Miriki Performing Arts has gracefully accepted an apology from News Corp outlets for publishing pictures of their young performers next to a story about child sexual abuse – but questioned why the apology was issued at taking-out-the-trash o’clock on Friday 7 June.
A Sky News article on the sexual abuse of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children which appeared on the Australian and the Daily Telegraph websites carried pictures of kids from Miriki at the Cairns children’s festival, in body paint art designed by David Mundraby.
