The ABC has been forced to apologise to an Aboriginal leader and campaigner against Indigenous domestic violence after accusing her of spreading racist vitriol .
Alice Springs Deputy Mayor Jacinta Nampijinpa Price had taken legal action against the national broadcaster which was dropped as part of a settlement which included the apology.
The former children s television presenter is a Warlpiri/Celtic woman who rails against the high levels of family violence in remote Indigenous communities.
She has argued to maintain Australia Day on January 26, saying moves to change the date are a distraction from the real plights of disadvantaged Aboriginal Australians.
ABC Coffs Coast and ABC Alice Springs broadcast radio segments about Jacinta Nampijinpa Price s speaking tour and local reactions to it in Coffs Harbour, including a media release put out by the Coffs Harbour and District Local Aboriginal Land Council, Ms Poole said. The ABC understands that the Land Council has withdrawn and apologised to Ms Price for statements contained in that media release, which it accepts are false and defamatory, and which caused distress to Ms Price and her family. The ABC did not endorse the opinions contained in the media release, and apologises to Ms Price and her family for the hurt and distress caused by broadcasting those views.
