Before we get under way, the ABC’s barrister Ian Neil, SC, clarifies a point made by Lattouf’s barrister Oshie Fagir on Monday, that the ABC rejects Lattouf’s claim of racial discrimination, because she has not proven being Lebanese, Middle Eastern or Arab is a race.

“The ABC does not deny the existence of any race. I repeat that the ABC does not deny the existence of any race,” Neil says.

“The point being made there is, that this is an issue in respect of which the applicant has an onus, and that she has not equipped the court with any evidence upon which to resolve that issue, please.”

“There is no evidence consistent with the hypothesis that race or national extraction had anything to do with any matter under consideration in these proceedings,” Neil concludes, before Anderson is called to the stand.
