The Complaint
A listener complained that a report about an oil spill near Gladstone, on Queensland’s coast,
reported that 25,000 tonnes of heavy fuel was spilt, when it was in fact 25,000 litres.
The Response
The ABC agreed that the report was incorrect. The online transcript was amended.
(25,000t of heavy fuel would equate to about 26.3 million litres, assuming density of about 0.95kg/l)
