Shameful. How many defamation actions is that the past year, all the result of slanders from far left and #metoo activists masquerading as journalists.
Isn't the CEO of the ABC supposed to be editor-in-chief, vetting what goes to air? If not, what is the purpose of the role?Former Senator and Sky News host Cory Bernardi launches legal action against ABC

Former Senator and Sky News host Cory Bernardi has launched legal action against the ABC after they aired allegations by Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young – which he vehemently denied – on their popular TV series Ms Represented.
It comes just several days after the ABC issued an apology to Mr Bernardi for failing to give him a “fair opportunity” to respond to the claims made during the program and they conceded they had breached their own editorial standards.
The ABC has been issued with legal documents by Mr Bernardi – a senator from 2006 to 2020 – and he is suing the public broadcaster for $400,000 in damages and ordered they remove the episode from its streaming platform iview as well as all promotional material and pay Mr Bernardi’s legal costs.
