Controversies

John Brogden allegations

The Telegraph was widely criticised for its coverage of former New South Wales Liberal leader John Brogden. After Brogden resigned in 2005, the newspaper ran a front-page headline, "Brogden's Sordid Past: Disgraced Liberal leader damned by secret shame file," detailing past allegations of misconduct by Brogden. The following day, Brogden attempted suicide at his electoral office. This article concerns the modern Australian political party. ... John Gilbert Brogden (born 28 March 1969) is a former Australian politician. ...


Rodney Tiffen, an academic at the University of Sydney, described the newspaper's coverage as an example of "hyena journalism", judging Brogden's personal life to be off limits following his withdrawal from public life.[2] The University of Sydney, established in Sydney in 1850, is the oldest university in Australia. ...


Editor David Penberthy claimed that his source was from inside the Liberal Party and that none of the events would have happened if no one leaked from inside the party.

Mount Druitt High School

On 8 January 1997, the Telegraph published the headline, "The class we failed" concerning was the Year 12 class at Mount Druitt High School in outer Western Sydney in which no student scored a Tertiary Entrance Rank above 50 (the top mark is 100). Although the article made clear that the newspaper believed that the state had failed the students, many accused the Telegraph of branding the students themselves as failures and showing a full year photo identifying students. Mount Druitt is a suburb in the City of Blacktown, in Western Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. ... Western Sydney is a very general, informal, term which is used to describe the western parts of the metropolitan area of Sydney, Australia. ...


The story led to a renewed focus on the quality of public schools in Western Sydney. and precipitated several reviews of schooling in the area. [4] But for many, the headline highlighted problems with interpreting Higher School Certificate results and the accompanying TER.

This article is about the New South Wales Higher School Certificate. ...


The students successfully sued the newspaper in the Supreme Court for defamation. The Telegraph subsequently apologised and settled for damages out of court. [6] The published apology stated:

In that story The Daily Telegraph suggested, among other things, that the students in the class of 1996 failed their HSC. This is wrong and The Daily Telegraph withdraws any such suggestion. The Daily Telegraph also withdraws any suggestion that those students acted without discipline or commitment in their HSC studies. "he students in the HSC class of 1996 successfully completed their HSC and contrary to the suggestions in the original article many of those students performed very well scoring high marks in the HSC.The Daily Telegraph apologises to each student in the class of 1996 at Mt Druitt. It also apologises to their parents and friends for all the hurt, harm and suffering it has caused them. [7]

Later, criticising defamation laws, News Limited CEO John Hartigan said that This article concerns the fictional character John Hartigan in a series of graphic novels. ...

"The words in the story pointed to deep-seated problems within the education system, but a barrister convinced the jury that, regardless of the words before him, what we really meant to say was that the entire class was too stupid to pass the HSC."[8]

Call Centres in India

In October 2006, the Telegraph claimed in a front page article that ANZ were using call centres in Bangalore, India. The paper even sent a journalist to Bangalore, Luke McIlveen, and a photographer to verify this claim [9]. ANZ strongly denied the claim, stating that they do not employ overseas call centre staff in India. [10] Subsequently, ANZ "pulled all of its advertising from News Limited, including Foxtel and News websites. Our advertising with News Limited is worth $4 to 5 million and accounts for about 10 per cent of ANZ's advertising budget" [11] The ANZ Bank (Australia And New Zealand Banking Group Limited) is one of the largest Australia. ... , Bangalore (Bengalūru) (Kannada: ; pronunciation: in Kannada and in English) is the capital of the state of Karnataka in [[India].

Plagiarism

Former Telegraph journalist, Matt Sun, was caught out for significant and ongoing plagiarism by the TV program Media Watch. [13] [14] Editor at the time, Campbell Reid, refused to acknowledge the accusations of plagiarism, instead choosing to attack Media Watch. [15] Subsequently, Sun was sent to London to work for the tabloid newpaper The Sun [16]. Sun now writes for the free afternoon tabloid Mx in Sydney. This is seen as a demotion as he has been unable to gain employment back at a major newspaper.
