The ABC executive who dismissed journalist Antoinette Lattouf from her post as a casual radio presenter initially warned his bosses removing her would cause 'phenomenal blowback'. Lattouf was hired to fill a five-day timeslot on the Mornings show on ABC Radio Sydney in December 2023. But the 41-year-old was dismissed after three days on air after sharing a Human Rights Watch post that said Israel had used starvation as a 'weapon of war' in Gaza.
