Abo commenced her television career in 2008 at
Network 10's Adelaide newsroom, where she initially worked as an archiving and production assistant, before becoming a
Ten News reporter. After two years, Abo moved back to Melbourne, where she continued to work as a reporter for Network 10 for another three years. In 2014, Abo completed a fellowship at
CNN in
Atlanta, Georgia. Abo was a presenter and journalist for SBS for the
2014 FIFA World Cup. She regularly filled in as co-host of Nine's breakfast show
Today including in March 2022 when regular co-host
Allison Langdon contracted
COVID-19. Abo was chosen to moderate the second
leaders' debate between
Scott Morrison and
Anthony Albanese prior to the
2022 Australian federal election which aired on 8 May 2022. After the debate, Abo was the subject of a controversial tweet posted by
Mark Latham, the New South Wales state leader of
Pauline Hanson's One Nation, who seemingly used Abo's surname as a racial slur. Criticising Abo's performance as moderator, Latham said "never trust an Abo with something as important as that". The Nine Network said that they intended to report Latham's comments to the authorities, while praising Abo's handling of the debate. In November 2022, Abo was announced as the new co-host of the
Nine Network's breakfast program
Today in 2023, replacing
Ally Langdon, who was appointed as the host of
A Current Affair following the retirement of
Tracy Grimshaw. In December 2023, Nine announced that Abo would host
Carols by Candlelight with
David Campbell. ==Personal life==
