Regardless of the outcome of these court proceedings the damage to the organisational reputation to the ABC is likely insurmountable to be ever be considered a safe & reliable place to work.
We need an Australian Media RC.
Are the lawyers seriously saying that she has to prove there is such a thing as Lebanese and Middle East race? What am I missing here?
I feel like @australianlabor.bsky.social sat back & watched it all happen, at times unable to do anything & other times contributing to the downfall.

It’s a priority to them, defund, discredit, remove.
I'm pretty sure wog is a race, read it somewhere.
Is ABC'S counsel being pedantic re the technicality of Race vs Ethnicity?
Although
'The Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (RDA) makes it unlawful to discriminate against a person because of his or her race, colour, descent, national origin or ethnic origin, or immigrant status.'

This may be the single best line @crikey.com.au has ever published.
