ACM 'shocked and deeply concerned' by serious allegations against Catalano

Antony Catalano, 59, ACM executive chairman, has been placed on an immediate leave after being charged with assault, false imprisonment, and threats following an incident at a Melbourne apartment.
The ACM board and executive leadership said they were 'shocked and deeply concerned', noting Catalano has been a co-owner since 2019 and did not hold an operational role.
Police allege Antony Catalano dragged the woman involved through a Melbourne apartment and swung a clothes iron at her head, hospitalising her with a fractured tailbone.
The publisher said ACM management team is capable of maintaining continuity, and Catalano's absence will not affect operational day-to-day running, while Catalano expressed remorse in an apology.
ACM said the allegations will be determined by the courts and are a matter for legal process, adding that 'violence against women is entirely against the values of our company and our mastheads'.
