ABC News director Justin Stevens says comments made by political journalist Laura Tingle at Sydney Writers' Festival did not meet the organisation's editorial standards.
I don’t know why they sacked Andrew Probyn and kept Tingle, all she’s trying to do is prop up culture war politics in Australia, something we definitely don’t need and certainly shouldn’t have from the ABC.
Culture wars get the Coalition in power, culture wars killed the Voice to Parliament. Culture wars mean Labor won’t do anything because it might involve them and it means we get bullshit policy from the Coalition

I expected more analysis from her in her printed statement justifying her comment.
She didn’t even try to debunk the notion that reducing migration would ease housing pressure.
