The ABC sacked our colleague because of her political opinion and to appease a lobby group, the court found. And they spent more than $1 million on ridiculous defences including the she was never sacked and there is no such thing as a Lebanese race. Time for the ABC to rethink how it treats staff.

Why is it if a parent witholds food or medical care and their child dies, they're charged with murder, but if the government does it a thousand times over it's just policy? if you say it's not the government's job to care for its citizens, you have a fundamental misunderstanding of its purpose.
