The ABC’s managing director has vowed to make “relevant changes” after admitting the airing of a skit involving a violent, sexualised attack on Australian businesswoman Gina Rinehart was “wrong”.

So the ABC has finally relented and, it appears begrudgingly, apologised to Gina Rinehart

Let’s begin with brilliant satire and then get to the crapola that is our ABC. Or should we say “their ABC”.

The ABC has apologised to Gina Rinehart for airing an offensive short film that featured a doomsday scenario in which the billionaire mining magnate would be violently assaulted, despite an internal review determining the skit was just a "hyperbolic joke".

Readers will likely recall a time or two when, as children, they got caught doing something wrong – only to be asked the devastating question, “are you sorry you did it, or sorry you got caught?”

Kyle Chalmers has thanked Mrs Gina Rinehart for “investing in our dreams” after Hancock Prospecting awarded more than $1.27 million in bonuses to Australia’s Commonwealth Games swimming medallists.
