Last year on Anzac Day, ABC presenter, Yassmin Abdiel Magied, tweeted,
‘Lest we forget (Manus. Nauru. Syria. Palestine.)’
Her tweet unleashed a torrent of outrage and vitriol.
One TV host said, ‘Lest we forget Yassmin you are brown, you are Muslim, and you are a girl, and that’s the only reason you have a job at the ABC.’ He then called her an’ idiot’ and a bitch.’
Yassmin took down her post and apologized.
