which aired on the taxpayer-funded broadcaster earlier this month<\/a>, featured remarks about a “revolution” before describing an attack on the billionaire businesswoman in explicit terms.<\/p>\nThe four-minute film, titled “A Very Relaxing Video”, was created by Race Around the World contestant Kate McGuinness while filming in Scotland.<\/p>\n
The segment included a sexually violent reference to Australia’s richest woman.<\/p>\n
“Because when the revolution comes, will you hide under the bed? Or will you know exactly how to shove a stick right up Gina Rinehart’s butthole,” the film said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Stirring it around, mixing her guts up nice and smooth, making her into one big sausage roll to make something out of nothing.”<\/p>\n
When approached for comment, an ABC spokesperson told SkyNews.com.au the film was “intended to be satirical” and therefore “editorially justifiable”.<\/p>\n
“Race Around the World features films created by amateur filmmakers, whose contributions reflect their own viewpoints and creative treatments,” they said on Friday.<\/p>\n
“While contributors are not ABC journalists, all content broadcast by the ABC is subject to the ABC’s editorial standards, policies, and review processes.<\/p>\n
“In this case, the film was intended to be satirical in tone and considered to be editorially justifiable within the context of the program.<\/p>\n
“We recognise that audiences may respond differently to creative content and hold a range of views about how it is presented.<\/p>\n
“One of the judges critiqued the film during their assessment, and that feedback was included in the program.”<\/p>\n
On Monday, Sky News host Andrew Bolt questioned why the ABC allowed the segment to air and has accused the broadcaster of failing to act after the broadcast.<\/p>\n
“That obscene and vicious rant, that pornographic vision of violence, which the ABC must have seen in advance … that went to air,” he said.<\/p>\n
“The ABC still chose to show it.”<\/p>\n
He argued the segment was inconsistent with the ABC\u2019s own standards.<\/p>\n
The code says content should be created in a way that is respectful towards audiences and mindful of community standards around harm and offence.<\/p>\n
The ABC has not removed the segment from its platforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The ABC has defended a\u00a0Race Around the World episode which called for graphic violence against Hancock Prospecting boss…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":57864,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[60013,60039,45343,39612,60020,60050,60034,39719,60054,1647,60012,31415,60023,60026,60022,48229,31763,22,60042,23,21,60019,31752,60036,60035,60055,60037,60008,39751,16178,60009,8921,9715,2709,1928,60011,60018,60056,60024,60040,60057,60030,60017,60016,37045,60021,34917,17611,32887,33963,44847,60032,60043,2206,60044,60052,36517,39316,60047,60015,39660,60029,60031,42006,41300,60048,55727,60010,60045,60053,41308,60049,53868,60038,60014,37120,60041,60046,60025,60028,60051,41818,60033,41298,7944,60027],"class_list":["post-57863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-s-own-standards","tag-a-revolution","tag-a-race","tag-a-range","tag-a-sexually-violent-reference","tag-a-stick","tag-a-very-relaxing-video","tag-a-way","tag-a-wild-segement","tag-abc","tag-abc-journalists","tag-advance","tag-all-content","tag-amateur-filmmakers","tag-an-abc-spokesperson","tag-an-attack","tag-andrew-bolt","tag-au","tag-audiences","tag-australia","tag-austrlia","tag-butthole","tag-comment","tag-community-standards","tag-content","tag-contributors","tag-creative-content","tag-creative-treatments","tag-earlier-this-month","tag-editorial-standards","tag-explicit-terms","tag-films","tag-friday","tag-getty-images","tag-gina-rinehart","tag-graphic-gina-rinehart-segment","tag-graphic-violence","tag-hancock-prospecting-boss-gina-rinehart","tag-harm-and-offence","tag-her-guts","tag-its-platforms","tag-its-race","tag-kate-mcguinness","tag-mindful","tag-monday","tag-one-big-sausage-roll","tag-picture","tag-policies","tag-program","tag-race","tag-remarks","tag-review-processes","tag-richest-woman","tag-scotland","tag-sexually-graphic-violence","tag-sky-news-host-andrew-bolt","tag-skynews-com-au","tag-that-feedback","tag-that-obscene-and-vicious-rant","tag-that-pornographic-vision","tag-the-abc","tag-the-bed","tag-the-billionaire-businesswoman","tag-the-broadcast","tag-the-broadcaster","tag-the-code","tag-the-context","tag-the-film","tag-the-four-minute-film","tag-the-judges","tag-the-program","tag-the-revolution","tag-the-segment","tag-the-short-film","tag-the-taxpayer-funded-broadcaster","tag-the-world","tag-the-world-contestant-kate-mcguinness","tag-the-world-episode","tag-the-world-program","tag-their-assessment","tag-their-own-viewpoints","tag-this-case","tag-tone","tag-views","tag-violence","tag-whose-contributions"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57863","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57863"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57863\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57864"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57863"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57863"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
