People have slammed SBS’s decision to sack a reporter for criticising Anzac Day on Twitter.
Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull has admitted he contacted SBS Managing Director Michael Ebeid over "offensive" tweets sent by an SBS reporter.

"The tweets by Mr McIntyre were made on his Twitter account which clearly identified him as an SBS reporter and which he used as part of his work at SBS to report on football," he said.
"The comments were so offensive that they deserved the widespread condemnation that they received."
