It seems to me like the issue here isn’t that these lawyers wrote letters, but whether the ABC folded to pressure instead of following their own policies, and whether information was leaked from the ABC.

I’d say there’s something wrong with these workers of our legal system, clandestinely meeting together to harass workers for holding political views and terrorising public institutions to confirm to their views.

They didn’t “harass workers”, did they? I think the ABC should also be able to withstand a letter-writing campaign and that “terrorising” is a bit of a stretch there.
Spurious threats of legal action might be of interest to professional bodies, though.

I’m inclined to agree. This is not front page news and arguably not even news.
Some Jewish people unhappy about ABC reporter taking what appears to be an anti Israel position writes a letter of complaint. The fact they are lawyers is neither here nor there.
If the situation was reversed and they were pro Palestinian complaining about what appears to be an anti Palestine point of view nobody would say boo.

I mean you’d be 100% wrong. I hate what they did but the right to organise hasn’t been taken away and well it should not, otherwise you’d be a potential criminal too.
Marsupial@quokk.au 5 months ago
I would not.
And frankly who said shit about ‘the right to organise being taken away’? You’re arguing against a point no one has made.
