The ABC sacked our colleague because of her political opinion and to appease a lobby group, the court found. And they spent more than $1 million on ridiculous defences including the she was never sacked and there is no such thing as a Lebanese race. Time for the ABC to rethink how it treats staff.

The ABC (my employer) needs to stop defending this case against Lattouf and settle - including an apology and reinstatement. They should not have taken her off air in such a manner. Her colleagues stand with her.

Whether prima facie corruption is involved should be investigated.
•public coffers buffer racist lobbyists & their puppet journalism
• ALP/Lib ministers/politicians bend the knee to said racist lobbyists &
• any blame can be laid upon juniors in the managerial order,
the same racist lobbyists won't have to hear #TheirABC announce genocide in Palestine.
🤷🏾👀
After that it was clear exactly why they suddenly found fault..
🤷🏾🤦🏾🤪

'At issue was whether (she) had been given a direction by her manager, Elizabeth Green, not to post on social media or just a suggestion to keep a low profile.'

“In summary, Ms Green made it explicitly clear she had not given any direction to Ms Lattouf and had merely provided advice.”
That they can post about starvation but she can't has to make you wonder why she lost the racism point of the case.
I'd thought I heard she'd quoted a tweet but added her own comment.
But that was the Qld government making an excuse to cancel the state literary awards and in truth they probably didn't need a reason. Campbell Newman cancelled the literary awards during his reign of destruction.
But I would also like to know why Kim Williams intervened directly on behalf of Sandy Gutman aka Austen Tayshus?
On multiple occasions
At whose behest? And why he got away with it????
Congratulations @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social
