9News Melbourne apologises for altering photo of MP Georgie Purcell
On 29 January 2024, 9News Melbourne broadcast an altered photo of Victorian MP Georgie Purcell, which made her dress more revealing and enlarged her breasts.

Purcell reported receiving sexist abuse online as a result and criticised the incident as something that would not happen to a male MP.
