Abstract
The 2011 Australian government decision to ban live cattle exports to Indonesia
is the main focus of this chapter. The ban was based on the footage of animal mistreatment in Indonesian abattoirs, which aired on the Australian national television channel, ABC, on its “Four Corners” program. Subsequently, the footage was uploaded to the Four Corners website and so watched by viewers on the website, on Youtube, on Facebook, and on other social media platforms. Using the ban as a case study, this chapter examines the impact of “social television” on law and religion, in both Australia and Indonesia. It argues that social television can change perceptions by provoking reactions, but that effect will be only temporary when the root of the problems cannot be easily fixed.
