Lattouf's lawyer asks the ABC Managing Director David Anderson "are you aware of any breaches of ABC impartiality in connection with this action". Anderson says no.

Lawyer then puts up an ABC headline saying "Israel-Gaza war: Human Rights Watch says starvation is being used as a 'weapon of war' by the Israeli government". And "VIDEO: Human Rights Watch accuses Israel of weaponising starvation in Gaza"

They fired Lattouf for alleged partiality over her social media posts re-sharing HRW reports about Gaza. It's hard to claim breaches of impartiality for resharing the same thing the ABC is reporting on.
