The ABC sacked our colleague because of her political opinion and to appease a lobby group, the court found. And they spent more than $1 million on ridiculous defences including the she was never sacked and there is no such thing as a Lebanese race. Time for the ABC to rethink how it treats staff.
The ABC (my employer) needs to stop defending this case against Lattouf and settle - including an apology and reinstatement. They should not have taken her off air in such a manner. Her colleagues stand with her.

My Trade Secrets today. The EU’s rushing to build a Starlink alternative, not just for Ukraine but economic security.

It will cost tens of billions, but as the price of preserving world trade it’s an insurance premium well worth paying.

You’ve got a national newspaper openly cheering for rather than interrogating genocide & calls from right-wing women to “finish them”

Yet those being attacked & silenced in Australia are overwhelmingly Arabs whose outrageous stance is: Please stop killing children & journalists.
