Australian Television program "Four Corners" investigates Apple's broken promises

http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/stories/2015/03/02/4187424.htm

You can read about the story there. And here's when the show airs in Australia.
APPLE'S BROKEN PROMISES, reported by Richard Bilton and presented by Kerry O'Brien, goes to air on Monday 2nd March at 8.30pm on ABC. It is replayed on Tuesday 3rd March at 10.00am and Wednesday 4th March at midnight. It can also be seen on ABC News 24 on Saturday at 8.00pm and ABC iview.

The TLDR is basically this:
Four Corners didn't read this link:
http://www.apple.com/au/supplier-responsibility/
And the TV program believes that Apple should be responsible for workers from other people's companies (like Foxconn and others). Apple has zero responsibility there but even still Apple still tries really hard to improve these workers lives.

And the funny part is the article (and I assume the TV program when it airs today) will not go into the Apple retail conditions. These people are actually employed by Apple but I am sure will be forgotten.
