The Nine television network, one of the most important in Australia, apologized this Tuesday for broadcasting manipulated images of MP Georgie Purcell. The doctored photo was broadcast in a news segment on Monday night, after Purcell criticized the Victorian Government's rejection of a measure proposing a ban on duck hunting in the region.
The deputy published the original and modified images on her social networks and criticized how her outfit and body had been edited. "That is no way to represent any woman, much less a woman who holds public office," she said.
