He has worked behind the scenes in television journalism for many years as a former Head of News and Current Affairs at both the ABC and the Seven Network.

As a respected journalist and media commentator, Manning addresses the public, government-led and media-driven hysteria about Australians known as ‘people of Middle Eastern appearance’. He is the author of Us and Them, a combination of memoir, travel, culture, history and religion telling the story of one man’s passionate quest to see justice done and to humanise the people our media and the public often demonise.
