4 Corners NT Children in Detention

Friends I received an email over the weekend about the allegations that Senior Management (Michelle Guthrie) had actively "held back" the story on the NT Children in Detention atrocity. My response follows: To be honest I immediately had the exact same suspicion especially after the Nick Ross revelations in relation to senior management pressure for him to withhold his opinion and scrutiny of the NBN alternative being put forward by Malcolm Turnbull prior to the 2013 election. I have seen the accusations on Twitter and circulating on Facebook, I have also seen denials by Hanna Caro-Meldrum the ABC reporter on the story. I can only take at face value her assertions that they were given a scheduling date after the story was in the can and in all honesty apart from the radical right wing support base in the Territory this can only come as a fatal blow to the Liberal Country Party in the NT in regard to the forthcoming Territory election. In fact had this arisen during the election campaign Turnbull would probably have received a kick in his personal approval for calling a Royal Commission, it would have been necessary for him to work with the Labor Party as they were in caretaker mode, so the terrible decisions Turnbull has made in regard to the RC would probably not have occurred and could have assisted in the NT where the LNP did not win a lower house seat. I think the fact that people are seriously entertaining this theory goes to the heart of the problem our petition is seeking to address. Past actions and behaviour especially during the election campaign have made the public question the independence of our public broadcaster. These are only my opinions, but I feel the need for a Senate Inquiry is more apparent than ever before as the viewing public on all sides of politics have lost faith in the independence of the public broadcaster. Please continue to support our campaign by inviting as many people as possible to sign. Cheers Slow Burn
