ABC, seen by many Australians as a bastion of fair reporting, apologised after being ordered to pay Antoinette Lattouf Aus$70,000 (US$45,000) in compensation, with a further financial penalty yet to be decided.
Lattouf took legal action after being dismissed in December 2023, three days into a five-day casual contract with the ABC.
ABC senior management’s consternation over the post turned into a “state of panic”, the judge said, and a decision was made to take her off the air “within the hour”.
“It’s clear the matter was not handled in line with our values and expectations,“ he said in a statement.
“We also let down our staff and audiences, and this failure has caused understandable concern among the public and inside the organisation.”
