Australia News Update: Thousands of Australians Stranded in Conflict Zones in Israel and Iran
Antoinette Lattouf, a casual ABC radio host and Palestine advocate, is seeking compensation for alleged unlawful termination after sharing a Human Rights Watch post about Israel's actions in Gaza. The Federal Court is set to deliver its judgment soon.
A casual ABC radio host and Palestine advocate, Antoinette Lattouf, was taken off air after three days on the job and is awaiting a judgment on her unlawful termination case. She was hired for a week-long stint on ABC Radio Sydney's Mornings program but was let go for sharing a Human Rights Watch post about Israel's actions in Gaza. Lattouf, 41, claims she was fired due to her race and political opinion. The Federal Court is set to decide on her compensation and penalties on Wednesday.
During a hearing, it was revealed that a pro-Israeli group's complaints led to her dismissal, despite her supervisor's alleged approval of posting from reputable sources. The ABC denies bias but states Lattouf breached guidelines by discussing Israel and Gaza. She accuses ABC executives of making her termination public prematurely.
