The messages also reveal a member of the group Lawyers for Israel calling Lattouf’s lawyer Josh Bornstein, who is Jewish, a “traiter”.

It seems to me like the issue here isn’t that these lawyers wrote letters, but whether the ABC folded to pressure instead of following their own policies, and whether information was leaked from the ABC.
I’d say there’s something wrong with these workers of our legal system, clandestinely meeting together to harass workers for holding political views and terrorising public institutions to conform to their views.
They didn’t “harass workers”, did they? I think the ABC should also be able to withstand a letter-writing campaign and that “terrorising” is a bit of a stretch there.
Spurious threats of legal action might be of interest to professional bodies, though.
