ABC have given an update on what Dutton’s response to this question was, stating he gave no evidence and has already been “reprimanded” on this by experts for using it as a “political football” #abcnews

Furious Peter Dutton snaps after being asked what evidence he has of a ramping up of child sexual abuse in Alice Springs & why he is rejecting the views of Peak Bodies…. …But before he can be completely humiliated the broadcast is abruptly cut short. #ABCNews

Spud: “F*** not this guy again” Thank you @leesaulrobinson ❤️

Dana Morse and her ABC colleague who asked Dutton a serious question, are quality journalists

Every time I see @DanaMorse_ I'm impressed more & more by her fine reporting & presentation! #abcnews

Having now seen his full response and the ABC info about him having been warned not to go down that track, I think they did the right thing not to allow him to continue to spread misinformation.

Why did the ABC cut the interview off in the first place? Whoever is in charge of that should be sacked

I call for this reporter providing the update & the previous ABC reporter who asked the question of Dolly to compère @QandA & @InsidersABC immediately.

This is outstanding journalism @DanaMorse_ Top tier work

This is how you journalism. Well done @DanaMorse_

So he’s trying to spark a moral panic in other words- kind of becoming his MO

All the Teal independents should send Dutton a thank you note. He is ensuring they will be elected for another term.

This isn't just the right thing. It's actually journalism. We've become immune to our lame msm giving pollies a free ride. Noice change ABC. Noice.
