ABC Apology... good enough?
Statement from Kim Dalton, Director of ABC TV and Julian Morrow, Executive Producer The Chaser’s War on Everything
The Chaser’s War on Everything is a satirical program aimed at provoking debate and providing social commentary on topical issues, current affairs and public life in general
The sketch in last night’s show called ‘Making A Realistic Wish Foundation” was a satirical sketch and black comedy.
The ABC and The Chaser did not intend to hurt those who have been affected by the terminal illness of a child. We acknowledge the distress this segment has caused and we apologise to anyone we have upset.
As a result, ABC TV will edit the segment out of tonight’s repeat screening on ABC2 and on-line.

Is this good enough ? Have your say now

I believe that the Chaser team, and any future such programs should be thrown off air permantly

We watched our daughter die from cancer and to see what these idiots did as "so called comedy" is absolutely disgusting. Maybe they should go to a ward where these children are and watch how they battle each day. Will not watch the ABC anymore.

I am a great fan of the ABC, not this partcular program, it should have been taken off air years ago.
I will not watch ABC on a Wednesday evening until these idiots are sacked.

How can the powers that be ever compare the previous breakfast compares,Ross Davies & Peter Dick with the present poor excuse for entertainment eg,Jamie Dunn.A person who admits he has no religious beliefs,and yet uses"OH MY GOD "or"JESUS"nearly every morning.The quicker he is gone the better,in the meantime I,m afraid it,s A.B.C. for me.Thanking you L.B.Sade.

Hi Michael
No its not good enough by far, its offensive in the lowest form, The ABC, Broadcasting Control Board an the Feds should immediately wihdraw this program from the air and the Chaser's should be charged under the discrimination Act. If this had religous or ethnic overtures this would be going before the Courts
