The former ABC chair Ita Buttrose sent six emails in rapid succession detailing complaints about Antoinette Lattouf to the broadcaster’s content chief, Chris Oliver-Taylor, in the hours leading up to the casual presenter’s dismissal, federal court documents show.
With the subject line “Ms Lattouf”, the stream of emails was sent between 11.13am and 11.32am on the Wednesday before the journalist was sacked at 1.30pm. Included in Oliver-Taylor’s affidavit, filed by the ABC on Monday, were dozens of complaints the chair had received about the ABC’s decision to hire Lattouf.
