This is a really important victory and shows how the struggle to free Palestine is also one of workers rights. Organisations that attempt to silence their staff are all now on notice. Congratulations to @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social @joshbornstein.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/media/2025/j...

I would love to see them give the Nobel Peace Prize to President Zelenskyy, if for no other reason to see trump turn purple with envy. I'm sure I would pass out laughing.

good question Ali, in my humble opinion 70k is not a lot of money when one takes into account the amount of time that has passed (18 months), the trauma endured, the 'potential damage' to her career.... Antoinette deserves so much more compensation

Today's ruling is a win for Antoinette Lattouf, for journalistic integrity and freedom of speech. No one should be punished for speaking out about Gaza.

OK, so in short: a pre-emptive kneejerk response to the lobby group bullying (of a staff member, for sharing a news item) that the ABC anticipated but that had not even happened yet has cost Australian taxpayers more than a million dollars, and counting. Well done everyone. 🙄

Two aspects to this. Antoinette Lattouf, congratulations, courage, decency, a journalist. Ita Buttrose. Morrison’s captain’s pick. What else did she get away with? How did she influence our ABC News, for years? Her term as chair should be investigated. #OurABC #Buttrosed #AusPol

Under the NATO treaty if one member is attacked, all other members will consider it an attack against themselves and assist. Trump won’t commit to the spirit of that unambiguous pledge. What does that mean for our own reliance on the ANZUS treaty? #auspol

Please for the love of god, stop sharing mainstream media. Stop watching it. Stop listening to it. Stop reading it. They’re NOT journalists. They’re propagandists, propping up a traitorous criminal to make money on the chaos and get tax breaks from the criminals they lie for. Go read 1984.
