Why has the ABC thought it necessary to broadcast this lengthy defence of its reporting of the Cardinal Pell saga?

I must confess I didn't pay much attention to the saga, which I see from this article must have run for years. But it looks like the ABC feels it has a need to cover its backside in the light of the cardinal being found not guilty instead of being hung, drawn & quartered as it seems the ABC expected.
I don't remember having seen the ABC delivering such a mea culpa about anything for as long as I can remember.
Are they fearing a defamation suit?

Other media organisations have commented on ABC reporting on the matter, so the ABC is placing its version of events in the public domain. Nothing to do with prospective defamation action.
