Tim Ahern is a cameraman for the Australian News Network in 1986. He is gay, but doesn’t feel like it’s everyone’s business to know due to the discrimination of homosexuals at the time. He does most of his work with Dale Jennings, a new anchorman he has developed a fondness for. He has a good sense of humor, often giving his coworkers a friendly tease every now and again. However, he can be serious, passionate about rights for aboriginals and gays that he feels the news station should support
