4 Corners & Q&A tonight

[Black Orchid]

Dumping 20,000 Haitians into a town of 60,000 and then giving them a car is trouble and you're going to get consequential trouble from both sides.

Why is the ABC still being funded btw? Why haven't they been shut down?
Their lies about Heston Russell and their deliberately doctoring video footage to pursue their agenda is a disgrace to our nation.

Why are we paying for this?

Do you have a link?

It was on Spotlight on Sunday night. 7news has been updating the story. The ABC added gunfire to a helmet video trying to make out that Heston Russell was killing innocent civilians. He wasn't. That, in and of itself, should be enough to shut them down.

He's already won a lawsuit against them for defamationn but its ongoing.

An audio expert has claimed video footage published by the ABC was altered to add five extra gunshots, making it appear that an Australian soldier was firing at an unarmed Afghan man.

In October 2023, former special forces commando Heston Russell won his defamation case against the ABC after a Federal Court judge ruled the broadcaster could not prove articles it published were in the public interest.

Mr Russell sued the ABC and two investigative journalists for defamation over stories that he claimed gave the false impression he was under investigation for shooting an unarmed prisoner.

Those stories, written and produced by journalists Mark Willacy and Josh Robertson, aired on television, radio and online in October 2020 and on November 19, 2021.

The defamation case is estimated to have cost taxpayers up to $3.5million in legal fees on top of the almost $400,000 in damages paid to Mr Russell

Now, independent forensic digital audio expert James Raper has told Channel Seven's Spotlight he was 'shocked' by what he discovered when asked to examine a video published by the ABC about the alleged war crimes.

Mr Raper examined the video showing six gunshots being fired from a helicopter at an Afghan man, comparing it with original video of the incident taken from the soldier's helmet camera.

He said the evidence pointed to audio of six gunshots being 'copied and pasted' from a different clip and applied to video of a single warning shot being fired.

'It completely misrepresents what those soldiers were going through that day,' he told the program.

It's happened more than once.

That's amazing - they should lose their license for that.
