An accompanying news story by Alberici – which said Qantas hadn’t paid corporate tax for close to 10 years – has been rewritten and reposted.
“Qantas CEO Alan Joyce, one of the most prominent supporters of the Turnbull government’s proposed big business tax cut, presides over a company that hasn’t paid corporate tax for close to 10 years,” the news report said.
The Coalition is arguing that by reducing business tax the Australian economy will attract more investment and create more jobs.
In her analysis Alberici had argued that there was no case for a corporate tax cut when one in five companies did not pay tax.
Guardian Australia understands ABC News management has been in crisis meetings for two days after the prime minister attacked the articles in question time and then wrote formal letters of complaint to management.
The ABC said the Alberici analysis piece had been removed because it did not meet editorial standards and further information and context had been added to the news story.
