The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) removes two Four Corners investigations, “Meth Highway” and “Cocaine Nation,” from availability and initiates an independent review. The action follows concerns raised about the reliability of sources used in the programs. According to reports, ABC takes the episodes offline while the review is carried out, and the matter is being assessed through an independent process rather than internally. The steps indicate the network is responding to questions about the underpinning information for the investigations, with the review expected to examine source material and whether it meets appropriate standards. The decision is presented as precautionary, with no conclusion stated in the reports about the accuracy of the underlying allegations in the episodes. Both outlets report the same titles affected and the same rationale: concerns about source reliability prompting removal and an independent examination. The ABC’s actions are therefore focused on verifying information and ensuring its reporting processes are properly assessed.
