We stand with Antoinette: ABC Reverse Her Unfair Dismissal! #WESTANDWITHANTOINETTE
 
 
 
On Wednesday 20th December journalist and broadcaster, Antoinette Lattouf, was dismissed from the national broadcaster. The circumstances surrounding her departure have deeply troubled many within and outside the organisation.
 
As one of the few people of Middle Eastern descent contributing to the national broadcast, her voice, perspective, and dedication have been instrumental in fostering diversity, equity, and inclusivity within the media landscape.
 
Her integrity, professionalism, and dedication to truth-telling have been evident throughout her tenure, making her an exemplary figure within the organisation.
 
The abrupt severance of her employment sends a distressing message about the broadcaster's commitment to supporting individuals who speak out against injustice and discrimination. It undermines the principles of free speech, diversity, and the pursuit of truth that are fundamental to the ABC's mission.
 
We implore you, as the leaders entrusted with guiding the ABC, to reevaluate this decision and reinstate Ms. Lattouf to her rightful position. Her contributions not only align with the broadcaster's values but also resonate deeply with audiences who seek representation and a fair reflection of diverse perspectives in the media.
 
The importance of standing up for human rights and ethical journalism cannot be overstated, especially in our current societal landscape. Upholding these values requires actions that demonstrate a commitment to inclusivity, fairness, and the protection of those who advocate for these principles.
 
We urge you to reconsider this decision and take proactive steps to rectify this situation. Restoring Ms. Lattouf's position would not only be a reaffirmation of the ABC's dedication to its core values but also a testament to the importance of fostering an inclusive and just workplace for all employees.
