The ABC's managing director, David Anderson, has met with union members who voted no confidence in him after they claimed management had not defended journalists from external attacks.

Criticism of the ABC's management intensified after an unlawful termination claim was lodged by fill-in presenter Antoinette Lattouf against the broadcaster. The case is currently before the Fair Work commission, but the broader issues are still playing out at the national broadcaster.

ABC Managing Director, David Anderson says he doesn’t believe public trust in the ABC has been damaged as a result of the Fair Work case. He says it's "important to listen to staff" and feedback and scrutiny are important, but he doesn't believe there is "bias" across ABC's reporting, including around its Israel-Gaza war coverage.
