The ABC executive who sacked Antoinette Lattouf left the public broadcaster in February with a $342,436 termination payment, taking his pay to $836,098 for eight months as chief content officer, according to the ABC annual report.

Chris Oliver-Taylor resigned after his role was substantially downgraded by the ABC chair, Kim Williams, and weeks before he was to give evidence in the high profile court case brought by Lattouf.
