Debt Helpline to show how households are experiencing economic pressure, bringing statistical evidence into accessible broadcast formats.
On programs examining Telstra’s scrutiny at a Senate inquiry after major outages, she follows how parliamentary processes and corporate accountability intersect, tracking what questions are being asked on behalf of affected consumers. Across these stories the through-line is the impact of financial and corporate systems on everyday people, with regulation presented as a practical safeguard rather than a technical detail.
Investigative background and broader social reporting
Miller’s business reporting sits on top of an investigations background, including work as a researcher and reporter for ABC Investigations and Background Briefing, and an investigative role with long-form programs such as Four Corners. That experience shows in her current work through sustained attention to systemic issues, whether examining underpayment of super, structural drivers of debt, or the consequences when large organisations fail. She also contributes to specialist reporting beyond pure finance, including video work with the ABC’s Specialist Reporting Team on stories about parents defying court orders after children are traumatised, and broadcast pieces on family law and its human consequences. Her portfolio includes more personal narrative features, such as a reflective essay on her grandmother’s experience of dementia, indicating an ability to handle sensitive health and ageing topics with care and detail. Across TV, radio, online and podcast formats, she works as a multiplatform reporter for the ABC’s national business team, combining explanatory journalism with investigative instincts.
