ABC presenter Antoinette Lattouf removed from radio amid internal turmoil

Antoinette Lattouf was removed from her role at ABC Radio Sydney after complaints about her views on the Israel-Gaza war. Internal emails show turmoil among ABC executives leading to her dismissal, which occurred just days after she began a five-day contract. ABC managing director David Anderson initially planned for Lattouf to complete her contract. However, after receiving numerous complaints and a controversial social media post, the decision shifted, leading to her removal on December 20, 2023. Lattouf claims her dismissal was influenced by her political views and race. The ABC maintains her employment ended as scheduled, while a court case is ongoing to determine the nature of her termination.
