Ever searched your name and found an ABC News article that doesn’t tell the full story—or worse, paints you in a completely false light?
You’re not alone.
And no, you’re not overreacting.
Whether you’re a business owner in Sydney, a public servant in Canberra, a tradie in Adelaide, or a private citizen in Melbourne — having your name appear in an ABC News article can wreak havoc on your life and livelihood.
But here’s the thing:
🧨 You can do something about it.
⚙️ And you don’t have to do it alone.
🤔 Why Is ABC News So Hard to Shake from Google?
ABC News is government-funded, widely read, and ranks like crazy on Google.
So when it posts something that even mentions your name — even without context, even just once — that page:
- Gets indexed fast
- Stays at the top of your name search
- Is near-impossible to outrank organically
Google treats ABC News like gold. So even if the story is:
- 🚫 Misleading
- 📅 Years old
- 😡 Completely one-sided
…it still sits there like an ugly billboard on the digital highway.
💔 Real Talk: What These Articles Actually Do to People
You’re not being dramatic. These stories have serious consequences.
We’ve helped clients who experienced:
- 🛑 Lost job opportunities within days of an article going live
- 💔 Strained family relationships due to misinformation
- 😓 Mental health challenges from ongoing online harassment
- 📉 Decline in business revenue from trust erosion
- 🤬 Total misrepresentation of their character or business
And just because ABC is a national broadcaster doesn’t mean it’s immune from errors, unfair reporting, or reputational damage.
🛠️ FAQs: Can You Remove an ABC News Australia Article?
Q1: Can I contact ABC News to remove the article?
You can try—but unless it’s legally defamatory or factually incorrect, they probably won’t respond or act on it. Editorial teams tend to stand by their content.
Q2: Can I get Google to take it down?
Not directly—unless it breaks specific policies. But there are advanced techniques to de-index the page from Google.com.au, so it no longer shows up in your name search.
Q3: Can I push it down with other content?
Yes. In fact, this is one of the most effective long-term strategies. It involves publishing high-quality, SEO-optimised content that gradually outranks the article.
