Reportedly this story was initially withdraw by ABC management due to Four Corners inability to elicit a response from ScoMo to their questions. Clearly the kids were happy to publish regardless but the adults stepped in.
So Four Corners petitioned the Canberra gallery to ask ScoMo live but they refused lol. So the kids threw a tantrum and leaked about management pulling the story.
If nothing else this episode demonstrates how the Four Corners clique are a law unto themselves with no respect for oversight and even shunned by their Canberra colleagues. They should be sacked.
