Unlawful termination hearing is examining how and why ABC removed journalist from the Radio Sydney Mornings show in December 2023
The events that brought Lattouf and ABC to this point
Antoinette Lattouf, a 41-year-old freelance journalist, lost her job in December 2023 after she shared a Human Rights Watch post about the Israel-Gaza war while employed in a casual role for ABC Radio.
The issue for me was not whether Ms Lattouf was pro-Palestinian or pro-Israeli. Rather, the issue was that Ms Lattouf appeared to be an activist in relation to the Israel-Gaza conflict, which was a serious and contentious matter of concern in the community, regardless of which side of that conflict she was an activist for. I do not support the hiring of activists of any cause to the ABC.
