Phillips began her career in Brisbane in 1982 as a cadet journalist at The Courier-Mail where she became a feature writer and columnist.

In the early 1990s, Phillips worked at TVQ-10 Brisbane as a reporter and presenter and she made her national debut as a regular presenter on Ten Eyewitness News weekend late edition (from Network Ten’s Brisbane studios) in 1993.

A year later, Phillips moved to Sydney to join Ron Wilson on TEN-10’s Ten News First at Five, succeeding Sandra Sully and she was the lead female presenter for the bulletin for two years and was later succeeded by Jessica Rowe.

In 1997, following a stint as a presenter with Sky News Australia, Phillips moved to London where she worked as a news presenter at BBC World News while at the same time running a London café. She later moved to CNN International, also in London, working mainly as co-anchor on CNN Today before returning to Australia as weekend presenter of ABC News in New South Wales.

In 2003, she moved to co-anchor ABC News NSW with Tony Eastley and later become a solo presenter of the bulletin.

During 2007, Phillips wrote a number of articles for The Bulletin including an article on animal rights activist Lyn White that caused some controversy.

In her 2010 book, A Pressure Cooker Saved My Life, she describes the episode as a result of a stress-induced laryngeal spasm.

The 54-year-old, taxpayer-funded television presenter used the young woman’s death to weigh into the Australian National University’s decision to rebuff an offer from the Ramsay Centre to fund a course on Western civilization.

Phillips, who has previously been a Ten newsreader in Sydney and Brisbane, made the comments on Saturday, two days before 10,000 people gathered at Princes Park in Carlton North, where Ms. Dixon died after walking home from an inner-city gig.

Her remark to her 10,500 Twitter followers has sparked outrage with one man describing it as ‘another outstanding example of the ABC’s cultural loathing of the West’.

Another man pointed out Western society had ‘the best framework in the world for protecting those who need it most’.

‘Stop shifting the blame from the actions of the worst individuals to the entire collective,’ he said.

One woman was also critical of the tweet, asking why certain journalists were more critical of Western civilization than Muslim societies, where female genital mutilation is still carried out.

‘Funny how these feminist reporters never report the female genital mutilation caused by Muslim women against their daughters,’ she said.

Former federal Labor leader Mark Latham said Phillips needed to apologize for her remarks.

‘For Juanita Phillips to be saying this, a slur on our civilization, a slur on our culture, she’s off the planet and she should apologize,’ he told Sydney radio 2GB presenter Ben Fordham on Tuesday.

Juanita Phillips’s tweeted was liked 1,300 times and attracted 639 comments and 389 retweets, with the vast majority of the comments panning the newsreader.

She has been the ABC’s Sydney newsreader since 2003 and last year bought a $2.7 million beach at Avalon, on the northern beaches, as part of her $316,000 salary, which was leaked to the media in 2013.
