We last posted on missing news items on ABC in 2015. ABC's inherent Green-left bias means that any news item falling outside ABC's collective hive mind ends up classified as doubleplusungood, unfit for Australian consumption. Don't let the facts get in the way and spoil our alarmist fun.

Their ABC, diverse views and the FOI Act
When is it OK for our national broadcaster to thumb its nose at its

Reports and reviews Summary reports going back to 2002.
To confuse matters ABC news has their own corrections page. It too is buried. To find it:

Scroll down to the small print at the bottom of the page where you'll find a link titled:
This has a list of corrections back to 2010.
Details of ABC's complaints were also previously posted in Annual reports when they were referred to the now defunct "Independent Complaints Review Panel".
