Journalist and presenter Antoinette Lattouf was sacked by the ABC after filling a casual presenting role last year, the Fair Work Commission has found in her unfair dismissal case. Lattouf was taken off air from a casual presenting role on ABC Radio Sydney in December last year, three days into a five-day spot at the public broadcaster. It came after she shared a post from Human Rights Watch claiming Israel was using starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza.
Lattouf had alleged that she was told by her manager in a December meeting she was being let go because of the HRW social media post and it was a breach of the social media policy. She asked if she was able to post if another “journalist gets killed or a reputable NGO like Amnesty International has information" and "just quote an agency” and alleges she was told "yes that’s fine".
