ABC to pay $70k for firing fill-in host over Gaza post
An ordinary ABC radio server will be damaged by the national publisher for the illegal dismissal after being removed from the air on a mission on a conflict in Gaza.
Antoinette Lattouf was hired before a week of ABC Radio Sydney’s morning program before Christmas 2023.
After sharing the task of watching Israel’s hunger as a “war weapon kullanıl in Gaza, it was left after sharing the task of monitoring.
The 41 -year -old took the illegal termination case to the Federal Court, and Justice Darryl Rangih handed his decision in a courtroom full of supporters on Wednesday.
The judge ordered ABC to pay 70,000 dollars of compensation to Lattouf.
A potential financial penalty will be determined at a later hearing.
He did not order any penalties against the national publisher as he called by the journalist.
During a hearing in February, during the ongoing conflict with Israel, he claimed that he was fired from work because of his race and political view, after commented on the public about the situation of the Palestinians.
Justice Rangah heard Lattouf left a campaign by a pro -Israel group for 48 hours, and then sent a complaint to ABC executives, including Ita Buttrose Chima.
Although the public publisher claimed to be an impartial news source, Partisan was accused of getting an opinion.
But ABC rejected it.
The publisher claimed that he had taken Lattouf from the air because he could not follow the direction not to publish about the war in Israel or Gaza in his five -day shift.
He rejected this, directly admitted that he could publish facts from respectable sources.
In addition to MS Buttrose, he targeted Chris Oliver-Taylor and former General Manager David Anderson, the former ABC’s former ABC’s content chief, as responsible for the illegal termination.
He accused the publisher for being dismissed after he was removed before he returned home on the day of an article in Australia.
The ABC executives accused Stevehehe, the President of Capital City Networks, for putting the history of Lattouf before he hired him, putting the organization in an unacceptable position.
