Ita Buttrose bites back: ‘I was over getting emails about Ms Lattouf’
“If I wanted someone removed, I’d be franker than that.”
Former ABC Chair Ita Buttrose has held her own in a fierce exchange with sacked broadcaster Antoinette Lattouf’s lawyer on Tuesday afternoon.
The 83-year-old took the stand as part of the public broadcaster’s defence against Lattouf’s unfair dismissal case currently being heard in the Sydney Federal court.
Buttrose, a media veteran, appeared on the stand in a wheelchair and bright blue suit jacket. She matched wits with Lattouf’s barrister, Philip Boncardo, firmly.
