MEAA says ABC staff ‘have lost confidence’ in managing director

The Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance (MEAA) says ABC staff “have lost confidence” in David Anderson, after union members at the public broadcaster passed a vote of no confidence in the managing director.

The MEAA says the vote was passed “overwhelmingly” at an online meeting attended by over 200 members, who believe Anderson has failed “to defend the integrity of the ABC and its staff from outside attacks”.

The news comes after it was revealed today that ABC is looking to have Antoinette Lattouf’s unlawful termination case dismissed on the basis that it did not terminate her employment.

Lattouf’s lawyer Josh Bornstein was advised by the public broadcaster on 18 January that Lattouf was not entitled to make an unlawful termination application to the Fair Work Commission as she had not been sacked.
