An extremely distressed Tasmanian has reportedly filed an official complaint with the Australian national broadcaster the ABC after a reporter interrupted the minute s silence at Hobart s Invasion Day rally to perform a live cross.
Edith Bevin was speaking to the camera, making remarks on how many people have turned up when she was confronted by a woman who repeatedly asked how dare you?
The reporter pushed through, even when a man, presumably the camera operator, tried to move the woman away.

Premium Content  An ABC reporter has been lashed on social media for speaking during a minute s silence at an Invasion Day rally in Hobart. It s been interesting to see how many people have turned up to the rally. Behind me now, they re engaged in a minute s silence, Edith Bevin said. Obviously this is a day that marks what the Aboriginal community in Tasmania refer to as Invasion Day - the day (of) white settlement of Australia - and certainly there are a lot of placards about calling for that date to be changed, to be more inclusive.
