She won though. Therefore the money, having been spent, was not wasted was it.

Well, no. The money that got spent on lawyers and court fees was definitely wasted. The ABC could have issued an apology and made a reasonable offer of settlement without the huge bill to the taxpayer.
Or, you know…just not fired her in the first place. But that would have required not kowtowing to the Israel lobby…

I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.
The ABC ran a bad case. It was bad from a legal standpoint. They lost it, and from the looks of it the judge didn’t have to think very hard to weigh up which way it would go.
It was bad from a moral standpoint. Even if they had been legally allowed to do it, it was obvious from the beginning that they were bowing to terrorists (namely: the pro-Israel lobby) by ousting an anti-genocide journalist.
In what world is it not a waste to spend resources on a case that is both legally and morally dubiously?
