Press Council clears The Australian of causing distress or prejudice in Medicare fraud story
A feature article investigating fake Medicare claims which made reference to a Vietnamese refugee and his conviction for fraud, has been cleared by The Australian Press Council.
The Australian’s print article ‘Sick system open to abuse: Fake Medicare claims have led to payouts worth millions’ and ‘Medicare: Sick system open to abuse’ online, explored the cracks and flaws in Medicare which allowed for fraudulent claims to be made.
