Antoinette Lattouf opens up on fight with the ABC

In December 2023, Antoinette Lattouf was asked to leave ABC Sydney. Since that day, her life has never been the same. A seasoned broadcaster, she was part way through a week-long stint hosting local radio. Behind the scenes however, a coordinated lobbying effort was underway to have Antoinette taken off air. The flashpoint was a Human Rights Watch post she shared on her personal socials. Soon after, she was told to collect her bags and leave. But Antoinette refused to accept the decision, taking the ABC to Federal Court for unlawful termination. Inside the court room, her life was pulled apart in forensic detail. Outside it, the press scrutinised every move and outfit. In her first interview back in the building, Antoinette sits down with Yumi Stynes to unpack the legal fight, who gets to speak and who gets silenced, and her next chapter, starting an independent Australian media company with journalist Jan Fran. Antoinette Lattouf's book Women Who Win is published by Penguin Books Australia. Content Warning: this episode contains discussion of suicidal ideation.
