As a result, Liberal Democrats MP David Limbrick wrote to the ABC board demanding an investigation into the “circumstances around the production and broadcast” of the program.He said V’landys’s fresh reaction would allow the judge to gauge his reaction and any potential damages.The ABC’s barrister, Clarissa Amato, told the court the ABC denied the program had defamatory meaning and questioned how V’landys could be awarded damages if he claimed injury without having seen the episode.“[The program] deprived the applicant of the opportunity to explain, as was fact that Racing NSW has no jurisdiction over Queensland,” he said.“Further, in NSW it is illegal for an abattoir to process a horse for human consumption, unlike other states,” he added.Zhao told The Epoch Times: “They [the ABC] didn’t tell me what the program is about or what question they wanted to ask or how my interview would be used.”“He repeatedly asked, in the course of the interview, what material they had showing the appalling treatment of racehorses,” he added, saying “the journalist declined to show the video or to describe it … so he was completely in the dark.”V’landys’s barrister, Bruce McClintock SC, told the federal court on July 27 that his client was “ambushed” by the ABC.The segment titled “The Final Race” was aired in Oct. 2019 and alleged that hundreds of former racehorses were being sent to a slaughterhouse in Caboolture, an hour north of Brisbane, in Queensland.In the statement of claim against ABC, V’landys says he has been “greatly injured” by the program and that his business, personal, and professional reputation has been brought into disrepute.However, McClintock says V’landys was “very, very well aware” of the program’s content and that the barrister was planning to show him the footage for the first time in the witness box.“They just wanted to get some words they wanted from me and were not interested in listening or reporting truthfully what I want to express,” she added.Further, he alleges ABC’s “7.30” program failed to inform him of secret recordings from the Queensland slaughterhouse, despite repeated requests to ABC reporter Caro Meldrum-Hanna for evidence of horses being mistreated.V’landys, the CEO of Racing New South Wales (NSW), agreed to be interviewed for the program, however, he claims he was misrepresented by the broadcast and depicted as permitting “the wholesale slaughter of thoroughbred horses.”“He is claiming damages for hurt feelings when he has never seen the program,” the ABC’s barrister said.Zhao offered to introduce ABC to Falun Gong practitioners locally so the report could be “balanced and fair,” but the ABC were not “interested.” The Australian Law Reform Commission acknowledges the traditional owners and custodians of country throughout Australia and acknowledges their continuing connection to land, sea and community.
