Australia's national broadcaster ABC was forced to pay $150,000 in compensation for dismissing Antoinette Lattouf over a social media post about the Gaza war. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to the court ruling, Lattouf was removed from her position under political views and pressure from Israeli groups. The court emphasized that Lattouf was never warned not to write the post and that her dismissal was based solely on suspicion.
Antoinette Lattouf has worked in Australian media for several years, focusing on issues of racism and mental health. The court's decision stated that she had previously received $70,000 in compensation and will now be paid an additional $150,000.
ABC television apologized publicly in response to this court ruling. The judge noted that the financial penalty acknowledges ABC's wrongdoing and highlights the importance of protecting employees.
This case once again demonstrated the necessity of protecting employees' rights and ensuring justice in the media.
