After a two-year investigation, Australia's Communications and Media Authority, the country's TV regulator, has ruled that the Australian Broadcasting Corp. presented a biased and inaccurate report on the forestry industry in Tasmania. The report, which appeared on the ABC in February 2004, alleged that the Tasmanian government had close ties to the industry, in particular the timber company, Gunns Limited. The authority, Australia's counterpart to the FCC, ordered the ABC to review its procedures for producing news and documentary programs so that "every reasonable effort is made to ensure the impartiality of those programs."
