Australia journalist unfairly fired over Gaza post awarded £73,436

Australian journalist, Antoinette Lattouf, unfairly fired by the ABC over a Gaza-related post has been awarded A$150,000 in penalties. The Federal Court found that the broadcaster succumbed to pro-Israel groups and unjustly dismissed Lattouf for her political views, sparking public outrage and questions about ABC's independence. Justice Darryl Rangiah emphasized the need for substantial penalties to ensure the ABC learns from the incident and highlighted concerns over how the broadcaster supports culturally diverse employees like Lattouf.
