The interim “Line of Fire” review, led by former ABC executive Alan Sunderland, says the editing errors in three ABC reports on the 2nd commando regiment were not deliberate.
Audio of extra gunshots was not added deliberately into three ABC reports on the Australian Army’s 2nd Commando Regiment in 2022, an independent interim report found on Tuesday morning.
ABC news director Justin Stevens said the broadcaster stands by its investigations into the alleged conduct of Australian soldiers, despite issuing two apologies following its publication.Stevens said while deeply regrettable, the editing errors do not weaken the value of the ABC’s reporting over many years on the crucial issues of Australian soldiers overseas.
Stevens will appear in Canberra on Tuesday alongside other ABC executives. Anderson is on medical leave and will miss Senate estimates for only the second time in his six years as ABC boss, with chief financial officer Melanie Kleyn to appear in his place. ABC chair Kim Williams notified the Senate committee of Anderson’s absence last week.Stevens said the ABC sincerely regretted the errors and apologised for the footage, including to members of the 2nd Commando Regiment.
