ABC presenter in hot water over ANZAC day post
ABC presenter Yassmin Abdel-Magied caused controversy yesterday with a Facebook post suggesting Australians should also remember those suffering on Manus Island, Nauru, in Syria and Palestine.
Ms Abdel-Magied wrote on her Facebook page "LEST. WE. FORGET. (Manus, Nauru, Syria, Palestine …)".
Ms Abdel-Magied received more than 2000 comments on the post, largely negative. Ms Abdel-Magied later edited the post to say 'Lest we forget.' and issued an apology.
"It was brought to my attention that my last post was disrespectful, and for that, I apologise unreservedly," she wrote.
The apology caused further reaction with many asking how Abdel-Magied wasn't able to work out for herself that the post was disrespectful.
What do you think? Was her post disrespectful?
