Judge decides unlawful termination case
ABC, Lattouf’un remained dismissed. He said that his employment ended five days later as planned, but the last two shows did not need to host. Lattouf was paid for five days in January 2024.
Fair Business Commission Decided after a preliminary legal conflict last year ABC ended Lattouf’s employment. However, Rangah was not committed to this decision, and it was a very important issue in the case to determine whether Lattouf was dismissed.
Most of the complaints received by ABC referred to an article written by Lattouf together. CriraseOn October 9, 2023, he said that the widespread images, claiming that he showed pro -Palestinian protesters except the opera house, saw the anti -Semitic expression as “Gas”.
NSW Police Tell later From the protest, the judicial analysis of video and sound concluded that it was “where the Jews” was. There was evidence that other attacks, including “F — Jews ,, were mentioned.
The Opera House protest arrived just a few days after the 7 October attacks on Israel by Hamas militants who killed at least 1200 people.
The Lattouf case raised the cover on the upper levels of ABC while the complaints were rolling.
On Tuesday, December 19, 2023, at 8.39, ITA Buttrose, the ABC’s chair at that time, sent an e-mail to the director David Anderson at that time: “I replaced Antoinette. I am e-mail about him.”
Lattouf was removed from the air the next day, but buttrose told the court with the sudden output of the air waves.
Im I didn’t want him to be removed. I didn’t put pressure on anyone, B Buttrose said.
Another important issue of the case was that Lattouf did not publish it on social media about the war on the radio for a week on the radio and violated it. Lattouf objected to a direction in these terms.
Rangah concluded that Lattouf was “only advised ,, but in order not to publish on social media about war during his contract on the radio rather than not to do so.
He also found that Lattouf had not been given the opportunity to defend himself against the allegations before his dismissal.

During his three days of publication, Lattouf shared a task criticizing Israel from the Human Rights Monitoring Organization of the Human Rights Organization and added the title “HRW declares hunger as a means of war”. Rangah described his task as ılmış poorly recommended and thoughtless of his employer ”.
Complaints about Lattouf began after his first shift before his post of Human Rights Monitoring Organization after Monday. He was dismissed after that post.
Lattouf’s lawyer Oshie Fagir said that if the evidence of Elizabeth Green, Lattouf’s line manager Elizabeth Green, during the closing presentations to the court, it was a game for ABC, because Green said that she did not give any ‘directing’ in a call with colleagues.

During the removal of Lattouf from the air waves, Green was the content director of ABC Radio Sydney. He is now his chief producer To spread Program.
“MS Lattouf ‘I talked to’ or ‘I speak and’ and ‘and’ In the morningBut I didn’t think of my conversation with Mrs. Lattouf about publishing on social media as a ‘direction’, Grad Green said in a statement.
Green gave Lattouf evidence that he was the best not to publish anything to be considered controversial when he was with us ”, but“ something is sure of a real -based and verified source ”.
