The ABC has recently withdrawn a mini-series examining the 1975 disappearance of Sydney activist Juanita Nielsen from its streaming platform. It said it had done so because new information had been received that cast doubt on claims made in the program that an undercover ‘sting’ had unearthed her murderer. Author Peter Rees, who has followed the Nielsen case for decades, contends that the ABC had been "duped" by the claims, which he says were "preposterous". Rees says it shows the ABC needs to improve its fact checking.
