United KingdomMining magnate Gina Rinehart has threatened legal action against the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) over a controversial sketch aired on the 'Race Around the World' program. The four-minute film, titled 'A Very Relaxing Video,' included offensive remarks by filmmaker Kate McGuinness, who made explicit and vulgar comments about Rinehart. Hancock Prospecting, Rinehart's company, claims it sent legal notices to ABC leadership demanding removal of the content, a public apology, and an investigation into its approval. While the ABC confirmed receiving the legal letters, it stated it would respond 'in due course.' The episode, rated M for coarse language and sexual references, remained available on iView. McGuinness later apologized, stating her intent was satire and not literal interpretation.
