ABC staff say they are “disgusted” by the way the public broadcaster is managing its federal court case with journalist Antoinette Lattouf and say legal arguments around race “destroys any hope that the ABC intends to address the systemic racism”.

Lattouf’s unlawful termination case is being heard in the federal court. The case was brought by the former radio presenter after she was hired as a casual host on ABC Radio Sydney’s Mornings program for one week in December 2023. She was taken off air three days into a five-day contract after she posted on social media about the Israel-Gaza war.
