ACMA found channel Seven Melbourne ‘in breach of the Commercial Television Industry Code of Practice’. According to the report, three complains were made and that prompted the investigation.
“The ACMA investigation found a claim broadcast in the current affairs program was inaccurate and in breach of the code. A Sunday Night reporter stated in the broadcast that there has been a considerable increase in crime by ‘African gangs’ and that they were responsible for ‘an alarming surge in violent crime’ in Victoria.”
