The Fair Work Commission has ruled against the public broadcaster in its attempts to have the unlawful dismissal case thrown out.
Antoinette Lattouf landed a major win in her unlawful dismissal case against the ABC on Monday after the Fair Work Commission ruled she was sacked by the national broadcaster.
“In this case, I find that the employment relationship between the applicant and the ABC was terminated at the ABC’s initiative,” the ruling on Monday morning said.It is the first major decision in what has become a bitter and drawn out feud between the media figure and public broadcaster over the past six months. Lattouf’s contract was terminated after she shared a Human Rights Watch post with the caption “HRW reporting starvation as a tool of war” on Instagram while employed by the ABC.
