Here we have on one hand journalists and media coys wanting the RightToKnow . Now we have one of those media outlets sprouting fakenews The media cannot have both ways.
Well done ABC for calling out the Racing Industry on this. This is exactly why we expect from a Public Broadcaster.
They are obviously doing a good job when they get one of the most corrupting influences in NSW complaining. The NSW Rum Corpsnever left it seems.
Coward!
ABC This organisation promotes propaganda, It cause division in Australian society, It promotes hatred, Its sensational and often false journalism, It promotes Hysteria, It damages peoples lives, It damages industry. It damages businesses, It damages Australia. Shut it Down
Thank you ABC for Real Journalism
Russell Balding is pissed off because the racing/horse communities were found wanting and the footage showed how discracefull the horses were treated.

'Utterly gutted': ABC issues apology after #MeToo privacy blunderA pre-broadcast version of Tracey Spicer's documentary Silent No More inadvertently revealed the names and faces of rape and domestic violence survivors without their consent. I hope this mistake doesnt take away from a great story that needs to be told kuku27 It is a breach of law, a serious offense and offensive to coming from a widely experienced, respected Journalist/writer Tracey Spicer. Apology is already offered but some hard decisions need to be taken so such incidents do not occur again Ah well.......Looks like another ABCer will be amongst their next lot of ABC culling.
