  • Bad Aunty: Seven Years On, How ABC Lateline Sparked the Racist NT Intervention
    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Bad Aunty: Seven Years On, How ABC Lateline Sparked The Racist NT Intervention By Chris Graham on June 21, 2015 A Howard government policy that decimated Aboriginal communities in 2006 is still reverberating today. Chris Graham takes a look at a scandal that the ABC would rather you not hear about. Self-praise is really no recommendation, so, in 2011, when television personality Tony Jones described ABC Lateline’s 2006 coverage of sexual violence in remote Northern Territory Aboriginal communities – reporting which led directly to the 2007 NT intervention – as among the best he’d ever seen, I was a little underwhelmed. Jones, of course, is the former anchor of Lateline, now the face of the popular Q&A program. 2 My sense of unease wasn’t helped by the fact that Lateline’s coverage proved extremely popular with politicians. Generally speaking, when conservatives get ‘excited’ about Aboriginal affairs, some blackfella somewhere in the country is going to get screwed. But excited they got, and few more so than Dave Tollner, Country Liberal Party MP, and the Member for Fong Lim, in the Northern Territory parliament. In my career, I’ve only ever had one encounter with Tollner. It was in Alice Springs in 2009, when the Northern Territory parliament moved south to Alice Springs for a session, to ‘bring democracy to the people’. I sat in the public gallery directly behind Tollner throughout much of the proceedings. For several days I watched him surf Facebook on his laptop. Occasionally, he’d leap to his feet to direct some class-clown barb at the Opposition, only to sit back down and resume the Facebook hunt.

    This photograph shows the staff of the Wide Bay News, Maryborough, circa 1911. Note, the boys and the woman. The News was established on 2 November 1870 by Ebenezer Thorne, newspaperman, politician and property developer. Its first editor was Carl Feilberg, later the editor of various Queensland titles. He was outspoken on relations between the whites and the indigenous people. The Wide Bay News became a bi-weekly in 1873, a tri-weekly in 1882 (after the Maryborough Chronicle became a daily) and a daily on 2 October 1911. It ceased publication on 29 November 1919. William Edward Lingard was the managing director who implemented the shutdown. Lingard began work as a run boy for the Queensland Times, Ipswich, on 8 October 1890 and rose to become the manager. He left in September 1913 after working at the paper for 23 years, became the manager of the Wide Bay News and within a few months enlarged it from six to eight pages daily. Lingard returned to Ipswich and became general manager of the Queensland Times, 1922-1928 and was also “Uncle William” of the “Children’s Corner” section. He was general manager of the Newcastle Morning Herald, 1928-1941. Lingard died on 20 July 1952, aged 76. See ANHG 109.4.1 and 2 below.
