The ABC is facing fresh turmoil with the managing director publicly apologising to mining magnate Gina Rinehart over a fictional segment depicting violence against her. “The ABC apologises to Mrs Rinehart and to anyone else affected or upset by the publication of the film.” The ABC aired a show that made a joke about mixing Gina Rinehart's guts into a sausage roll. In a statement published by the ABC, McGuinness said her comments were not meant to be taken seriously and were not intended to promote violence. Gina Rinehart threatened the ABC with legal action over a film shown on Race Around the World.
