The video calls an Isis-inspired attack that left 15 dead a ‘false flag operation’, an Australian inquiry heard
Lord was questioned about a complaint made by survivor Arsen Ostrovsky about a video posted on YouTube. Ostrovsky was attacked online after an image showing blood streaming from a wound in his head was posted on social media two hours after he was shot.
Lord said the decision to allow the video to remain on YouTube had been reviewed at “quite senior levels”.
“We have spent a lot of time thinking about where we draw the line and we continue to re-evaluate where we are doing that,” Lord said.
Richard Lancaster, the lawyer leading the inquiry’s evidence, referred to a transcript of the video to avoid showing the images in public.
