Lattouf wins case against the ABC as judge awards $70k for distress
Federal Court Justice Darryl Rangiah has ruled that the ABC breached the Fair Work Act when it cut short Antoinette Lattouf’s five-day stint on Sydney radio, in a case that exposed the public broadcaster’s sometimes ramshackle internal processes.
Lattouf sued the ABC for breach of contract and racial discrimination after her radio presenting gig at ABC Radio Sydney ended in December 2023.
In summing up, Justice Rangiah said “[Lattouf] was not given any opportunity to defend herself.”
