Are they making things up on the run now? We asked them and will post what they say.
Here's the reply in full, also posted with the original complaint HERE
Thank you for your email regarding The World Today report Head of UN climate change team calls it quits.
There are no ABC reporters named Nance Saxton. The ABC reporter who filed this report is named Nance Haxton.
The views of Senator Wong and Tim Flannery are their own, they are not the views of the ABC. For the purposes of section 5 of the Editorial Policies, the comments of contributors are not considered factual content.
Audience and Consumer Affairs believe the interviews were suitably questioning, on the issue that was the focus of the report; the continuity of negotiations over a global climate treaty following the departure of the top UN official on climate change.
Audience and Consumer Affairs believe the report is in keeping with section 5 of the ABC Editorial Policies, which are available online at; http://abc.net.au/corp/pubs/ edpols.htm
Nevertheless, you can be assured that your comments have been brought to the attention of ABC News management.
