When is Lattofuf fair Outside the media outside the Federal Court, it was clear that this case was always more than unfair dismissal.
Lattouf in question:
In December 2023, I shared a Human Rights Monitoring Organization Post [which] Israel’s hunger found that he used as a war weapon in Gaza.
Now 2025 June and Palestinian children are still starving. We see your images every day. Weakened. Skeleton. Cleaning through the rubble for scrap. This is designed, not a bitter accident.
Lattouf continued:
Dying and killing intentionally hunger and killing is a war crime.
Today, the Court has found that punishing someone to share the facts about these war crimes is illegal.
It takes courage to sue a employer. This employer requires significant courage when he becomes a public publisher. But it is really brave for Lattouf to choose to focus on the pain in Gaza after the court in favor of the court.
This case reveals the systemic prejudices and initiatives of the difficulty of controlling public discourse in our fourth property and emphasizes the neglect of our democratic freedoms. And in relation to the national publisher, he showed the reluctance of the tendency to cave to the facts and external pressures, and questioned whether ABC could be trusted as a narrative of truth.
This illegal dismissal is not the only case that jumps to get rid of the pro -Palestinian stance to be shrinking under the pressure of public institutions and other organizations and labeled as “antisemitic”.
Recent examples include:
The facts are the declaration of the UN Special Committee’s persecution of Israel in Gaza. violations International law consistent with genocide.
People have the right to be informed about these facts. Students have the right to protest. Journalists have the responsibility to report the facts. And we all protect our right to fundamental democratic knowledge.
Undoubtedly, we must trust our public broadcaster to inform the facts and to correctly report correctly without focusing on external pressure.
Instead, when he received complaints from ABC Lobby Group, Israeli lawyers, then General Manager David Anderson personally reviewed Mrs. Lattouf’s social media accounts about the situation in Gaza and sent short messages to the outgoing chief content officer, Chris Oliver-TaylorIncluding the following:
‘I think we have a problem with an antinet.’
Lattouf was soon dismissed.
On Wednesday, Justice Rangiah found that the dismissal of Lattouf’s dismissal of Oliver-Taylor, ABC Chief Content Responsible:
“… A campaign organized for the removal of the pro -Israeli lobbyists Ms. Lattouf … [which] It caused great astonishment between ABC’s top administration. “
He ordered the publisher to pay 70,000 dollars of Lattouf damages and said that ABC might encounter more financial penalties that would be the subject of a future hearing.
So far, ABC’s legal fees have exceeded $ 1.1 million.
Interestingly, as the Director of Defense in RAZARA Saxon Mullins published On social media:
‘… ABC dragged it and defended the embarrassing tasks of Antoinette Lattouf, but he was happy to settle with Bruce Lehrmann and to pay him $ 150,000 instead of defending the truth.’
Address Yesterday, the media outside the Federal Court, Lattouf’s lawyer Josh Bornstein stopped to allow repeated protests from the crowd:
“Break the siege! Gaza Live!”
Bornstein said:
He said: “Like ABC, the organizations that have been folded in the face of malicious complaints about the Israeli-Gazze conflict, ultimately with deviant results or in deviant situations, and this exactly what ABC does.”
Bornstein added that after his dismissal of Lattouf, he chose to “double” and rejected a settlement of $ 85,000 last July:
“The amount of money spent on a case where he could decide on $ 85,000 has clearly helped anything except to discredit ABC.”
Regarding the monastery penalties, Bornstein stated:
“We will look for important penalties because we are worried about ensuring that this never happens again. And ABC’s ICEGALY Offed Antoinette Lattouf’un similar malicious actors to make similar complaints about ABC journalists are real concerns about whether it is again.”
According to A Protector reportAs he realized that he found in favor of the federal court:
Lattouf looked incredible. She turned to her husband, sat in the public gallery behind it, smiled and shook her head. Then he turned to two lawyers sitting next to him, bowed his head and cried.
