ABC News has apologised for incorrect footage in a report earlier this month, its second error this month.
On 9 November ABC News 7pm broadcast a story about a High Court ruling set to end indefinite detention for some asylum seekers.
“Due to a production error, incorrect footage was inadvertently included of a high school rather than a detention centre. ABC News apologises for the error,” said ABC.
Last week ABC apologised for incorrectly using footage of a hospital incident in Egypt from ten years ago, in a story about Israeli military operations at al Shifa hospital in Gaza.

Around June 2022 there was an outcry when the ABC made significant changers to ABC Archives which supplied programmes with archival footage.

Are these 2 instances part of the flow-on effect?
