Reported at independentaustralia.net: Antoinette Lattouf and Peter Lalor were dismissed from their media positions following complaints linked to their support for Palestine and criticism of Israel, raising concerns about media censorship and the influence of lobby groups.

Lattouf’s dismissal was contested in court, where it was argued that external pressures compromised the independence of the ABC and the employees’ rights to free expression.

The situation highlights broader issues regarding freedom of speech within cultural institutions, including the treatment of artists and journalists in response to public complaints.
