Controversy
editIn 1994, the station courted controversy over its plans to air a documentary film, A Search for Truth in History.[3] The Executive Council of Australian Jewry expressed its "strongest possible objection to having your station serve as a vehicle for the broadcast of what appears to be neo-Nazi propaganda.”[3] The film, which featured Holocaust denier, David Irving was ultimately dropped by the station, saying that the film is "a denigration of the Holocaust" and that it would not air the film and risk the chance to "incite racial acrimony."[3]
