Average Aussie to publish revolting ABC segment from 50 years ago

John Adams has been frustrated that the national broadcaster would not allow him to share the ‘abhorrent deeply harmful’ segment, which he obtained only for his private viewing.

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:

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.

Pro-pederasty past deserves an ABC apology

THE line in last Monday’s Four Corners program on ABC television, The Boy with the Henna Tattoo, was unequivocal. Reporter Caro Meldrum-Hanna condemned the practice once commonly called pederasty — homosexual relations between a male adult and a boy. The program dealt with the shocking case of two men, the Australian Peter Truong and the American

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):

It is such a hard job to be a radio host, you are allocated 23 minutes of time window every single d

......

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!
