Sarah Hanson Young is one of the best representatives in politics today. She speaks from the heart and is not controlled by others. She does not conform to the content devoid political robots under big business.

And the dumb male dominator's don't like it one bit.

If we had more think for themselves parliamentarians we could perhaps recover democracy.

What has she done for a Australia apart from wanting to open our borders to boat people smugglers and create havoc with the Labor Party for renewable energy which is now proving a failure.

She spat the dummy when she lost the Shadow Immigration portfolio.......She was demoted ....
 
The ABC has been discredited again and showing very little sign of accurate and honest reporting.....It is discerning that this taxpayer funded organisation is still attempting to get away with their Fabian (socialist...communism) injected propaganda.

The ABC are so blatantly biased, even blind Freddie can see through them.

Time for the government to take some action.......Chop off their funds or privatise them.

The ABC has endured excoriating criticism of its flagship current *affairs program, Four Corners, after Monday’s episode about refugee children on Nauru was found to include old photographs of facilities no longer in use, and random footage of brawling adults, previously published on YouTube by a user known only as “NoRulz”.

During intense questioning at Senate estimates yesterday, ABC editorial director Alan Sunderland admitted the ABC did not film the footage that went to air on Monday night, but said he was satisfied the vision was “appropriate” for a program devoted to the lives of refugee children on Nauru.

Immigration Minister Peter Dutton last night accused the ABC of irresponsibility and said Four Corners had declined to use new photos and videos, offered by his office, of schools upgraded at a cost of $8.3 million.

The Australian has established that the program included what appears to be random footage of a group of men on Nauru hitting each other with steel poles that can also be found on a YouTube channel run by NoRulz.

On YouTube, the footage is in a video called “Who Let The Dogs Out”. It is one of a series of fight videos posted by NoRulz, who has also posted clips called “Nauru **** **** Fight” and “Batud the Deadly”.

The ABC used the footage to *illustrate the Four Corners argument that Nauru is a violent *society where refugees feel unsafe, because they have witnessed and been subjected to acts of violence.

And where did you get idea from?

The Nauru government said: "There are fights in Australian schools on a daily basis (and) the Australian news shows acts of crime each night that are far more violent that anything Nauru has experienced.

“This report was an embarrassment to journalism. From start to finish it was denigrating, racist, false and pure political activism.”

The Four Corners program was based on an Amnesty International report that claims that Australia's regional processing regime on Nauru amounts to torture.

Malcolm Turnbull denied this on ABC radio yesterday, saying: "I reject that claim totally. It is absolutely false.”

I wasn't endorsing their position or arguing it either way, just that they announced on the breakfast news they stood by their content.

Whether indefinite detention is "torture" is a matter of opinion either way. Just because the PM says it isn't so doesn't make him correct. In fact he would only know if he has been through that experience himself, and he hasn't.

But they are not in detention, as has been pointed out. They are free to roam about Nauru.
 
This isn't the first time the ABC has burnt its hands with its coverage of asylum seeker issues.

It doesn't seem to care though.

Can you really associate the true meaning of torture and relate it to refugees living on Nauru.

Those people are free to roam the island at will.....Some have set up their own business and some have jobs.....They have good schooling for the kids and a health system which would be the envy of the world.

Are they inflicted with pain of torture as described in the link below?

Of course they are not....Just more dirty propaganda from the socialist left ABC....What ever it takes to discredit the Turnbull government.

Some data please on how many have set up business and have jobs.

Torture can also be pyschological as well as physical.
 
Did any of you from the Green/Labor socialist left coalition read in full this statement from the Nauru government or was it too much to accept how wrong the ABC has been?

Statement from the Government of Nauru – Re: Four Corners Oct 17, 2016

Last night’s Four Corners program on the ABC was yet another example of the ABC’s biased political propaganda and lies, and was an insult to the people of Nauru.



It was clear that these children were coached, and that the entire process of filming the refugees was stage-managed, as the program has not been to Nauru. Despite this, viewers could clearly see that the refugees featured were well dressed, well-groomed and healthy. We know they will say anything to influence the Australian Government to bring them to Australia - a goal that motivated them to pay large amounts of money to people smugglers – which includes making false claims against the Nauruan people.



The program, which did not seek comment from the Government of Nauru before going to air, misrepresented the facts and allowed Save the Children – a discredited organisation that had a clear agenda when on Nauru – to make wild and unsubstantiated claims.



No child is in detention on Nauru, and children live with their families in safe and comfortable accommodation, mostly in new housing close to shops, facilities and beaches. Nauru is not a violent country and has a crime rate lower than Australia. There are fights in Australian schools on a daily basis and there is crime in Australia. The Australian news shows acts of crime each night that are far more violent that anything Nauru has experienced; so on this basis, Four Corners should be campaigning for no refugees to be allowed into such a violent society as Australia. Clearly they would not advocate this because it would – in context – be incorrect, yet they are willing to falsely portray Nauru as an unsafe nation, which it is not.



The program showed incorrect pictures of schools in a deliberate attempt to misrepresent the facts, while not mentioning the educational facilities across Nauru that are similar to Australian schools, not speaking to any Nauruan educators or principals, and not showing the new school that was recently completed. It also missed the point that if Nauruan schools are good enough for our children, why are they not for refugee children?



In the same way the program showed the old Nauru hospital which is no longer in operation, and failed to mention the new $27 million state of the art medical facility to which refugees have unrestricted and free access.



This report was an embarrassment to journalism. From start to finish it was denigrating, racist, false and pure political activism.
