ABC Drops Australian Story Episode: Mans Scam Lawsuit Exposed

The ABC pulled an episode of Australian Story at the last minute, focusing on Ian Williams, a 73-year-old from Bendigo who sued a bank subsidiary for $1,338 lost to a scam. The episode was halted after learning Williams had a 1993 conviction for indecent assault, which he didnt disclose. Williams served two years in jail and later apologized for hiding his past and wasting taxpayer money. The ABC also removed a 37-minute Background Briefing episode and related online material. Williams lawsuit against UBank for $379 million symbolically was dismissed, and the bank refunded his money.
