The Fair Work Commission has found that journalist and presenter Antoinette Lattouf was sacked by the ABC, after she was taken off air part way through a radio presenting stint in December. With Lattouf having lodged a claim against the ABC for unfair dismissal, it had argued that her employment was not actually terminated, as she had been paid for all of the five days on which she was scheduled to broadcast. The Commission’s ruling paves the way for Lattouf to pursue an unlawful termination case against the ABC, with that case having been filed in the Federal Court.
