Australian Press Council finds The Australian article likely to cause ‘substantial offence’

The Australian Press Council (APC) has partially upheld a complaint from ABC Four Corners’ reporter Louise Milligan against an editorial in The Australian, finding the article was likely to cause  “substantial offence and distress.”

The piece in question, titled ‘Greatest enemy of truth is those who conspire to lie‘, was published two years ago under ‘commentary’ in The Australian without a by-line.
