Statement on interview on 7:30 Report
David Skeat
Thursday, March 13th 2008
 In a recent broadcast made on the ABC news program the 7:30 Report comments were made by a Meg Lewis with regards to her opinion on overseas adoptions.
The 7:30 report introduced her as representing an organization called ARMS. Since that time our office has been contacted by concerned individuals regarding Ms Lewis´ views.
Ms Lewis is not associated with nor is she employed by Australian Relief & Mercy Services Ltd. Our research suggests that Ms Lewis may in fact represent a South Australian based organization called Association Representing Mothers Separated - which is nothing to do with Australian Relief and Mercy Services Ltd and her views do not necesasarily reflect the views of our organization.
Comments about this program should not be directed to Australian Relief & Mercy Services Ltd, but can be directed to the 7.30 Report direct via their website http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/contact.htm
We have contacted the 7:30 Report and asked them to make an on air correction at their earliest convenience
