Comment on SBS staff sworn off naming Palestine despite federal recognition

By contrast, three days after the Albanese government’s recognition of Palestine, the ABC updated its own policies permitting ABC reporting use Palestine when referring to its geography, history, community and the intended state encompassing the Occupied Palestinian Territories, editorial director Gavin Fang said in an email reported by this masthead last week.
Is that in contrast? The ABC’s guidelines sound quite similar.

Based only on my reading of this article, the ABC would permit calling the place “Palestine”, for example saying “Gaza is part of Palestine” (geography) or that a person being interviewed/talked about is “from Palestine” (community). SBS would not.
