The Recording the ABC tried to stop from being published
This was aired on the Lateline Radio Program of Australia's public broadcaster in 1975
This recording (which is audio-only as it was a RADIO broadcast) can also be accessed through the Twitter profile of John Adams and in this post on the Substack of :
You can also download your own copy of the recording from the Internet Archive.
This recording, as disturbing as it is, is ABSOLUTELY “In the Interest Of The People” (and not just the Australian people!) not just because of its highly disturbing content but also because of this:
Here is what John Ruddick, a member of the NSW State Parliament had to say following the publication of the recording and especially the threats by the ABC to sue Mr. Adams for publishing it:
To that I say: Hear Hear!!
John’s efforts to bring this recording to light
No one better than John Adams and his colleague Martin North to go through this themselves.
Here are the videos they published on their IOTP YouTube Channel in which they outline the full story and the saga that has unfolded since John first came across the existence of this recoding.
Please watch the videos in the order they are provided below:
Addendum: October 21, 2025
A new video was published on the IOTP YouTube channel in which John Adams and Martin North discuss the aftermath of the release of the ABC Paedophile tape:
One of the significant revelations in the above video is the content of the email that was sent to both Mr. Adams and Mr. North by the ABC’s legal representatives and the very odd timing of this email: a mere two minutes before the video with the recording from 1975 was scheduled to be published.
Here is the content of that email:
Another significant (and quite explosive!) revelations was published by John Adams on his Twitter profile:
Looks like the biggest revelations in this story are YET TO COME!
The historical context
This article is a good place to start to delve into the history of this dark secret, Australia’s public (read: taxpayer-funded) broadcaster the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) tried very very hard to keep buried.
Despite repeated calls for the ABC over the years to issue a formal apology for allowing such material to go to air on one of its (taxpayer-funded) broadcasts, such apology was never given.
The ABC have also repeatedly refused to admit over recent years that they even have the recording of that broadcast in their archives and only corrected the record late last month (September 2025):
My personal take on this
Given all of the above as well as (and equally important!) how the ABC and its chairman personally, conducted themselves during the ‘pandemic’, this MUST be the END of Australia’s public broadcaster!
There is NO COMING BACK FROM THIS for them given their utterly DESPICABLE behaviour since the existence of this recording was revealed.
Furthermore, the position of Australia’s current Federal Communication Minister Anika Wells, is completely untenable given she has FAILED to exercise her powers under the ABC Act of 1983 and FORCE the public broadcaster to make the recording available to the general public, despite repeated requests to do so, including from at least one federal MP.
She MUST resign forthwith or be sacked if she fails to do so!
As disturbing as the content of this podcast episode and associated show notes is, it is also of significant public interest. Please share!
