Fact or Fear: the losing battle for science and evidence-based reporting

CropLife is disappointed to see the ABC abandon its own long-standing journalistic principles of integrity, responsibility and accuracy with recent online reporting of agricultural chemical regulation in promotion of an upcoming episode of Landline. It would appear that Landline has also abandoned those same principles if ABC online reports are a true representation of the story. The conclusions drawn not only stand in stark contrast to the conclusion of every scientific regulatory authority on the planet, it raises further questions about the credibility of scientific reporting standards that the ABC sets for itself and that the Australian community deserve.
