ABC Pulls Fazal Episodes Over Anonymous Sources | Australia News

The ABC is pulling more episodes featuring fired reporter Mahmood Fazal amid an ongoing probe into his past work, including shows “Silent Orders” and “Meet the Teens at the Frontline of Organised Crime.” Fazal was let go in May after an internal review found his podcast appearance with a criminal underworld figure violated anonymous source guidelines — though not deemed to breach editorial standards. The network is removing these episodes to uphold public trust, sometimes excising Fazal’s segments while keeping the rest online with explanations. This isn’t the first time his content has been scrubbed — four episodes have been taken down since May over accuracy concerns. Fazal, an award-winning journalist and former bikie club member, has defended his crime reporting and expressed frustration on social media, feeling unfairly targeted and accused of betraying the ABC.
