"TV Network Under Fire for Sexist Image Editing of Female Lawmaker"

An Australian TV news channel, 9News Melbourne, faced backlash for editing a photo of lawmaker Georgie Purcell, making her outfit more revealing and enlarging her chest. The channel apologized for the "graphic error," but Purcell criticized the incident, stating that it made her a target for sexist abuse online. She emphasized that such mistakes would not happen to male colleagues and called for learning from the incident to prevent deterring women and girls from achieving their dreams.
