ABC has been ordered to pay journalist Antoinette Lattouf $150,000 after the Federal Court ruled the national broadcaster unlawfully terminated her back in 2023 when she shared a post about Gaza. At the time, he found the broadcaster acted unlawfully by dismissing Lattouf because of her political opinion opposing Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.

The decision officially wraps up one of the most closely-watched legal fights between a journalist and the ABC in years.
