The journalists union has released a strong statement of support for in her battle to defend free speech against legal and media attacks from the Zionist Federation.
Well done to the union for making such a strong unequivocal stand against attempts to censor media reporting and commentary on the acknowledged Israeli genocide in Gaza.
“The Media Entertainment Arts Alliance has long fought for media freedoms, rebuking censorship and calling for access to information.
“Since October 7, MEAA has seen a rise in threats, harassment, and intimidation of journalists who report and comment on Gaza.
“High-profile journalists including Antoinette Lattouf, Peter Lalor and Mary Kostakidis have found themselves dismissed, censored and harassed by powerful lobby groups, who seek to undermine press freedom.
“When reporting, MEAA journalists are subject to the code of ethics, who in their professional capacity, often provide critical commentary on political warfare. These are the tenets of democracy.
“Our colleagues across the entertainment and arts sectors are also facing censorship on Australian stages and screens.
“We stand with our colleagues in their workplaces, in the courtrooms, and in their deaths to raise our voices against the silence.”
