The federal Communications Minister has asked the ABC for a “please explain” over why and how the broadcaster added extra gunshots to audio it used to wrongly claim former Australian Commando Heston Russell had committed war crimes. The online ABC story, which incorrectly suggested Russell had fired at unarmed civilians, has subsequently been taken down from the public broadcaster’s website after an investigation by 7NEWS’ Spotlight .
“The Government believes the ABC should continue to be so,” she said. “The minister is of course aware of the legislation that governs the ABC, and all the obligations that arise under that.” At the end of question time Senator McAllister confirmed the Minister had requested a briefing from the ABC on the investigation into the doctored audio.
