Managing director David Anderson emailed the ABC’s chief content officer to say complaints had been made about Antoinette Lattouf, the Fair Work Commission has heard.
ABC managing director David Anderson raised concerns about broadcaster Antoinette Lattouf being on air on the first day of her intended week-long stint before she shared a social media post about Gaza, the Fair Work Commission in Sydney has heard.
Under cross-examination from Lattouf’s lawyer, Mark Gibian, SC, on Friday, ABC Radio Sydney’s content director, Elizabeth Green, said she was asked by station manager Steve Ahern to speak to Lattouf about social media and “what she says about Gaza”. He said other measures to protect Lattouf included more rigorous screening of talkback callers and more judicious use of the “dump button” to get rid of rogue callers.
Both Ahern and Green were in a planning meeting later on the Wednesday when Ahern received a call from Latimer with the final decision. Ahern relayed it to those in the room, before calling in Lattouf to inform her.
