ABC accused of activism ahead of journalism
Monday 15 June 2015 | Published in Regional
YAREN – The government of Nauru has sharply attacked the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, accusing it of spreading lies and replacing journalism with activism. The outburst comes just days after the ABC reported that a Queensland phosphate importer allegedly paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to Nauru’s justice minister, David Adeang. Nauru rejected the report and in a fresh statement, it now says sections of the Australian media continue to wage a campaign to destabilise the Nauru government by supporting members of the opposition who slander government MPs and spread lies about Nauru. It insists that recent amendments to the criminal code are consistent with the constitution, saying no one is being arrested, no one is in jail, and freedom of speech is very much alive. It also says Nauru’s legal system is arguably the most independent, transparent and credible in the Pacific.
