ABC Australia withdraws two episodes of its investigative program Four Corners—“Meth Highway” and “Cocaine Nation”—that were produced by recently sacked reporter Mahmood Fazal. Multiple outlets report the programs are taken down amid concerns about the accuracy of material presented in the episodes. ABC’s decision follows Fazal’s dismissal and appears aimed at ensuring the broadcaster meets its editorial standards. The reports describe the removal as a withdrawal from access, indicating the episodes are no longer publicly available in their previous form. While the sources agree on the withdrawal and the reason given—accuracy concerns—they do not provide further detail on which specific claims or segments are disputed, nor do they outline any subsequent review process or replacement plans. The actions are presented as part of ABC’s response to quality and factual reliability issues linked to the episodes produced by Fazal.
