Journalist and presenter Antoinette Lattouf was sacked by the ABC when she was taken off air part way through a radio presenting stint, the Fair Work Commission has found.

The ABC are taking some poorly thought and knee-jerk decisions lately. They instead should take a State-like approach to their decision making.

I mean, management need to treat their tenure as a small period in an organisation that continues forever. A perspective change, hopefully leading to better deliberative decisions.

No need to rush when you have eternity to play with.

      Yeah, this is important. In such a small traditional media environment they probably feel like they don’t have much choice. They should look for talent in new and independent media if they don’t already, theres still plenty of people out there, they just have tiny loudspeakers.

    They did take a State-like approach.

    The Australian Government supports Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people. The ABC supports Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people. State-like.

    I honestly didn’t read it, but, can people not be sacked anymore?

    I’ve been sacked when I was young, and I damn well deserved it. It was a wakeup call. Never made that mistake again.

      Tl:dr

      1. An xmas hols fill in, made some unrelated post referencing the atrocities happening against palestinians.

      2.Whatsapp (i think) group in Aus decided to launch a targetted campaign to remove lettouf from broadcasting.

      1. Other people from the same group took screenshots and went public

      2. ABC management screwed up, and probably deserve all the punishment they get for having such a wrong headed and knee-jerk response.
