Uhlelo lwe-Channel Seven’s Spotlight on owayengu-Command u-Heston Russell usole i-ABC ngokwengeza umsindo wokudubula okuhlanu okwengeziwe kusiqeshana sevidiyo samasosha ase-Australia edubula endizeni enophephela emhlane e-Afghanistan.
Umqondisi ophethe kwa-ABC uDavid Anderson uthe “indaba yomsindo wevidiyo ehambisana nendaba eku-inthanethi” yethulwe ezindlebeni ze-ABC News ngesonto eledlule.
Kusukela lapho, ngokusekelwe ekuhloleni kokuqala, “iphutha lokuhlela kumsindo” selihlonziwe futhi ividiyo yasuswa, esho.
“Leli phutha bekungafanele lenzeke,” kusho uMnu Anderson.
Le vidiyo, eyaqoshwa ama-commandos ase-Australia esifundazweni sase-Afghanistan i-Helmand ngo-2012 futhi yasakazwa ngo-7.30 ngo-September 2022, yasuswa kusizindalwazi se-ABC News ngaphambi kohlelo lwangeSonto eledlule lwe-Spotlight kanti ngoLwesihlanu i-ABC yasusa yonke indaba eku-inthanethi ebivele kuyo.
Indaba yethimba le-ABC Investigations iphakamise imibuzo mayelana nokuziphatha kwe-2nd Commando Regiment e-Afghanistan, egxile ezinsolweni zezibalo zokubulala kanye nokusetshenziswa kwezinombolo zezisulu zesitha njengesilinganiso sokusebenza.
Uphenyo lwe-ABC luthi bathole amahora okusebenza kwama-commando e-Afghanistan ngo-2011 no-2012, futhi bagqamisa i-video abathi ikhombisa isosha lidubula isibhamu salo endizeni enophephela emhlane endaweni okwakubonakala sengathi izakhamuzi ezingahlomile ezihlala ezindaweni zokuhlala.

UMnu Stevens uthe “amaphutha enziwa ngempela” kwa-ABC futhi umsakazi kazwelonke “kufanele uwavume lapho singenza kangcono”.
“Siyisusile i-video futhi sisabheka ukuthi lokhu kwenzeke kanjani. Uma sesithole amaqiniso aphelele sizocacisa impendulo efanele,” kusho uMnu Stevens etshela izethameli mayelana nesithombe sikamakalabha.
“Kuze kube yilapho sesicaciselwa ukuthi kwenzeke kanjani, ngeke ngibe ngisaphawula ngakho, ukuze ngingakucacisi lokho.”
Inhloko yokubuyekezwa okuzimele izomenyezelwa ezinsukwini ezizayo
Ezinye izinsolo selokhu zenziwe mayelana nokubika kwe-ABC nokusebenzisa kwayo ikhamera ye-helmet, okuhlanganisa nendlela eyahlelwa ngayo ukuze isakazwe ohlelweni lwe-7.30, uMnu Anderson wengeza.
“Manje sekufike ezindlebeni zami ukuthi ngoNovemba 2022, i-ABC Legal yathunyelwa incwadi ezwakalisa ukukhathazeka ngokuhlelwa komsindo. Ngokudabukisayo, le ncwadi, noma imininingwane ekule ncwadi, ayizange isatshalaliswe kwa-ABC News,” esho. .

“Ukuthembela ku-ABC kwakhiwe ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ngokuhlinzeka ngobuntatheli obuvelele, ukusekela izindinganiso eziqinile zokuhlela kanye nokubeka obala emphakathini mayelana nendlela esikwenza ngayo lokho. I-ABC izimisele ukugcina lokho kuthembana.”
UMnu u-Anderson akazange acacise ukuthi ngubani owayesemuva kwencwadi etholwe wumnyango wezomthetho wakwa-ABC.
U-Anderson uthe uzomemezela ukuthi ngubani ophethe lesi sibuyekezo esizimele ezinsukwini ezizayo, kodwa wama esimeni somphakathi mayelana nokubika kwe-ABC.
“Izindaba ezithinta umphakathi eziphakanyiswe yilezi zindaba zisasebenza,” esho.
