My understanding is that Ms Lattouf didn't express any political views on air during her time at the ABC - but the problem now seems to be that she has political views at all #auspol #LattoufvsABC

Is there any news, without politics?
Once you discount the run of the mill mayhem, murder and chaos, which is really only of interest to the people involved or voyeuristic for people that watch.
A friend listened to Antoinette Lattouf on all 3 days. He told me 💯 she never made a single political comment. He was shocked when he tuned in on Day 4 & she was absent. It was obviously some lobbyist with powerful influence that had AL sacked.
exactly and that's a point worth making. everyone at the ABC, like everyone over 18 in Australia has a political view compulsory voting demands that even if it is not to vote. BUT if you are working at the ABC you are expected to put those views aside & fairly present issues to the audience
as for Pat and Fran you need to be careful. putting a view expressed by someone else to someone opposed to that view is merely allowing them to defend their position it doesn't mean the presenter is of the same view
whereas for me that's exactly what i did most days for 30 years......... FYI in that time i was approached by all the major parties to run as a candidate for them which suggests no one knew what my politics/bias was.
In her evidence, Ms Lattouf indicated that she had a security pass to the ABC building which was activated whenever she was engaged or was a guest on the ABC.
Indicates her views were already known by ABC management.
How wrong they were at that time, and how wrong they are now acting like what they did was right - and failing miserably. Reputations of the so called mighty destroyed in a few hours.
Now this - “The ABC does not put in issue, that is, does not dispute or contest that the Lebanese, Middle Eastern or Arab races exist,” said the ABC’s lead barrister, Ian Neil SC.
And yet by sacking her (arbitrarily on a whim out of fear without due process or natural justice, and contrary to ABC policy) management revealed how mired in political views and appeasement to a foreign power it is.

This is a shocking testimony by Buttrose.
There is questionable honesty and little consistency with other complaints made to the ABC.
Her performance is atrocious.

Now if you want to talk about:
Patricia Karvelas
Fran Kelly

But unconvincing for me
On the other hand unless of course you're part of the Jewish lobby group most others are
Thats it.
Why wasn’t calling Labor voters lobotomised shitheads and more on her social media expressing a political opinion.
Doesn’t quite equate to my understanding of activism but there you go.

Dread be had about that!
The freedom of Ibrahim reigns supreme!
Of course, Butt-rising’s views are conservative & reactionary, so not really political….😉 Just good old plain-speakin’ common sense eh?!
You know, like a Fox News cafe-owner.🤬

IT IS SIMPLY EMPATHY!!!
