‘We all need to do better’: Findings released after review into racism at ABC

The ABC has released the findings of an independent review looking at the systems and processes in support of staff who have experienced racism.

First announced in May last year after the national broadcaster was forced to deny claims it ignored research into online abuse of its minority background journalist, the review has been released following interviews with 120 current and former staff.

Led by Indigenous lawyer, Dr Terri Janke, the Listen Loudly, Act Strongly review has made 15 recommendations, which ABC managing director David Anderson said it would accept all in principle.

“On behalf of everyone at the ABC, I am sorry for any and all racist behaviour and past harms experienced by our Indigenous and CALD employees, either currently or formerly employed,” Anderson said on Tuesday.
