She founded the not for profit Media Diversity 25 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 3: Australia and she was hired by the ABC to host 26 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 3: a radio program for ABC Sydney and that was in 27 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 3: December twenty twenty three. She was hired to host this 28 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 3: program from the eighteenth to the twenty second of December 29 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 3: to fill in for the show's regular host, who. 30 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: Was on leave at the time. 31 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 3: Yeah so Latouf completed a few of those days hosting 32 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 3: the show under that short term contract, but halfway through 33 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 3: her contract was terminated. 34 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: Now. 35 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 3: That was after ABC management raised concerns over a post 36 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 3: that Antoinette Latouf had shared on social media. It was 37 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 3: from Human Rights Watch and the post in question was 38 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 3: a video in which the organization Human Rights Watch claimed 39 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 3: Israel was starving civilians in Gaza as part of its 40 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 3: ongoing war with her mus Latouf is understood to have 41 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 3: shared this video to her personal Instagram account with the 42 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 3: comment human Rights Watch reporting starvation as tool of war. 43 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 3: Latouf was dismissed from her role on the twentieth of December, 44 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 3: two days before the contract was due. 45 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 2: To finish, and then when she was dismissed. What reasons 46 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 2: did the ABC give her? 47 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 3: So the ABC said Latouf was asked specifically not to 48 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 3: post about matters of controversy their words, and they argued 49 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 3: that she breached the organization's social media policy and this 50 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,399 Speaker 3: directive by posting that Human Rights Watch video. So even 51 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 3: though it wasn't a post that Antonette Leatuf had made, 52 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 3: it was. 53 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: The sharing of a post. 54 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 3: There was a comment attached to that, and they argue 55 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,239 Speaker 3: that that breaches that social media policy. 56 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: At the ABC. 57 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 3: As the national broadcaster, which means it's funded by taxpayer money, 58 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 3: the ABC has to uphold really strict impartiality standards to 59 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,839 Speaker 3: ensure that it isn't using tax payer money in any 60 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 3: biased way. There are lots of conversations about this, about 61 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 3: the expectation on the ABC to report in an impartial 62 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 3: and unbiased way. The public documents of these editorial standards 63 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 3: are widely available and very lengthy. It is imperative or 64 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 3: it is part of its charter as the public broadcaster, 65 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 3: that it adheres to those unbiased standards. Central Tilatouf's claim 66 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 3: is that ABC management made the decision to fire her 67 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 3: after a quote coordinated campaign against her by a group 68 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 3: of pro Israel lobbyists. Those claims have been strongly disputed 69 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 3: by the ABC as this case unfolds in court this week, 70 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 3: and have been disputed by the ABC since this story 71 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 3: broke over a year ago. 72 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 2: Now, so she's let go from this contract, and she 73 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 2: says that dismissal was not legal to do. 74 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: Do we know why? 75 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 3: So? Antoinette Leateuf says that she was unfairly dismissed on 76 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 3: the basis of her political opinion and race. So under 77 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 3: the Fair Work Act, which is federal legislation about the 78 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 3: rights of workers, an employer must not terminate your employment 79 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 3: for a number of reasons, including things like being on 80 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 3: parental leave or being part of a trade union. 81 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: So there are certain rights that are protected under this act. 82 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 3: The Act also says you can't terminate someone's employment on 83 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 3: the basis of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, age, physical 84 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 3: or mental disability, marital status, family or caress, responsibilities, pregnancy, religion, 85 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 3: political opinion, national extraction, or social origin. It's a long list, 86 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 3: a long list, but it is central to what La 87 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 3: Twof is arguing. Her claim is that the ABC's management 88 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 3: made a decision to fire her after a quote coordinated 89 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 3: campaign against her by a group of again quoting pro 90 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 3: Israel lobbyists. Those claims have been strongly disputed by the 91 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 3: public broadcaster as the case unfolds in court this week. 92 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 2: So the case has come to court obviously. Now it's 93 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 2: been a fairly long time between December twenty twenty three 94 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 2: and February twenty twenty five. Were there any other steps 95 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 2: before we got to court? 96 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, So the reason that this has been so stretched 97 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 3: out over more than a year now is that there 98 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 3: have been steps to avoid I suppose you could argue 99 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 3: from either side getting to this point in the federal court. 100 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 3: L two filed a complaint to the Fair Work Commission 101 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 3: last year based on those same allegations that I outlined earlier, 102 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 3: and during that process, the ABC denied the claims, as 103 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 3: it continues to do so, argued it didn't technically dismiss 104 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 3: latoof because she was paid through the full five day contract, 105 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 3: so she didn't complete five days of work, but her 106 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 3: contract was paid in full. The ABC also said that 107 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 3: it was legally allowed to ask Latouf to quote politely 108 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 3: leave after she had breached what they've argued is a 109 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 3: breach of the broadcaster's social media policy, and in the 110 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 3: end in June, the Fair Work Commission rejected the ABC's arguments, 111 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 3: saying Latoof was dismissed, but it didn't reach a decision 112 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 3: on whether or not that was fair. So the unfair 113 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 3: dismissal argument, I suppose, has now continued and the commission, 114 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 3: the Fair Work Commission allowed Latouf to pursue federal court 115 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 3: action to answer that question. So that is where we 116 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 3: find ourselves now. 117 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 2: I see when cases are before the federal court, sometimes 118 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 2: the judge will make a decision that the proceedings can 119 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 2: be live streamed if they're going to be not too 120 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 2: sensitive or if they're going to be in something called 121 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 2: the public interest, which given that this involves the public broadcaster, 122 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 2: it's easy to understand why that's been the case. So 123 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 2: we have been able to watch some of the proceedings 124 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 2: on the live stream this week. 125 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: What have we heard? 126 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 3: So on Monday we heard the opening statement from Latoof's 127 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 3: legal team, so they've sort of set out the arguments 128 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 3: by Antoinette Latouf, the accusations against the ABC, and what 129 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 3: was new in those opening arguments was excerpts from private 130 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 3: messages and emails between ABC Managing Director David Anderson, it's 131 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,679 Speaker 3: chair at the time, Ita Buttrose, and Chief Content Officer 132 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 3: Chris Oliver Taylor. Now all three of those senior executives 133 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 3: have left or are leaving their positions at the ABC. 134 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 3: The court was told that these executives set in messages 135 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 3: to each other that Antoinette was an issue or a 136 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 3: quote Antoinette issue, and that. 137 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: Her socials were quote full of anti Semitic hatred. 138 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 3: According to Latouf's lawyer, the former chair Ida Buttros said, 139 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 3: I have a whole clutch more complaints. Can't she come 140 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 3: down with flu or COVID or a stomach upset? We 141 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 3: owe her nothing now. Some of those complaints that that 142 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 3: text from Buttrose is referring to were also read out 143 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 3: by Latoof's lawyer, but the judge ruled that none of 144 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 3: the identities of those complainants could be revealed in court. 145 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 2: So then on Tuesday, there was a focus on Latoof's 146 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 2: mental health in some of the evidence that was presented. 147 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 2: What do we hear of that? 148 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: Yes? 149 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 3: So on day two of these hearings, the court heard 150 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 3: that Antoinette Latouf had turned to alcohol, sleeping aids, self medicating, 151 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 3: to help with this psychological fallout that she says she's 152 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 3: experienced since being dismissed. She also claimed that there have 153 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 3: been threats made against her, which New South Wales Police 154 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 3: did confirm to The Sydney Morning Herald that they are 155 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 3: currently investigating. So that kind of paints this picture from 156 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 3: Latouf's team that she has suffered psychologically. 157 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: As a result of this dismissal. 158 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 3: During cross examination on Tuesday, the ABC's legal team focused 159 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 3: on the perceived benefits to use their words, that Latouf 160 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 3: had accrued since the incident in December twenty twenty three. 161 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 3: So they pointed to her being awarded prizes, launching a podcast, 162 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 3: seeing a sharp increase in her Instagram followers, and launching 163 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 3: a conference. Kind of this idea that since the incident, 164 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 3: Antoinette Latouf has actually benefited rather than has suffered. In 165 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 3: terms of what these arguments are on this, the ABC's 166 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 3: council questioned, quote, does being the poster girl for justice 167 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 3: or humanity or a free and fair press pay very well? 168 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 2: So then on Wednesday it was the ABC's turn. We 169 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 2: heard from their lawyer making the ABC's opening statement, and 170 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 2: then from the managing director, David Anderson. Emma, what kinds 171 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 2: of things were they saying. 172 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 3: Yes, So the latest from the Federal Court is that yesterday, 173 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 3: as you said, lou See, the ABC's lawyer gave the 174 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 3: Public Broadcasters opening statement. Ian Neil is the name of 175 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 3: their lawyer, and he argued that the external pressure didn't 176 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 3: have any impact on the decision to dismiss latoof from 177 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 3: her contract after the first day that she was on air. 178 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 3: So she went on air on the Monday, a raft 179 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 3: of complaints came in, they were assessed. Antonette Latouf went 180 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 3: back to work the next day. According to the ABC's arguments, 181 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 3: and Neil said that the ABC had told Latouf more 182 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 3: than once not to post about the situation in Gaza 183 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 3: and not to mention it on air. In the afternoon yesterday, 184 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 3: we also heard from the outgoing managing director of the ABC, 185 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 3: David Anderson. Now he took to the stand and was 186 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 3: cross examined by Latouf's lawyer. He admitted the personal social 187 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 3: media of ABC employees isn't subject to the broadcaster's editorial 188 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 3: policies around balance and neutrality. So we had mentioned earlier 189 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 3: in the episode about you know those editorial standards that 190 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 3: the Public Broadcaster is beholden to. But then that kind 191 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 3: of distinction about what their employees are expected to do 192 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,079 Speaker 3: online in terms of public statements, though, Anderson said presenters 193 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 3: are quote not removed from air if it's not a problem. 194 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 3: If they do something that is otherwise considered to be 195 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 3: undermining their effectiveness of work, then yes, they might be 196 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 3: sanctioned for it. He added, we can't regulate what they do. 197 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 3: We can judge what they do afterwards that we can't 198 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 3: regulate what they do. People can have freedoms, they'll do 199 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 3: what they want on social media, so we can't regulate 200 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 3: what they do. 201 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 2: Interesting, it's certainly a challenge that every journalist and every 202 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 2: news company in the country around the world is conscious 203 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 2: of being a public figure in some respects and having 204 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 2: this job that requires neutrality in order to have trust. 205 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 3: Exactly, And I think the kind of bigger picture of 206 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 3: social media's role in advocacy something that employers probably everywhere 207 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 3: have grappled with, not just in public facing industries, not 208 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 3: just in the media. But you know, where do you 209 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 3: draw the line between an employee and the company they're representing. 210 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. So the case is continuing throughout this week. 211 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 2: Not sure when we'll have ultimately a judgment in that case, 212 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 2: but we will certainly bring you the updates when we 213 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 2: have them.
