“In the article ‘Coles workers to wear body cameras to combat abuse and stock losses’ Lia Walsh & Sammy J seem to have made unsubstantiated statements about theft, e.g. 
“Theft is costing Australian grocery giants hundreds of millions of dollars annually”

Is the ABC uncritically supporting supermarkets’ narrative that theft & abuse have increased? I expect evidence & balanced reporting from ABC journalists.”

 @823dfd83 I guess the employees will turn the body cams off when they are stealing inventory and the store doesn't want recordings of employees working at unpaid times.
