Federal court proceedings brought by the Zionist Federation of Australia (ZFA) against veteran journalist and former SBS newsreader Mary Kostakidis have been dismissed "by consent" with no order as to costs. The ZFA had accused Kostakidis of breaching Australia's Racial Discrimination Act by sharing posts on X in January 2024 featuring a speech by late Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, alongside commentary describing Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide. Kostakidis called the outcome "a win for press freedom," while ZFA chief executive Alon Cassuto said his objectives had been "substantially satisfied" following a public apology she made in 2025, adding he saw no value in continuing to give her views "a federal court platform."
