Corporate tax articles ‘inaccurate’. The ABC has published a summary of its complaints division’s investigation into Emma Alberici’s corporate tax articles. In response to an article in The Australian published today, quoting from an email Treasurer Scott Morrison sent the ABC, the ABC identified a few errors in the Oz’s article. The internal investigation upheld some parts of the complaints it fielded about the articles, but not all. Audience and Consumer Affairs said: “The ABC agreed that the original news story headline and ‘teasers’ for both stories written by the ABC’s business desk were materially inaccurate.” It also found that the analysis article “at times” read as opinion — something the ABC has previously acknowledged.

Luke Lazarus responds to Four Corners. The man acquitted (on appeal) of raping Saxon Mullins — the subject of a moving Four Corners which prompted a NSW review of consent provisions in the law — has responded to Four Corners in an interview on Sydney’s 2GB radio. Luke Lazarus gave the half-hour interview to presenter Ben Fordham, who preempted any potential criticism by calling what Lazarus had done “despicable”, and saying that “the court of public opinion views you as scum”. Lazarus said the “whole night” was “regrettable”, but that he’d been incorrectly shown as “as a guilty man getting away with a crime”, despite having been acquitted.

Lazarus maintained his innocence, and criticised Four Corners for apparently not fact checking parts of the program — Lazarus refused an interview with the program.

GQ trolls Vanity Fair. The cover of GQ’s comedy issue is out, and the mag has gone after Vanity Fair’s Photoshop fail in January’s Hollywood issue, which added an extra leg to actor Reese Witherspoon.

As part of the spoof, GQ has also issued an “apology”, saying “mistakes were made”.

Sun-Herald appointment. Fairfax has appointed Cosima Marriner as editor of its Sunday print edition, the Sun-Herald. Marriner has been a senior writer for the Sunday paper, and Sydney Morning Herald editor Lisa Davies tweeted there were “lots of exciting plans” in the works.

Glenn Dyer TV Ratings. Seven’s night in total people (thanks to its two main digital channels, 7TWO and 7mate) Nine’s night in the demos. MasterChef (1.07 million nationally) kept Ten in the hunt, but overall a very weak night if it hadn’t been for MasterChef and the NRL game on Nine (695,000 nationally and 230,000 on Foxtel). In Melbourne, in the battle of the AFL footy shows, The Front Bar on Seven with 211,000 viewers easily beat the more expensive AFL Footy Show on Nine, which could only crack 176,000. That’s a six goal win!

In regional markets Seven News was tops with 583,000, then Seven News/Today Tonight with 501,000, then Home and Away in third with 430,000, followed by the 5.30pm part of The Chase with 377,000 and Nine News 6.30 with 343,000. Read the rest at the Crikey website.
