The ABC are taking some poorly thought and knee-jerk decisions lately. They instead should take a State-like approach to their decision making.

I mean, management need to treat their tenure as a small period in an organisation that continues forever. A perspective change, hopefully leading to better deliberative decisions.

No need to rush when you have eternity to play with.

Tl:dr

An xmas hols fill in, made some unrelated post referencing the atrocities happening against palestinians.

2.Whatsapp (i think) group in Aus decided to launch a targetted campaign to remove lettouf from broadcasting.

Other people from the same group took screenshots and went public
ABC management screwed up, and probably deserve all the punishment they get for having such a wrong headed and knee-jerk response.
