Australian News Channel Criticized for Altered Image of State MP Georgie Purcell
An Australian news channel faced criticism for altering an image of a female state MP, Georgie Purcell, enlarging her breasts and exposing her midriff. The photo was aired on Nine News following Purcell’s criticism of the Victorian government’s rejection of a duck hunting ban. Purcell shared the original and altered images on social media, highlighting the edits made to her outfit.
Nine News apologized, attributing the issue to “automation by Photoshop.” Purcell, the youngest woman in the state’s parliament, has been vocal about the “constant sexualization and objectification” faced by women in Australian politics. In an interview with the BBC, she expressed how seeing the image had compounded what was already her worst day since being elected in 2022.
“It’s certainly confronting seeing your body altered on your TV in your own home,” she said.
“What has happened to me in the past 24 hours is just something that would never, ever happen to a male politician.”
Other politicians and members of the public have also been outraged.
