## Resource

ACMA slaps ABC’s Four Corners with an impartiality breach over a damning report on the Australian War Memorial’s $500 million redevelopment, sparking a firestorm between media watchdogs and the memorial’s leadership. The episode, criticized for skewing toward detractors and ignoring the project’s accolades, was prompted by a complaint from council chair Kim Beazley—who insists the redevelopment is a success and that the report unfairly tarnished their reputation. While ACMA found no factual errors, it ruled the program violated broadcast fairness rules. The ABC fiercely opposes the ruling, warning it could cripple investigative journalism by setting an impossible standard for public interest reporting. Meanwhile, the National Audit Office confirmed strong management of the project, despite minor governance issues—expected to wrap up by 2028.
