Australian journalist Antoinette Lattouf has won her unlawful termination claim against public broadcaster ABC and was awarded $45,511, Anadolu Agency reports citing local media.

The Federal Court found the broadcaster contravened the Fair Work Act by terminating her employment for reasons “including that she held a political opinion opposing the Israeli military campaign in Gaza,” according to ABC News.

Lattouf, a Lebanese-Australian journalist, was employed by ABC for a five-day engagement in December 2023 but was fired just three days into her job after sharing an Instagram post by Human Rights Watch about the war in Gaza with the caption “HRW reporting starvation as a tool of war,” which ABC said was a breach of its editorial policy.
