ABC staff have been threatened with the sack and warned about posting personal views on social media after a journalist made false claims about fallen AFL powerhouse Eddie McGuire on Twitter.
After McGuire resigned as president of Collingwood Football Club on Tuesday, the next day Sally Neighbour, executive producer of ABC s Four Corners, took to Twitter drawing conclusions between his demise and billionaire James Packer s setbacks.
An independent inquiry found that Crown was unsuitable to hold a casino licence due in part to Packer s threats to private equity executive Ben Gray. The casino planned for Barangaroo was intended to be a Packer family monument.
Neighbour said McGuire and Packer had both enjoyed a life of privilege but the former was born into a working class family and is a self-made man.
“Uncanny similarities between these men,” Neighbour said on Twitter. “A lifetime of wealth and privilege. For decades, too powerful to be challenged. Finally brought low by their own actions. The reaction, denial and self pity, ‘I had no idea’, ‘I did my best’.”
Neighbour said McGuire and Packer were “hubris personified” and was tweeting about her joy that Packer’s Crown Resorts had been found unsuitable to hold a casino licence and that McGuire had resigned.
