In an unusual move, the international arm of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), Australia Plus, has run two reports about work practices in Cambodia. (Australia, New Zealand and Canada rarely run news stories about Cambodia unless directly related to their citizens or policy. Even weather reports on the ABC and BBC deliberately ignore mentioning Cambodia unless relevant.)
Whilst not an AU government directive per se, I am curious to know if any K440-iers have insights into this change.

I believe indolence is the term that has historically described the work ethic of the khmer. Makes you wonder indeed who built those temples.

The (Khmer) people that I've spoken with about this are convinced that their ancestors used to be 7 meters or taller. I try to be polite and end the conversation as soon as it's mentioned.Canucklhead wrote:Makes you wonder indeed who built those temples.

My interest is in the apparent change in media reportage policy, not Khmer bashing.
• Does anyone have any insight into any change in media policy by countries that formerly eschewed reporting on conditions in Cambodia?

I am totally bewildered by the OP. Having watched Australia Network/Plus daily for nearly 20 years, it is my view that Cambodia has always enjoyed very significant coverage, probably disproportionate to the country's importance in regional and world affairs. As a sidenote, they give weather forecasts of Phnom Penh on a virtual hourly basis, as part of their Asia-Pacific coverage.
Geraldine Cox has been profiled twice and an extract was shown many times a day as a filler. The 20013 elections and their aftermath received massive airtime and issues such as orphanage tourism, the refugee deal, Sokha, Rainsy and the killing of Kem Ley have been heavily featured.
My objection is to the massive anti-government bias of most of these reports. Though I am not a CPP supporter, I find most ABC reports misinformed and inaccurate. They accept the views of biased human rights NGOs as gospel and make no attempt to verify or balance the claims. Their current Cambodian "expert" is Khmer state MP Hong Lim.Lim's latest claim is that 2 million people attended Kem Ley's funeral. He has previously claimed that Sokha and Rainsy were given sanctuary in the US Embassy in 2013 after assassination attempts by the CPP. That's news to me.

Totally agree with you Gilmore! ABC give reasonable coverage of Cambodian affairs - if you do a search of the ABC online website - close to 5000 articles. Agree with the Hong Lim slant as well - although he is a state MP, not federal, so not so much pull on the national broadcaster. He is more often on Radio Free Asia. Alot of the disproportionate information usually comes from the Cambodia-Australia Federation, which hates the CPP - they organised recent demonstrations agains Hun Manets visit a couple of months ago....
SBS also gives reasonable coverage - SBS radio has Khmer news and affairs on frequently, albeit generally anti CPP.
