    Again? So what ? They are a lawyer and therefore can’t write a letter of complaint? They are entitled to do so and it’s not illegal to threaten potential legal action. If the court thinks it’s bullshit they’ll throw it out of it gets that far.

    And again I make the point if it was pro Palestine lawyers complaining about a perceived anti Palestine commentary on the ABC nobody in the media would say boo.

    It’s a beat-up over nothing and it’s not news. ABC management and their entire legal department are big boys and girls and they can handle tersely worded letters .

    Now if the ABC caved to pressure and sacked the employee unfairly without due process because of these letters that would be different. But there’s no evidence presented that this is happen. Until then the media can shut the fuck up.
