Sent to ABC News:

“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.”
