That just cost us over $1 million in tax money. That’s our money wasted on lawyers.

Could have saved a lot of money had they just admitted it was a political firing, and simply rehired her, pro-palestine views and all.

That’s our money well spent fighting against injustice and the corrupt interference in our country by Zionist extremists.

Uhh, no? Lattouf spent money fighting zionists. The ABC, and hence the Australian tax payer, was spending money defending zionism.

And hopefully encourage the ABC to not do shit like that again.
