The former ABC chair Ita Buttrose has pointed to alleged “inconsistencies” in David Anderson’s affidavit for a federal court case, citing differing details of where and when the outgoing managing director told Buttrose that Antoinette Lattouf had been sacked.
In an explosive letter to ABC lawyers seen by Guardian Australia, Buttrose last week urged the ABC to tell Lattouf’s lawyers about the alleged inconsistencies in Anderson’s version of events as set out in his affidavit. The affidavit was filed in court in Lattouf’s unlawful termination case against the ABC, which returns for closing arguments on Thursday.
