‘Revolution eating its own’: ABC presenter fired for anti-Israel comments alleges 'racism'

Sky News host Andrew Bolt says complaints of “racism” at the ABC is a case of the “revolution eating its own”. Antionette Lattouf, a Lebanese-Australian who was dumped as a fill-in radio host over Christmas for her anti-Israel posts on social media, alleges she was sacked because of her ethnicity. ‘This is why it is disheartening to not only witness the horrendous treatment of people of colour by the ABC over the years, but now to personally — and so publicly — feel its wrath,’ she said. “The ABC – which campaigns so hard on race issues, sees racists everywhere – is itself racist. Our national broadcaster is shockingly racist if their own journalists and presenters are to be believed,” Mr Bolt said. “I’ve never heard so many staff complaints at other organisations, or is the ABC being gamed? “This is a case of the revolution eating its own. “There have been so many complaints from staff about ABC racism that the ABC, in 2022, publicly apologised for this racism in its newsroom.”
