As Nick says, the ABC MD's response to the #AntoinetteLattouf case shows management has learned nothing.
An independent ABC would commission #4Corners or #BackgroundBriefing to do an in-depth expose on the toxic role of the Israel lobby in Australian institutions.

Artists and journalists have paid the price for having a political opinion. Nothing more – and sometimes barely even that. Lattouf, Sabsabi, Wyld, Sakr etc are only the most public cases; we’ll never know about those who were silenced, quietly excluded or denied opportunities in the first place.
New:
It’s absurd and embarrassing in a liberal democracy to have to say this, but people shouldn’t be punished for protesting against genocidal oppression, or speaking about it.
So many cultural institutions have done this very thing though - and damaged themselves in the process.
