“After the Fair Work Commission found Lattouf had been sacked last year, she took her case to the federal court alleging she was removed from air due to her political opinions and/or race three days into a five-day casual contract.”
Sacked 3 days into a 5 day casual contract. Something sounds off on both sides.
Management didn’t have to patiences or skills to wait 2 days until her contract expired? Am I reading that wrong.
And to be so horrible to work with they discussed canning her and then did.
She wasn't horrible to work with, she shared a Human Rights Watch post about Israel using starvation as a weapon and was fired for supporting Palestine.
sharing lies is sharing propaganda
a real journalist would have questioned it
and the facts have been borne out, 500,000 did not die of starvation like Hamas said they would
She wasn’t sharing Zionist propaganda so I can’t see her sharing lies here?
But they were using starvation as a weapon weren't they? They were blocking aid workers from bringing food into the area...
They still are blocking most aid despite the ceasefire agreements.
There's emails back and forth between senior ABC leadership at the time explicitly stating they wanted her sacked because of pressure from a group of pro-Israel lobbyists. https://youtu.be/Tpc7r9y8LsY
