Nauru blasts ABC 7:30 as biased - conspiring to destabilise Govt.

The Government of Nauru has demanded an apology from the ABC's 7:30 program for its "appallingly dishonest and biased" report last night of alleged corruption in Nauru and claims that a senior Government MP and father of seven attempted to hinder investigations into the death of his wife.
 
Justice Minister David Adeang said he was "offended and speechless" at the program's insensitive questioning of his wife's accidental death which left him and his children traumatised, labelling it "a new low in Australian journalism".
 
Noting that the program was based solely on six-year-old baseless and disproved claims as well as the allegations of disgruntled former government employees, Mr Adeang said the ABC was either "being used by or conspiring with the Nauru Opposition to destabilise the Government of Nauru".
 
"It is unprecedented for an Australian media organisation to interfere in the domestic politics of another country.
 
"The Australian Government, which funds the ABC, should launch an immediate investigation into this disgusting and unethical report and the relationship between these journalists and the Nauru Opposition."
 
He said the Government gave 7:30 a detailed response to their questions, yet this was not aired, "which only proves its bias".
 
The claims made by the program are old, having been aired in the Nauru Parliament in 2009 when current president Baron Waqa and Mr Adeang were in Opposition. The president at the time, Marcus Stephen - who subsequently resigned over corruption allegations - did not pursue the claims as there was no basis to them.
 
"We were elected to clean up the corruption and cronyism of the former government, and we did just that. Now all those people who were beneficiaries of this former corruption and have now lost their money, power and influence have conned some gullible ABC journalists into supporting them."
 
Mr Adeang said the embittered involvement in the report of the country's former chief justice and former magistrate, who are both Australians, suggested it was time for both of them to accept that they have lost the perks and cosy relationships they enjoyed under the former government, and move on.
 
The minister said the untrue and personal nature of the story means it is likely he will take defamation action against the ABC and those involved.
